Hi Ian.

You will know by now that £800 for a good pocket spung Ziplink mattress set is hard to come by.

Our Origins Pocket Latex with a good 8cm (6cm latex + 2cm Reflex) of upholstery above the spring unit is a phenomenal amount for this price.

The quality of the latex we use in this particular model is also beyond reproach (sourced through Latexco - same company who supply Dunlopillo).

However, your wife may initially find this particular model on the medium to firm side - meaning that her light weight would struggle to utilise the spring support in the way they are intended.

But, with this particular model this is not particularly important as Latex can work equally well as support and comfort - usually these two measures should be assessed separately.

As with all mattresses, the use of a separate topper is essential to act as protection from perspiration, accidental spills etc.

Your bodyweight	This will feel
Under 10 Stone / 63kg	Very Firm
10-12 Stone / 63-76kg	Firm to Medium
12-14 Stone / 76-88kg	Medium to Firm
14-16 Stone / 88-101kg	Medium
16-18 Stone / 101-114kg	Medium to Soft
18 Stone / 114kg Plus	Please call for advice

This will also act as an additional comfort layer for your wife and you.

The Artisan Naturals is a completely different build of mattress with its own characteristics and benefits, and as it sits well above your budget it is quite impossible to do a direct comparison.

Comparisons should be made to like for like models - in this case your comparisons should be between latex mattresses.

The key points should be the quality and quantity of latex used in comparative models.

We would be happy to drill down any comparable specifications you find.

John and Ryan.
