In response to your feedback I managed to get this from Millbrook about the two beds that interested me: Saturn: Hypo-allergenic interliner Layer of resilient polyester 235gsm 30mm latex (on each side) 2x15mm Topped with layer of soft lambswool 300gsm Pom Pom tufts Twofold high quality jacquard woven damask
Jupiter: Hypo allergenic interliner Luxurious layer of resilient cotton and polyester 1000gsm Resilient layer of polyester 235gsm Luxurious pashmina topper pad 500gsm Pom Pom tufts Twofold high quality jacquard woven damask
I like the Millbrook Bed and through **** through a cashback site I can get 20% off.
Which puts the Saturn into our price bracket quite nicely.
However I'd be interesed to know of your beds which comes closest.
I do admit after spending days/weeks reviewing these beds most manufacturers detail on their beds is very poor.

Hi Damian,
Thanks for your comments and follow up.
As you can see, once you know the breakdown of any mattress, comparisons become easier and far less frustrating.
You now have the opportunity not only to compare like for like on price but also have the essential knowledge to see if you can find mattresses with even more fillings for an equivalent price. As for The Saturn, I would still be asking for complete clarity as to the latex layers. Is it actually two layers totalling 30mm EACH SIDE or two layers totalling 30mm on the complete mattress - 15mm each side?
As a point of note and again because you now have what I call essential information you are also in a position to gauge how much of a mattress is wadding and how much is air.
Take the Jupiter for example... consists of three wadding components; 1000gsm Cotton/Poly 235gsm Polyester 500gsm Pashmina pad So the total weight of combined upholstery per square meter equals 1735gsm. Armed with this information you can now see whether you can get even more for your money. The Jupiter has 3 rows hand side stitching, an expensive detail.
By narrowing your search to a mattress that has two rows of hand side stitching, will you be able to get more 'insides' for a similar price, such as double the amount of cotton or an extra layer of wool?
And finally, the most important thing to bear in mind is whether this or indeed ANY mattress is going to be suitable for you and your partners body weight / sleeping habits as well as your wallet?
| Bodyweight | Spring tension |
|---|---|
| Upto 16 Stone / 50-101kg | Medium (1.4mm) |
| 16 Stone / 101kg Upwards | Firm (1.6mm) |
| Available in Bespoke Products (Please Call) | Soft (1.2mm) |
As for what I would offer, I would pitch our Origins Pocket Latex 2000 against these particular models. This will be a very firm mattress as you have a firm spring tension giving support from inside the mattress and then a latex top layer.
Thanks for your comment Damian and in time I hope that all manufacturers will be detailing specs to a greater degree.
Please let me know what you decide upon.
Kind Regards, John and Ryan.
