Every chiropractor sees the same thing — you fix someone's back, six weeks later they're back in pain. Their bodies aren't the problem. What they sleep on is.
After 25 years treating Irish necks and backs in clinic, Dr. Lawrence Woods got tired of telling patients which mattress to buy — so he designed it with Dr. Sinéad Moore (PhD, DCU) and chartered physiotherapist Kate Ryan, and opened a showroom in Dún Laoghaire.
Designed in Ireland, tested on real patients — refined until they stopped coming back with the same complaints.

Molecular biologist (PhD, DCU). Co-specified the materials and layer structure, working with European growers for traceable natural latex.

Tested early prototypes with real patient cases — side sleepers, broad shoulders, pregnancy — and helped shape the final build.
The same natural latex and chiropractor-led design across the range — from the mattress you sleep on to the chair you sit in.
A side-by-side look at natural latex, memory foam, and the pocket-spring build most Irish homes already have.
Natural latex is an open-cell, responsive material — push it, it pushes back. Memory foam slowly compresses under body heat and develops permanent body dents at 5–7 years. Pocket springs lose tension over time and the foam topper above them compresses unevenly, which is why most spring mattresses develop visible body impressions.
Our latex is whipped into a structure with thousands of vertical air channels (pin-cored) so warm air escapes through the surface. Memory foam's closed-cell structure traps heat against the body — the #1 reason returning customers cite. Pocket springs sleep cool too — air moves freely between the coils — though the foam topper that sits above them often reverses that benefit.
Three layers of natural latex — a comfort, corrective and support layer — under a Tencel® cover, with no springs and no memory foam. Memory foam softens under body heat; pocket springs support the surface uniformly.
Natural latex doesn't off-gas. Memory foam — being polyurethane — releases VOCs (volatile organic compounds) for the first weeks after unboxing, which many people experience as a "new mattress smell". Pocket-spring mattresses are mostly steel underneath, but they almost always sit under a polyurethane foam topper that does off-gas — usually less intensely than a pure memory-foam bed.
Natural latex holds its shape for 10+ years — we back that with a 10-year mattress warranty. Memory foam typically softens into a permanent dent at 5–7 years. Pocket-spring mattresses are commonly rated at 7–10 years, but most develop visible sagging or "body impressions" around the 8-year mark as the foam topper compresses and individual coils lose tension.
Our latex is tapped from rubber trees — 100% plant-based, biodegradable at end of life. Memory foam is derived from petroleum and doesn't break down. Pocket-spring mattresses combine steel coils with polyurethane and polyester padding — neither biodegradable, and a recycling nightmare at end of life (which is why so many end up in landfill).

Every layer was specified by a chiropractor and a molecular biologist. The mattress is built to hold your spine in neutral alignment whether you sleep on your back, your side, or somewhere in between.
Open-cell natural latex contours to the body and springs back, instead of packing down like foam.
Natural latex contours to the body without trapping you in foam. Reviewers call it "firm and cosy at once."
Designed by an Irish chiropractor and physiotherapist who've been treating real backs for 25 years.
A mattress is really judged at 3am, not in five minutes — but the showroom is still a good place to start. Walk-ins welcome, no booking required.
70 Lower Mounttown Road, Dún Laoghaire, A96 R6C9. Walk-ins welcome, or book a free consultation with Dr. Woods or Dr. Moore.
If you've got a different question, the easiest answer is to call us or come into the showroom.
Ask the people who specified the materials and built the mattress. No pressure.
Order the mattress and sleep on it for up to 100 nights. If it isn't working for you, get in touch and we'll guide you through the return. After the 14-day statutory period, an 15% restocking fee applies on mattress returns — we mention it here rather than burying it in the small print. The 10-year warranty covers the mattress against manufacturing defects.
It can take 2–3 weeks for your body to adjust to a new mattress, so we'd suggest giving it that time before deciding.
Free delivery anywhere in Ireland. Most orders ship within 1–2 working days; some custom configurations take 5–14 days. We'll confirm an exact date when you order.
And we collect your old mattress when we deliver — no skip hire, no council collection, no awkward hallway shuffle.
Natural latex has a faint smell when it first arrives — a clean, earthy "rubber" note that goes away in 24–48 hours. That's the smell of plant material, not chemicals.
What you've heard about "off-gassing" comes from memory foam and polyurethane — those release VOCs (volatile organic compounds) for weeks or months. Our mattresses contain no polyurethane.
Natural latex is dust-mite and mould resistant by nature, and the pin-cored structure doesn't trap moisture or skin cells the way foam and spring mattresses do. That is a property of the material — we can't tell you how it will affect your symptoms.
Latex also comes from natural rubber, which contains the proteins behind latex allergy. If you have a history of latex allergy, or any concerns, talk to your doctor or practitioner before ordering.
20cm Standard: firmer feel — better for back and stomach sleepers, or anyone who prefers a more supportive surface.
25cm Elite: the extra 5cm adds a cushioning layer — better for side sleepers, broader shoulders, or anyone who likes a softer top-feel without losing support underneath.
If you're not sure, come into the showroom and lie on both. We'll help you choose without commission staff pushing the more expensive one.
Splitit splits the mattress price into monthly instalments at 0% APR — around €66/month on the Double at a 24-month plan. There's no application or credit check; it uses the available limit on your existing credit card.
Borrowing terms and the standard ASAI risk warning are shown at checkout before you confirm.

