I have been in touch before and you advised me to try and see the vi spring tiara given my preferences. I was told at the store that the vi spring Shetland and for double tier spring, Shetland superb is now the comparable range. So, I have now seen and briefly tried both. I think both are lovely but prefer the superb. I love the springy-ness combined with soft yet supportive feel. I'm smallish, 8 st and change and am considering the Artisan Bespoke 002. I will be putting it on a slatted bed base and have seen your advice re an old duvet underneath and I also have an almost new very good mattress topper. Can you tell me is it correct that the vi spring Shetland range is the right comparison or do I need further research before purchase?
Only me in the bed by the way. Thanks >
Hi Sue,
As far as we are aware, the Vi-Spring Tiara is still available and our Artisan Bespoke 002 is a comparable mattress.
| John Ryan By Design Artisan Bespoke 002 | Vi-Spring Tiara Superb | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1200gsm Blended British Fleece Wool and Cotton | 1200gsm Blended real Shetland Isle Fleece Wool and Cotton |
| 2 | Hairproof Cambric Cover | Hairproof Cambric Cover |
| 3 | 200gsm Soft Bamboo | NA |
| 4 | 1200gsm Pure Horsetail | 1200gsm hand-teased long-stranded horsetail blended with real Shetland Isle fleece wool |
| 5 | 1000 gsm Bonded British Fleece Wool and Cotton | 1000gsm Bonded British Fleece Wool and Cotton |
| 6 | 2508 (2 tiers) Calico encased Pocket Springs [56mm] [1.40mm] | 2242 (2 tiers) Calico encased Pocket Springs [60mm] [1.42mm] |
| Total GSM | 3600gsm | 3400gsm |
We do not believe that the Shetland Superb is a comparable mattress to the Tiara as the fillings are completely different, it may be that the sales person was just after a sale if no Tiara was available.
Both the Shetland and Shetland superb are comprised mainly of wool and are unlikely to provide the support needed over a long period of use.
Please view the Artisan Bespoke 002 on our site and give our office a call on 0161 437 4419 if you have any questions.
Kind regards Mike.
