What should I replace a Relyon Pocket Sprung mattress with?

Hi
We have a Relyon 'Country Pockets' pocket sprung mattress 27.5 years old with a sprung divan base. The mattress has 'spread' (ie got longer and thinner) over the years but is still very comfortable but my husband wants a new one! He is about 15.5 stone and I'm about 10.5 stone. We don't want a really firm mattress but medium or maybe medium soft (for him!). We're not keen to spend more than £500 but would if really necessary. I find the range of mattress types available on the internet very confusing but I am inclined to stick with a pocket sprung - I just don't know what manufacturers to trust (if any!) and how many springs is enough! Do you think one of your Origins mattresses would be suitable? I don't know what our current mattress is made of but I doubt that it's natural fibres and since we've been happy with it, I'm not inclined to change. I'd be grateful for your advice.

Hi Carolyn,
Thanks for your question.
At your body weights you would both be matched with a Medium spring tension to get the right level of support.
| 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) |
Every pocket sprung mattress has 2 elements to it; The spring tension determined solely by body weight and then the fillings that sit atop those springs providing the comfort.
Given that you disclose your budget as well as preferred feel I'd guide you to our Origins Comfort 1000 or Origins Pocket 1500.
The Comfort 1000 is the softest model within that range giving the most sink into that top layer as possible. The Origins Pocket 1500 is more a true medium in that top layer providing a slight sink but not too much.
