Hi Carol,

Thanks for getting in touch.

You’re looking for an Extra-king zip and link mattress to achieve that size. You would need to look at our John Ryan By Design springs/" title="pocket spring">pocket spring mattresses.

Now based on your weights, you at 10 stone are on the boundary between a soft or a medium spring and your partner is on the cusp of a medium or firm spring. It depends what kind of tension you both prefer.

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)

It could be a matching medium is best but we’d need to speak to you ideally to find this out. We would also need to know what base it is going on as a slatted base will make the artisans feel firmer than say a sprung edge base.

Out of the range, the Artisan 1500 would be the model that allows dual tensions and is in the top end of your price point at £1125 for the two mattresses without bases.

There's no models within your budget beneath this I’m afraid. If you can give us a call Carol to discuss further then we can provide some more tailored advice.
