Considering Origins Pocket Latex mattress

Hello Ryan and John, First of all, thank you very much for providing the wealth of information. Very useful indeed!
I'm pretty much decided on a pocket sprung + latex for my next mattress. I am 5'5" and my weight hover between 13.5 and 15 stones. My budget, I would say is £500-700. I am seriously considering your Origins Pocket Latex 1500. I think I am after a relatively softer feel but I am slightly concerned that 1500 springs is a little borderline considering my weight?
Didn't you have also a 2000 springs+latex, which would be more suitable for me?

Hi Philippe.
I think for your budget The Origins Pocket Latex ticks all your boxes.
We do have a 2000 model but this is reserved more for people of a greater bodyweight than yours.
| 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) |
There is enough latex as a primary layer to balance out your weight load as well as adequate support from the springs.
Apart from your mattress, the alternatives I have in mind are 2 Healthbeds mattress.
The Paris 2300 has 5 cm of 100% Natural Latex (Celsion) on top of 2000 pocket sprung with 300 sprung open coil base which offers edge to edge support.
Not much details about fillings apart from "lambs wool, cashmere and silk fillings".
Hand tufting and side stitching.
There is not that much a difference between the latex used on The Paris compared to our Origins, Celsion is from Latex International - Our latex is from Latexco.
Our blend is 60 / 40 and the Paris is described as 100% natural !
I would be inclined to question this as primary layer latex using a higher ratio of natural latex would be rather firm.
Cannot find description outlining the wool, cashmere and silk fillings you mention.
The other one is the Monet 1500, which has a 5cm foam (don't know about the quality) + 2cm 100% natural latex on top of 1500 pocket sprung.
No comparison.
I have to say I am tempted by the Paris, since it looks like high quality latex and the number of springs seems adequate for my weight.
Also, I can get it for the same price as your Origins Pocket Latex 1500.
| John Ryan By Design Origins 1500 | |
|---|---|
| 1 | 300gsm Wool |
| 2 | 750gsm Very Soft Polyester |
| 3 | 500gsm Polyester Pad |
| 4 | One Inch Foam Insulator Layer |
| 5 | 1500 Spun Bond Pocket Springs |
On the other end, the down side is they seem to only guarantee the mattress for one year only and the depth of the latex layer is less than yours...
Do you have any comments regarding number of springs vs my weight?
What do you think of memory foam+latex top layer?
Is this just a trick to save money on a full latex layer?
Many thanks in advance!
The ballpark price I have found for The Paris is in the region of £800 (Kingsize) which extends your budget somewhat.
As for the memory foam and latex combo, it's all price relative more than a trick.
Keep in touch.
John and Ryan.
