Good afternoon, having recently stayed with friends and been impressed with the mattress on which we slept, my wife and I have been looking for a Simmons Impressions Justice mattress. I understand that this particular model has been discontinued but that Simmons are still manufacturing mattresses. Would you be able to advise us on a suitably similar alternative please?
Hi Greg,
Thanks for your question.
As that is a now discontinued model it has been hard to find specific information about the construction. We struggle comparing with a lot of retailers as most don't disclose how they construct so we subsequently have nothing to gauge it off.
The Simmons range in general tend to be constructed with pocket springs but then they branch off with some having gel, some having memory foam etc.
With ourselves we have 2 pocket sprung ranges; Origins and Artisan. The main difference between the 2 is that the Artisan range is constructed with natural fillings that provide a cool sleep surface.
We would need to know your body weights as well preferred feel in the top layers and sleeping habits in order to discuss suitable models.
However, please see below for some guidelines to work off;
The Artisan Luxury is the softest mattress in the top layers;
