A customer asked

Hello chaps, I hope you can advise me on which mattress is best. I really want to purchase one but Im a bit confused. I am looking for a superking zip and link mattress. Definitely pocket spring as my current memory foam is awful. Its for myself and my partner. He is 6 foot and weighs 12.5 stone. Im 5 foot 6" and weigh just under 9 stone. We tried a couple of mattresses at Feather and Black to see which type we preferred. There is no way we could ever afford their mattresses but thought it was a good idea to check out what sort of 'feel' we liked. I am not sure if you are familiar with their tension scoring system, but I was given a set of figures for our preferred mattress and I am now trying to find a similar and hopefully cheaper mattress on your site that match as near as possible the 'feel' we liked at F&B. I really hope that you can help.. We liked the Supaking 7000 Spring count at tension 6 which felt soft to medium i think. They range their tensions from 1-9 and at 7000 springs we liked their tension no 6. Now I realise that is a way too expensive bed for us and maybe that sort of 'feel' of bed tension will always be beyond our price range. But I am still hoping and thought it best to ask.. you never know :) Given the information I provided (and I hope its been useful and translates) are there are similar 'feel' beds you can suggest from your site?

Our budget is £700 Thanks so much Amy budget - 500 medium to soft/Pocket springs high Feather and Black fave beds Zip and link supaking 17 000 spring count tension 5 (1 to 9) Supaking 7000 Spring count an tension 6

Hi Amy,

Thank you for your question.

Firstly, I must advise that I am not familiar with the firmness ratings applied by Feather & Black and would say that these are likely to be specific to their mattresses only and may not be applied to other brands.  This makes a comparison difficult to say the least.

What I would say is that, given your body weights, a soft to medium feel mattress is likely to suit you both.  The springs in a mattress are there to support you and that support when referring to our products, is dictated by body weight.

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)

With your budget, it is unlikely that you will be able to purchase a mattress with natural upholstery layers.

Our Origins range comprises mattresses with man made fillings, although the Origins Pocket 1500 does have a 300g layer of a Wool/Silk blend and can be purchased in a Superkingsize Ziplink set, currently retailing at £820.00.  This mattress would provide you both with a medium feel support with together with a medium comfort layer on top.

If you would prefer a mattress with the correct support but which has slightly softer comfort layers, please also look at the Origins Comfort 1000

 

I trust that this helps, but if you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to call our office on 0161 437 4419.

Kind regards Julie
