1500 Artisan vs 1500 latex

Hi,
I'm interested in knowing what's the difference in feel between the 1500 Artisan and the 1500 latex. I'm 13 stones and need a double. I tend to like medium/firm beds and I'm a stomach sleeper, but I normally like the feeling of memory foam (hence why I thought the latex may be a better choice). I tried the IconSolution 3000, the Sensaform 6000, Flaxby 3000 medium or the Ortho 1800 (in John Lewis) and like how they feel (I know they are different).
I'm trying to decide whether the 1500 artisan the latex or the origin would be the best choice? I'm also planning to add an ottoman bed (I don't see the option under the mattress and I assume I'll have to add it to the basket separately)?
Thank you,
M

Hi Matthew

Thanks for your enquiry.

The difference between the Origins Latex and the Artisan 1500 is the comfort sensation they create, the Artisan 1500 being fibre filled with a cushioning sensation, and the Origins Pocket Latex having a more moulding to your body shape sensation. Please see our information on Latex mattresses here.

John Ryan By Design Origins Latex
1 300 gsm Wool Silk blend pad
2 3cm Talalay Latex (60/40% blend) 70kg Density
3 3cm Talalay Latex (60/40% blend) 70kg Density
4 One inch HD Foam
5 1500 Spun Bond Pocket Springs

John Ryan By Design Artisan 1500
1 500gsm Wool
2 600gsm Rebound Poly Cotton (50/50)
3 700gsm Polyester
4 600gsm: Rebound Poly Cotton (50/50)
5 700gsm Polyester
6 1200 gsm Cashmere Hair Pad as Insulator
7 1500 Spun Bond Pocket Springs (Soft/Med or Firm)
Total GSM 4300gsm

From the information in your enquiry of how you like your mattress to feel medium/firm, and that you like the feeling of memory foam, we would guide you more towards the Origins Pocket Latex, to give you that support feel, and that similar moulding sensation to memory foam, but with the added benefits of latex,  being less heat retentive, and more responsive to movement.

You are quite correct, you would need to add the Ottoman base, from the base section on the website.

If you require any further assistance please call the office on 0161 437 4419

Regards Gary
