Hi Andrea,

 

Thanks for your question.

 

We tend to describe any particular mattress as the "best" as it's very subjective; It is very much all about what you want from the mattress.

 

Every pocket sprung mattress has 2 elements to it; You have the spring tension determined by body weight and then the fillings that sit atop those springs acting as the comfort layer.

 

At your body weight we would match you with a Medium spring tension to get the right support;

 

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)

 

From you disclosure that you prefer a soft feel this would narrow it down to the Artisan Luxury. This model is the softest one that we retail and gives that luxurious sink in sensation in the top layer.

 

 

The Artisan Bespoke 004 is very much a true medium feeling model in the top layers providing a slight sink in sensation into the top layer but not too much.

 

Please see below for the full breakdown of both models;

We'd always advise not to use a topper straight away but rather a Mattress Protector. If after 4-6 weeks you're finding the mattress too firm as this will introduce an additional comfort layer.
