Hi Rob,

The Sealy Rosebury is a latex topped pocket sprung mattress but as discussed numerous times throughout the John Ryan Sites Latex can be a minefield, it's all about the blend, density and manufacture method.

Without going into to much detail on the ins and outs of I'll discuss specifically the Rosebury.

If you want to find out more about latex please visit John Ryan's Latex topic here.

The Rosebury is a firm one sided mattress which would make it suitable for your weights if you like a firmer mattress which your trial of the Rosebury suggests.

In relation to the spring count it's not as simple as 'the higher the springs the better the mattress''.

It depends on the gauge the type of coil and tension of the springs.

Unfortunately the Sealy Rosebury doesn't give you these details or the type of Latex used.

The advice we always give is that you need to know the specifics of the components of any shop bought mattress.

If you struggle to get answers or details we ask you to scrutinise this.

You need to know the details not only to compare but by principle you should be able find out exactly what your buying.

We always provide all the details on our components and manufacture methods.

Many thanks for you query Rob and we hope that helps!

Kind Regards Gary
