Looking to buy a super King zip and link mattress. I am 10.5 stone, my husband is 15.5-16 stone. Both 6 foot tall.
Our current bed is a king sized zip and link Hypnos Heritage Duchess.
we would buy a mixed medium/firm tension mattress from you. Maybe slightly above what we need from your charts but by preference.
Trouble is our current mattress is mixed firm/extra firm and we both find our respective sides too soft!
I did speak to Lee on the phone last week and have had a look on your website and narrowed it down to the Artisan 1500 or Artisan Bespoke although there is a large difference in price between the two.
I would obviously prefer the cheaper oprion but and I am worried my husband in particular would find it too soft, even in the firm tension and would go back to his current habit of retreating to the spare room where we have a double with a mattress which for me is like sleeping on the floor!
The draw of the bespoke is that it's billed as a firmer mattress.
I guess what I am asking is how much of a difference is there given that it costs nearly £1000 extra?
Also would using a contemporary base rather than a sprung base make a difference to the 1500?
I would want to use a mattress topper to protect it and have found one with John Lewis which is wool and billed as ' orthopaedic' which would probably appease my other half and provide me with some 'give' as I have gammy runners hips.
Perhaps we are destined to need separate beds like my Grandparents use to!?
I hope not. Please help,
