Soft Vi Spring mattress

Hello again!
We discussed mattresses last spring: I am 7 stone and have arthritis in my hips; I was wanting the softest possible mattress I could buy. A friend offered me a Vi Spring/John Lewis medium tension mattress and divan, and you agreed that it was too good an offer to turn down. I've tried it for about four months, and I am finding it very hard despite having topped it with a feather duvet *and* two goose feather and down mattress toppers. I tried lying again on a Vi Spring Shetland Superb Soft divan set today, and came away in tears as it is the mattress I have been dreaming about - but I can't begin to afford it. I know you said last April that you couldn't replicate the Shetland Soft (and, for various sensible reasons, weren't convinced about the durability of an all-wool mattress) - but I don't suppose you have anything similar in the pipeline a year on?
Thanks again for all your help thus far... .
Hi Hippy,
Thanks for your question.
Whilst we don't have a direct comparison to the Shetland due to the inclusion of wool and being a soft mattress, it is in line with our Artisan Luxury.
| John Ryan By Design Artisan Luxury | Vi-Spring Devonshire | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1200 GSM British Fleece Wool and Cotton | 600gsm British Fleece Wool |
| 2 | Hairproof Cambric Cover | 1700gsm Devonshire Fleece Wool |
| 3 | 1200gsm Pure Horsehair | NA |
| 4 | 500gsm Pure Wool | NA |
| 5 | 1200gsm Pure Horsetail | NA |
| 6 | 500gsm Pure Wool | 300gsm Bonded British Fleece Wool and Cotton |
| 7 | 1476 Calico encased Pocket Springs [51mm] [1.42mm] | 1326 Calico encased Pocket Springs [54mm] [1.52mm] |
| Total GSM | 4600gsm | 2600gsm |
This is the softest mattress in the top layers that we retail providing a luxurious sink in sensation.
At your body weight you would need a Soft spring tension to get the right level of support;
| Bodyweight | Spring tension |
|---|---|
| Upto 16 Stone / 50-101kg | Medium (1.4mm) |
| 16 Stone / 101kg Upwards | Firm (1.6mm) |
| Available in Bespoke Products (Please Call) | Soft (1.2mm) |
This model compares with the Vi-Spring Devonshire that you can find in places such as Furniture Village, House of Fraser, Harrods or And So To Bed.
I hope this has answered your questions fully but if you do have any further queries please don't hesitate to contact our office on 0161 437 4419.