I had a new mattress from The Spinery delivered last week and ever since I've had the best nights' sleep I've had in years. I used to have aches in my hips and back during the night but they have gone now and I wake up feeling refreshed.
Until we discovered 'The Spinery' we had been having difficulty finding a mattress compatible to both our needs. … As a Chartered Physiotherapist, I will be recommending your mattresses and particularly so to people with a history of back pain.
Having two herniated disks and going through quite a few mattresses without any results my body was telling me that some changes were immediately required. I've found online and decided to give The Spinery a go and purchase a specialised, chiropractic made mattress. Within a week the difference was very noticeable. No more muscle aches in the morning and a lot less back pain.
When I was in the Spinery with Lawrence we discussed looking at the neck support pillow, which I purchased and within a few days I was sleeping better, had no neck pain in the morning and throughout the day. Following on from this, a few months later I was getting an adjustment, and I started to look at a mattress to complement the pillow. I arranged, with Sinead, to get it shipped to me in Germany.
As a chiropractor practising in Dublin, Ireland I was delighted to be learn of the incredible products that The Spinery have spent years developing. I have always invested in my mattresses over the last 20 years but it's fair to say that my The Spinery mattress is my favourite so far and I'm highly recommending it to my patients and friends.
I also got 2 of the Dream pillows which are just fabulous, I got used to it straight away but just be sure to adjust the height of the pillow to the correct height for neck comfort and also for a great nights sleep, the perfect accessory to the perfect mattress.
For many years I have suffered from back and neck pain. Despite researching and purchasing many pillows,I continued to endure tense neck muscles and restless sleep. My life changed since finding the Spinery Piillow. … I am able to sleep comfortably on my side for the first time in years + I wake up rested and pain free.
I have been diagnosed with neck and head arthritis. I have never used a pillow, but my physiotherapist suggested that I get one. … I got a great pillow - firm but soft. Kate was very helpful.
I suffer from arthritis and have had two hip replacements before the age of 62yrs. … I cannot bear memory foam as I am a hot sleeper, and decided that latex seemed to tick all the boxes, not least because of it's longevity as compared with sprung mattresses. Sinead was very helpful and oversaw the whole order and delivery process.
Having had long standing lower back & neck problems, finally making solid progress with Lawrence. I'm also learning more about seating & standing posture, and having purchased the seat foundation, this is helping at my desk as I use my PC.
When I was in Ireland last month, checking on my Airbnb, I visited a local Chiropractor in Dublin, for my back pain. The physician advised trying a latex mattress. I ordered the mattress from the Spinery and now for the first time in many years, I am pain free. I would give this mattress ten stars, if it were an option.
I have had this pillow since 2021 and I can honestly say it changed my life. I suffer from bad posture and neck pain. I always used to wake up regularly with a pulled muscle or discomfort during the night and it was rare I got a good nights sleep in comfort.
i have suffered for years with neck problems and could not sleep but ever since i got my pillow for Dr sinead i have managed to have great sleep and wake up feeling good very little pain
Excellent place - professional chiropractor and friendly advisor for ergonomic mattresses and pillows - all under one roof. How can it get better than this?
6 months now sleeping on the Spinery mattress and I could not have made a better choice! Not only is it extremely comfortable but the support is second to none, and for me the main benefit is how cool the mattress stays over night.
I purchased a super king mattress with the bed-frame and I am delighted with both. Mattress is very comfortable, supports without being stiff and it stays cool. The bed-frame is simple elegance , high quality and very solid-it is very good value when you consider the price of similar pieces of furniture.
Honestly the best mattresses and pillows ever. … I bought four mattresses and all the family love them. Service was excellent and mattresses arrived exactly when they said and they offer an old mattress removal service.
