We like the feel of Dreams TheraPur Vitality Mattress - in a Medium mattress tension. Could you recommend one of yours please? Budget is £1000 ish. Do you do ottoman bases I'm looking for a super king size?

Hi Terry,

Thanks for your question.

We do not make a comparison to the TheraPur Vitality as this is a "pillow top" mattress and is only one-sided. In addition, the published details of the upholstery layers are too general for any comparison to be made in that aside from the 8cm of Actigel/Actilite material and the microfibre top, there are no other upholstery levels specified. In terms of a similar feel mattress then please look at our Origins 1500 model which is 2 sided.

Origins Pocket 1500 Mattress

1: 300GSM WOOL

2: 750GSM VERY SOFT POLYESTER

3: 500GSM POLYESTER PAD

4: ONE INCH FOAM INSULATOR LAYER

5: 1500 SPUN BOND POCKET SPRINGS

TOTAL: 1550GSM

DEPTH: 30-33CM

Why we would advise against pillowtop mattresses

I would strongly advise against the purchase of a pillow top mattress because once the top flattens, which it will do with constant use, the whole mattress will need replacing, whereas, with a separate topper, it is only the topper that needs to be replaced. Furthermore, one-sided mattresses tend not to last as long as double-sided ones as they can only be rotated to change the sleeping area as opposed to turning and rotating with a double sided mattress. 

I note that you have a budget of around £1000, but it is not clear whether that is just for the mattress or for the mattress and base, as you refer to an ottoman base. The super kingsize ottoman base retails at £635. Please see the following link to our base ranges.

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.

Please view the products in our Origins range and in particular, the Origins Pocket Reflex 1000 or the Origins Pocket 1500 and then call our office on 0161 437 4419 to provide your body weight(s), preferred feel and to confirm whether the budget specified includes the base at present.
