Hi Adrian,

Thank you for your question.

At 13 1/2 stone you will require a medium spring tension. Your partner at 9 1/2 stone is borderline between a soft and a medium, some individuals of a sighter body weight do prefer to opt for a medium spring tension for a slightly firmer support.

The Origins Pocket Reflex 1000 is the firmer feel model in the Origins Range.  This pocket-sprung hand made mattress gives a medium support with firmer top layers; the excellent ‘all rounder’.

	Origins Reflex
1	750gsm Very soft Polyester
2	One inch reflex foam layer
3	270gsm Polyester
4	One inch reflex foam layer
5	1000 Spun Bond Pocket Springs

The Artisan 1500 is the medium to firm feel model in the Artisan range. This is a hand crafted natural and man made fibre mattress giving exceptional comfort and support for the price. This mattress simply can’t be beaten given the components and price. Tailored tensions are a standard.
