Hi John We are from Oxfordshire and will be moving into our new self-build house later this year, and are looking to replace our very old bed (we both have back problems, unsurprisingly!) We recently stayed at the Royal Garden Hotel in London and had a fantastic night's sleep on their lovely big bed. They kindly provided me with the specification, which I tried to type into here, but ran out of space!

However, this is an idea of what we are after: 7ft x 6ft 9in (or 7ft x 7ft) deep firm edge pocket sprung divan, with a wool and silk 2000 or 3000 pocket mattress with side stitching and FR damask. (The Royal Garden's bed had a 1400 count - will 2000/3000 be even better??) And will we need to have two separate mattresses for this size bed?

We are both tall people, and my husband weighs around 17 stone. This is a really important purchase for us, so I would be very grateful for any help you can give. I am severely deaf so don't communicate that well by phone, though can do so if you feel it is really necessary. Many thanks.
