Hi i am looking to buy a new king size divan I have looked at the IKEA hesseng firm mattress and get a base with two-foot drawers total cost would be around £800 I just wanted to know your thoughts on this and also what mattress alternatives you have the IKEA hesseng has around 600 pocket spring which seems low.
Your thoughts would be highly appreciated.

Hi Amin,
Thanks for your question.
The published details in respect of the upholstery are vague particularly in terms of the upholstery layers by way of GSM (grams per square metre).
This lack of detail makes it very difficult to provide a direct comparison to products in our ranges. I would say that in terms of it being pocket springs with a latex layer and offering a medium/firm or firm feel in its description I would say the Origins Pocket Latex 1500 or 2000 model would be quite similar.
| Your bodyweight | This will feel |
|---|---|
| Under 10 Stone / 63kg | Very Firm |
| 10-12 Stone / 63-76kg | Firm to Medium |
| 12-14 Stone / 76-88kg | Medium to Firm |
| 14-16 Stone / 88-101kg | Medium |
| 16-18 Stone / 101-114kg | Medium to Soft |
| 18 Stone / 114kg Plus | Please call for advice |

As far as the number of pocket springs is concerned, I would suggest that for a king size there should be at least 1000 in order to provide the appropriate support for 2 people someone of average body weight sleeping side by side.
In terms of what the budget you have of £800 will get you. Please have a look below at our handy guide for what to expect for your money.
| How much to spend on a double mattress? | What can I expect for my money? |
|---|---|
| Under £500 | Will not get you much at best a 13.5 gauge open coil/cage sprung with a thin polyester layer or a solid foam mattress. |
| £500 | Entry level spunbond springs with some form of synthetic upholstery. Usually one sided mattresses. |
| £750 | The beginnings of a basic pocket springs unit with 800 – 1000 count. No substantial amount of filling other than foams and synthetic materials. Two sided models. |
| £1000 | Should get you away from most low ranges and into the mid-range pocket spring models. |
| £1250 | Should get you a decent pocket sprung mattress with some Natural Fibre content. |
| £1500 | Should get you many manufacturers mid-range models with Natural Fibres |
| £1500-£2000 | Should get you a Hand Made primarily Natural Fibre Quality Mattress |
| £2000+ | You should expect 100% Natural Fibres and Traditional Hand Made Construction Method. |
| £5000+ | A Bespoke Hand Made Sleep System, High-end Spring Units & Featuring the Worlds Most Luxurious Natural Fibres. |
