Hi Bob,

 

Thanks for your question.

 

When considering memory foam products the trick is to do like for like comparisons - and with Memory Foam this is so incredibly easy. The last thing you should be doing is purchasing by Brand.

 

Taking the two models above as an example, they really cannot be used as comparable models - Hestia is 2000 pocket springs with 70mm of memory Foam.

 

The Tempur (although you haven't supplied an actual model name) is likely to be a memory foam on high density foam base.

 

In order to do comparisons to Tempur, I would look at the ergoflex website.

 

Tempur (Original:) utilises 2cm Soft Memory Foam and 7cm of firmer Memory Foam totalling 9cm on an 11cm foundation. This has a RRP of around £2000 KS: Feb 2013. [DISCLAIMER - Tempur do not refer to their material as Memory Foam - they refer to it as a 'Tempur Layer' or 'Pressure Relieving Material'. For the ease of answering these comments I will refer to it as Memory Foam but come to your own judgement / conclusions as to why they choose to do this]

 

When doing your comparisons you have to know the density of the memory foam you are comparing against.

 

Tempur, as an example, used to describe it as 85kg/m3 - but now after looking briefly through their site I see that densities for a given layer is no longer given.

 

As for ourselves, our Hybrid range is comparable to Tempur and will give a similar feel overall. Our Hybrid 5 is the firmer of the 2 models and the Hybrid 4 is slightly softer.

 

Alternatively, something like our Origins Pocket Reflex 1000 might be a good option. This will give you support from the springs inside and it then has a Reflex Foam top layer giving that slightly more supportive feel. We would need to know your body weights to ensure that the medium spring tension is suited to you both;

 

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)

 

 

I hope this helps but as always if you have any further queries please don't hesitate to contact our office on 0161 437 4419.

 

Kind Regards, John and Ryan.
