20 stone and 12 stone side sleepers - zip and link options?

Hi,
My husband is 20 stone and I am 12 stone. We are both side sleepers, but do not have issues with heat. We are looking for recommendations based on which zip and link mattresses are suitable for us? We would also be interested in an accompanying mattress-topper so the zip part of the mattress is less noticeable.
Happy for any recommendations you may have.
Many thanks
Ellie
Hi Ellie,
Thanks for your question about zip and link mattresses.
With your weight difference, you are going to need a medium and firm spring tension split. This will offer the correct level of support to each of you. There's a bit more on spring tensions in the guide below to help explain.
It would be helpful to know what 'feel' you're looking for from your mattress and also a budget but I can give a couple of suggestions to assist.
| 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) |
If you're looking for a medium feel mattress in a zip and link then have a look at:
Origins 1500 - Medium / Firm Split
Artisan 1500 - Medium / Firm Split
If you're looking for a firm feel mattress in a zip and link then have a look at:
Artisan Bespoke - Medium /Firm spring tension
Toppers for mattresses
Whilst toppers can help increase the overall comfort of your mattress we always advise trying your new mattress first. Toppers will only ever soften the top layer of a mattress. So most people find they don't need one. As for the zips in a zip and link mattress, they are recessed so you shouldn't feel them. Also, most people don't sleep in the very centre of the bed so you won't be lying directly on top of it either.
We hope that helps and if you have any further questions please get back in touch on 0161 437 4419
