Hi guys, Firstly, your website is fantastic and really informative, so thankyou for that. Hopefully you can give me some guidance. I am looking for a single mattress, I weigh between 8.5 and 9 stone and tend to sleep on my side. I am wondering whether to get the Origins Comfort, or pay a bit more and go for the Artisan Tailored Pocket. Would the Artisan be suitable for me do you think, or would it be very firm?

Not that i want an especially soft mattress, but I want there to be some "give" in it. Look forward to hearing from you. .

Hi Sharon.

I really would point you towards The Origins Comfort rather than anything else. For your light bodyweight, it has the support and comfort.

Although the Artisan range is better constructed I feel you will be paying out unnecessarily for components you don't actually need or require.

Recently, a reader posed an interesting question in relation to our Bespoke mattress which contains over 5 kg of upholstery per square meter.

She questioned whether you can have too much upholstery in a mattress.

And of course, the answer is yes - if your bodyweight is so light it inhibits any movement of the spring support.

For people of a light bodyweight such as yours, the support becomes secondary to the comfort layers.

It really does not follow that the more you pay for a mattress equates to the best choice for you.

It has to be said that this is just guidance.

Just because you are of a light frame does not mean that you are confined to a polyester mattress.

If your budget allows, you do have an option of a soft calico spring support (soft will be in the margins of 1.24mm - 1.30mm gauge wire) and if the upholstery is cotton and wool based this will give you a perfect mattress.

Unfortunately we do not have a model with this build on our site yet but it would be worth your while checking out the Vi Spring [Soft tension] Traditional Bedstead mattress (not overly expensive) as a benchmark for your comparisons.

Thanks for the response John and Ryan.

I have taken your advice and ordered the Origins Comfort.

Looking forward to getting it!

Good choice.

You will not be disappointed.

Please remember to leave some feedback (good or bad !!) after you give it a fair trial.
