HiI am looking for a new double mattress and I am so pleased at finding your website after a very disappointing visit to Benson for Beds, very limited choice and the only one I sort of liked was an igel mattress.I am hoping that you can recommend one of yours. I am 9 stone and my partner is 12.7, I can get quite warm in the night, currently have a mattress that is probably 20 years old! So not sure if prefer firm or medium I think I'm erring on the side of firm.I was looking at your Origins Pocket 1500, would this be suitable maybe with the firm option? The mattress will be going on a slatted baseAny advice would be most appreciated, thank youHelen
Hi Helen,
Thank you for your enquiry.
The first thing to say is that with your particular body weights, we would not recommend a firm spring tension/feel mattress. You are both within the medium spring tension range and the Origins Pocket 1500 has an medium tension spring and upholstery which provides an overall medium feel.
| Your bodyweight | This will feel |
|---|---|
| Under 10 Stone / 63kg | Medium |
| 10-12 Stone / 63-76kg | Medium |
| 12-14 Stone / 76-88kg | Medium |
| 14-16 Stone / 88-101kg | Medium |
| 16-18 Stone / 101-114kg | Soft to Medium |
| 18 Stone / 114kg Plus | Please call for advice |
This mattress can be placed on top of a slatted base as long as the gaps between the slats do not exceed 3". If the gaps are larger than 3" we would recommend placing a barrier between the mattress and the slats, usually thin (3-5mm) MDF. This will provide the mattress with a uniform surface upon which to sit and prevent ridging occurring as a result of the mattress dipping into the gaps between the slats. This will also make the mattress feel slightly firmer, which may suit rather than opting for the much firmer 2000 spring option.
We trust that the above is of assistance to you, but if you require any further advice or guidance, please call our office on 0161 437 4419 to speak with one of our friendly advisors.
