Vi Spring and John Lewis?

We have just bought a Superking wrought iron metal bed from the Wrought Iron and Brass Bed company (hand made in Norfolk).
The bed comes with solid slats (3" - 4" apart) but we have also bought a solid unsprung bed base from them which will sit on the slats, and hopefully provide a flat base upon which to place our mattress.
We don't mind that it will make the bed higher as the head and foot sections are quite high anyway.
We prefer pocket sprung mattresses and have been looking at Vi Spring and the John Lewis Naturals range (Spink & Edgar).
My husband is 6'1" (14 stone) and I am 5'5" (nine and a half stone).
We both prefer a medium support mattress, as opposed to firm.
We are wondering about a zip and link (to get mattress up the stairs) plus a topper.
Would you have any advice for us about the best make and type of pocket sprung mattress to place on an unsprung bed base within our budget of £2000.
Can I also add that this website is so informative, and refreshingly honest.
Many thanks for your help Helen >
Hi Helen,
As you are probably aware, the platform top base that you intend to place the new mattress on will make any mattress feel firmer than if placed on sprung slats or a sprung base.
We do make some mattresses, which are comparable to some of the Vi-Spring range :- Artisan Naturals & Artisan Bespoke 004 (Vi-Spring Regal Superb), Artisan Luxury (Vi-Spring Herald Superb), Artisan Bespoke (Vi-Spring Chatsworth) and the Artisan Bespoke 002 (Vi-Spring Tiara). If you have tried any of these Vi-Spring mattresses and have a preference, please view the equivalent on our site.
With any of our Artisan range, from King size upwards, you can have a Zip and Link with a split tension to suit your different body weights. All of our products are suitable for either slatted bases or platform top bases, with our Origins Latex 1500 being more suited to a sprung top base.
The John Lewis Natural Collection is made exclusively for them by Harrisons and they do not disclose the internal build specifications, making a comparison impossible.You may wish to try the various Vi-Spring mattresses to find the one that suits and at that point I would suggest that you contact Marie at our office to discuss the appropriate comparable.
I trust that this helps, kind regards Mike.
