Buying a new bed but which one?

I want to purchase a king size double bed. I have laid on and tried Vi-spring, Hypnos and Millbrook Boutique 3000. Have been advised at Furniture Village that the Millbrook is the equivalent quality to cheapest Vi-spring. My husband prefers a medium support where I am comfortable with soft . Husbands weight is 13 stone and mine is 10. I want a natural fill mattress. There is so much choice and would appreciate any advice.
Thank you.

Hi Hazel,

Thank you for your question.

I find it astonishing that a sales adviser at Furniture Village can assert that the Millbrook is equivalent quality to the cheapest Vi-Spring, when neither company disclose full details of their construction or upholstery in terms of GSM (grams per square metre). It may be that they are aware of your budget and wish to secure the sale of the Millbrook product.

Before making any decisions regarding the purchase of any mattress, you should seek clarification of the construction and upholstery in order for you to make an informed decision.

I would also suggest that you view the products in our Artisan range and in particular, the Artisan Naturals, Artisan Bespoke 004 both of which contain natural upholstery layers as detailed in the description of each and are competitively price in comparison to Vi-Spring products.  Both of these mattresses would give a medium comfort layer and I would recommend that you both have a medium spring tension which will give you the correct support for your body weights.

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 trust that this helps, but if you require any further advice or guidance, please do not hesitate to call our office on 0161 437 4419.

Kind regards Julie
