Hi Anna,

 

Thanks for your question.

 

We would need to know some further information in order to discuss suitable models;

 

We would need to know body weights, sleeping habits and preferred feel in the top layers as all these do factor in to a purchase.

 

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)

 

The Vi-Spring Gatcombe is now discontinued but close to the Vi-Spring Shetland, which is a soft mattress. As such this is comparable with our own Artisan Luxury. The Luxury is our softest mattress in that top layer and now compares with the Vi-Spring Devonshire.

 

The Artisan Luxury is constructed with 100% natural fillings; The full breakdown of it's components are below;

 

	John Ryan By Design Artisan Luxury	Vi-Spring Devonshire
1	1200 GSM British Fleece Wool and Cotton	600gsm British Fleece Wool
2	Hairproof Cambric Cover	1700gsm Devonshire Fleece Wool
3	1200gsm Pure Horsehair	NA
4	500gsm Pure Wool	NA
5	1200gsm Pure Horsetail	NA
6	500gsm Pure Wool	300gsm Bonded British Fleece Wool and Cotton
7	1476 Calico encased Pocket Springs [51mm] [1.42mm]	1326 Calico encased Pocket Springs [54mm] [1.52mm]
Total GSM	4600gsm	2600gsm

 

The base the mattress goes on to can make a difference to the feel; A sprung base will give the mattress a slightly softer feel whereas a solid platform top base or slatted base will give the mattress a slightly firmer feel.

 

 

I hope this has answered your questions fully but if you do have any further queries please don't hesitate to contact our office on 0161 437 4419.

 

Kind Regards, Lee.
