A customer asked

Hi, Firstly let me congratulate you on such a wonderful and informative website. Its really opened my eyes up to the world of beds!!

I am 22st and my wife is 8st. We have recently bought a house and are in the process of searching for a new bed. Would you be able to advise on the best way to get around such a large weight differential and what we should look for?

We have a budget of around £1000 - £2500 so the choice may be small. We looked at a Kingsize relyon indulgence mattress with 2200 springs and a Kingsize vi-spring elite 1254 spring. Would one of your Artisan Bespoke 002 beds be up to the task?

thanks Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,

 

Thank you for your enquiry on our website.  The question that we get asked a lot about is varying weights and mattresses!  With the body weights you have supplied, you would be paired with a  firm spring tension whilst your wife requires a soft spring to give you both the correct level of support.  This is achievable the zip and link option, available in King Size and above and can only be done in our Pocket Sprung ranges (Origins and Artisan).  Zip and Link’s are ideal when there is a weight difference and one spring tension will not cover both sleeping partners, where access into the room of your choice is restricted and where one user tends to disturb the other.

 

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 Artisan Bespoke 002 has two rows of springs which creates more bounce.  This has been reduced in the Artisan 003 with coir coconut fibre.  With the correct spring tension, the upholstery is dictated by personal preferences and sleeping habits although any model you chose will feel softer in the comfort layers for yourself as a heavier sleeper.

I hope this assists but please do not hesitate to contact the office on 0161 437 4419 should you require any further information or would like to discuss the suitability of any of our mattresses.  Our office hours are 8 am – 8 pm Monday to Friday and 10 am – 4 pm Saturday and Sunday.

Kind Regards

Michaela
