Would like to buy king size mattress

I'm 17stone and my wife is 11stone. How do we go about choosing the right mattress?
Our mattress was Healthbeds memory foam medium (served us well for 10years), which was a little hot in summer, and at times I would sink through it into a bed base (my weight has ballooned)... so time to change to something more appropriate.
We still like medium feel but not sure which mattress or mattress / mattress topper to go for.
We do like concept of -Artisan Naturals- but if we buy mattress topper then I guess isn't it better to buy -Origins- with mattress topper? As my wife likes -soft feeling- of top layer of mattress. A bit puzzled ...

Hi Ruslan,

Many thanks for your enquiry.

We note that your current mattress is a memory foam one and that you are experiencing all the problems associated with such products as detailed in the link attached. We do not sell memory foam mattresses and do not, on the whole, recommend them. We also note that you prefer and medium feel but with the weight differential, you really need to look at a split spring tension, firm for you and medium for your wife, although if you intend to lose weight, you could opt for a medium tension across the whole mattress.

If the split tension is chosen, this can be made in a king size and above in the Artisan Naturals and as far as the application of a topper is concerned, we would advocate that you use the mattress for at least 28 days before deciding upon whether you need one or not. To buy one at the same time as your mattress may turn out to be an unnecessary expense.

If you were to decide not to go for the Artisan Naturals and opt for the a mattress from the Origins range, then you would need to look at a zip and link set in the Origins Pocket 1500, which you would need to have with 2000 spring version on your half and the 1500 spring version on your wife's side. This would provide you both with an overall medium feel.

Both the Artisan Naturals and the Origins Pocket 1500/2000 are best sellers in their ranges as detailed at the foot of this response. We trust that the above is of assistance to you, but if you require any further advice or guidance in respect of our products, please call our office on 0161 437 4419, kind regards.
