Ah, my area of expertise!!! I sell beds for a living here in England, not that I will be able to furnish you with much assistance, but I don't think that the zipped mattresses idea has reached Turkey or many other places in Europe (yes, I know Turkey's not Europe!! :-)) We have quite a few people who buy from us and we ship them overseas - Italy, Spain, France loads of times so thats why I think they can't be very popular / available overseas. (Told you I wouldn't help you much!!) My advise would be to push them together, but have a REALLY good, super dooper mattress protector with a deep skirt on that hugs them together well, as oppossed to the corner elasticated strapped ones that you quite often get. I've taken our mattress protectors over with me to Turkey, because they're really padded and skirted, but you may be able to buy them over there I don't know. Ours are specially made in Germany for our shop and lots of our customers say they're better than the ones you get in John Lewis - but I don't know that either. Sorry I can't help anymore than that. I would be interested to know if anyone else has seen zipped matts in Turkey though - perhaps I should open my own bed shop in Fethiye.
