Hi Ross,

You're probably right that it is firmer.  We do not have a softer version of this as to be honest, there hasn't been a market for one.

That said you may have stumbled across a niche for one!

Most people that want a soft but supportive latex mattress opt for our Fusion 3.   This is primarily because its a fully turnable solid core latex mattress.

It's personal preference whether you want a spring unit or solid core latex.  One of the benefits is that a solid core can be turned and latex itself is incredibly robust and durable whereas a pocket sprung latex topped mattress can't be fully turned only rotated.

A solid core naturally accommodates two different weighted sleepers and gives enough sink before providing support.

I sometimes explain the benefit to customers that its one solid piece of high grade latex so there are less components to ever go wrong.

No high quality mattress should however fail but sometimes the analogy of it only having one quality component helps people who maybe haven't thought of a solid core latex mattress.

They are very rare to find on the high street, some manufactures will promote the pocket sprung kind as it means they can slip in the most meagre latex layers in thus saving money whilst still commanding a high price tag.

I do feel the public is missing out by not having access to high quality solid latex core mattresses, they are frequently used in Sweden and Germany as the standard bench mark for quality pressure relieving mattresses.

I can however understand why you want to replicate what you've already had as its familiar which does make sense.

If you are certain you want a soft pocket sprung unit I would advise choosing a pocket sprung base, and may be a John Ryan Origins Comfort 1000 which is our softest mattress in that range and then pairing it with a medium Latex topper like our John Ryan Contemporary range.

This would give you soft but supportive.

It would be a some what bespoke offering but think it may get you closer to the pocket sprung bed you're familiar with.

I hope this assists but please feel free to call our office on 0161 437 4419 for further advice/guidance.

Kind regards Julie
