Hello. We live in France and would like to buy a king size mattress that would correspond to what you offer.
Firstly I don't know if you have an agent in France and if you don't then can you recommend a brand to look for?
My husband and I are in our late 60s , my husband is 6ft tall and I am 5ft5. We are not overweight and we would like to buy a firm mattress with a price range of around £650?
Here in France they don't seem to use more than 850 pocket springs and only use latex as a top layer rather than layers of wool or other natural materials. Your advice would be appreciated.
Hi Michelle,
Many thanks for your question about comparative mattresses in France. We will give you as much information as possible to help you find a similar quality product to our hand made mattress range.
Why we don't sell via retailers or agents:
We don't sell through agents or retailers and never have. This is for two reasons.
Firstly, it significantly increases the mark up we would have to make on our hand made mattresses. We prefer to be both high quality and good value.
Secondly, the retailers often lack mattress construction expertise which our team have. This is why we have always been proud to be one of the first pioneers of online hand made mattress makers. We have a 99% success rate based on our detailed advice service for customers. This is backed up by our no-quibble 60 day love it or return it guarantee.
John Ryan Mattresses Internationally:
We do however sell and have our mattresses shipped all over the world. We can deliver our mattresses to any destination or port in the UK. Our international customers then arrange with a courier or delivery team to then transport the mattress to their address either in Europe, the USA or elsewhere in the world. A testament to the quality and value of our range compared to other mattress retailers/manufacturers.
Comparative mattresses to John Ryan By Design:
If you want to know which mattresses compare to our models at around the £650 price tag for a super king mattress then these two articles may help.
-What to expect from a £500 mattress
- What to expect from a £750 mattress
The best option for a firmer feel would be our Origins Pocket Reflex 1000 mattress. This is a two-sided firmer feel mattress which would be ideal for your heights and weights.
What mattress can I get for £650?
| How much to spend on a double mattress? | What can I expect for my money? |
|---|---|
| Under £500 | Will not get you much at best a 13.5 gauge open coil/cage sprung with a thin polyester layer or a solid foam mattress. |
| £500 | Entry level spunbond springs with some form of synthetic upholstery. Usually one sided mattresses. |
| £750 | The beginnings of a basic pocket springs unit with 800 – 1000 count. No substantial amount of filling other than foams and synthetic materials. Two sided models. |
| £1000 | Should get you away from most low ranges and into the mid-range pocket spring models. |
| £1250 | Should get you a decent pocket sprung mattress with some Natural Fibre content. |
| £1500 | Should get you many manufacturers mid-range models with Natural Fibres |
| £1500-£2000 | Should get you a Hand Made primarily Natural Fibre Quality Mattress |
| £2000+ | You should expect 100% Natural Fibres and Traditional Hand Made Construction Method. |
| £5000+ | A Bespoke Hand Made Sleep System, High-end Spring Units & Featuring the Worlds Most Luxurious Natural Fibres. |
At £650 you're not going to be able to get natural fibres or natural latex at that price point. We have tried a number of French Latex topper mattresses like the one you describe. However, due to the manufacturing method, these are always one-sided meaning you can't turn them. Have a look at our Origins Pocket latex 1500 for a comparative model to these French-style spring and latex foam mattresses.
We hope that helps and if you need any more information on our mattresses then please drop us an email on info@localhost.
Sleep Well.
John & Ryan
