Hi DT,

 

Thank you for your question.

 

As has been explained on our website, everyone's definition of firmness is different which is why we always ask for body weights as the mattress-guide/" title="spring">spring tension of a mattress is dictated by a person's weight.  However, in the majority of instances, the upholstery along side the spring tension will also decide on the firmness of a mattress.

 

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)

 

We have four ranges of mattresses all of which have a firm feel mattress in each of those ranges.   As you are looking at an ultra firm mattress, we would recommend looking at our Resilience Range as these mattresses have been made to suit the more heavier sleeper.   The mattresses will feel firm to anyone 18st and above so if your body weight is less than this, then the mattress would feel extremely firm for you.

 

	Resilience 1
Cover	Micro-quilt John Ryan Cover with tape edged damask sides
1	7.5cm of 60kg Laygel Foam
2	5cm V39 Medium Support Foam
3	15cm of V38 Firm Support Foam
4	5cm V39 Medium Support Foam
Total Depth	32.5cm + 3-5 cm for the quilted cover

 

Your Bodyweight	This will feel

10-12 Stone	Ultra Firm
12-14 Stone	Ultra Firm
14-16 Stone	Firm
16-18 Stone	Firm
18 Stone Plus	Medium to Firm

 

	Resilience 2
Cover	Micro-quilt John Ryan Cover with tape edged damask sides
1	5cm of 70kg 100% Natural Latex
2	5cm V39 Medium Support Foam
3	15cm of V38 Firm Support Foam
4	5cm V39 Medium Support Foam
Total Depth	30cm + 3-5 cm for the quilted cover

 

Your Bodyweight	This will feel
Under 10 Stone	Ultra Firm
10-12 Stone	Ultra Firm
12-14 Stone	Ultra Firm
14-16 Stone	Firm
16-18 Stone	Firm
18 Stone Plus	Medium to Firm

 

Both of the Resilience mattresses are made of solid foam and do not have any springs in the mattress but have different separate toppers to give different levels of comfort.  The Resilience 1 has a soft laygel topper which allows the sleeper to slowly sink into the topper before hitting the firm core mattress.   The Resilience 2 again has a separate topper and is made of 100% Natural Latex which will give more of a medium comfort before hitting the firm core mattress.

 

 

 

I hope the above is of assistance to you, however, as we do need to know the body weights of the people who will be sleeping on the mattress in order to give the correct advice which in turn will then enable you to order the correct mattress, could you please telephone the office on 0161 437 4419.

 

Kind regards Julie
