Feather and Black Fitzgerald mattress

A customer asked

Dear John and Ryan, Excellent website.

We are buying a King size mattress for our Feather and Black Bed.

We have looked at Feather and Black's mattresses and love the feel of them.

We are looking at the Fitzgerald which is retailing for around £1955.

It has a spring count of 5000 which seems higher than most others on the market.

I would like to compare like with like though.

I don't like buying something without comparing it to other similar mattresses.

We want a natural fibre bed which will last well and does not over heat, and therefore I'm writing to ask your advice.

David and Kim.

Hi Dave and Kim.

This is a Harrisons mattress.

Your only means of any kind of direct comparison will be a Harrison Spinks outlet or John Lewis.

I think the model name Fitzgerald is for Feather and Black, but look at the components and a bit of investigative work will produce the same / similar model from other retailers of the same model - different name.

To look for like for like' with all Harrison's matts is not really that posible.

Their Revolution [spring in spring]springs are unique to them, as is the use of Hempure.

Their main competitor is of course Vi-Spring and so general quality comparisons can be made there.

Harrisons obsession with high spring counts are somwhat annoying.

I personally would be looking for total gsm/m3 of natural upholstery rather than metal.

Upholstery weights for this price range should be in excess of 3000gsm.

As for overheating, no worry with natural fibres.

Complaints about overheating on naturals can usually be put down to menopause or consumers own tolerance to night sweats.

As a starting point, I would ask you to consider our Artisan Naturals.

About 85% natural but the use of man made fibre is in areas where the impact on you is negligible.

If you require any further assistance please call the office on 0161 437 4419.

Kind Regards Gary
