Best bed for a bony 80+ year old.

Hi Geoff,

Thank you for your question.

There are many different factors that affect the cost of each different mattress, it is not just the total GSM count but also as you mentioned the overall spring count and the different layers of upholstery that is used to construct the mattress.

The Artisan Luxury is the softest feel mattress in the Artisan Range. This is one of the best completely 100% natural component arrangements you can possibly get. Substantially well upholstered (4600 GSM) utilising horsehair and Wool in a sandwich layout topped off with a blended wool and cotton primary layer. The fact that your current Herdysleep mattress is causing aches and pains in your pressure points suggests that it is much too firm for you in the comfort layers, you will not find this with the Luxury.

The Artisan Luxury contains layers of pure wool and cotton to provide a softer comfort but also contains layers of Horsehair and Horsetail to give the mattress a more robust structure and prevent the mattress from dipping and sagging.

At your body weight you would springs-with-pocket-springs/" class="" >need to opt for a medium spring tension for the correct support.

The Artisan Luxury costs £1570 for a Double mattress.

I hope this information helps, if you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact the office on 0161 437 4419.

Kind regards,
Amy.
