Hi Eliot,
 
Thank you for your question. The Dreams Team Gold Prescot mattress you tried in the showroom is a one sided combination mattress containing pocket springs, micro HD springs and memory foam. When you try a mattress in a showroom you will not get a true representation of how the mattress will feel as many potential customers will already have softened the upholstery layers. A new mattress will always feel firmer as the upholstery layers are compacted during manufacturing and it takes you sleeping and moving around on the mattress to soften them. 
 

 
Our closest mattress to the construction is the Origins Pocket Latex 1500. This mattress is constructed with 1500 spun bonded pocket springs which will support body weights up to 16.5 stone and two layers of 3cm Talalay Latex which provides a medium to firm level of comfort depending on your body weight. 
 

 
Latex only requires pressure to be able to mould to you whereas memory foam requires both pressure and body heat which it retains and feeds it back to the sleeper. For this reason, we do not recommend memory foam.
 
I hope this helps and if you would like any further information or would like to discuss your individual needs, please do not hesitate to contact the office on 0161 437 4419.
 
Kind Regards
Michaela
