I am looking to buy a new mattress and divan base for my husband and myself. I am 5ft 4in and weigh 7.5 stone. My husband is 5ft 5in and weighs 9.5 stone. Our current mattress is a Sealy Posturepedic Ultra Venice. We have always found this mattress satisfactory in that it has never caused us any aches or pains. However, we would both like a softer feel. More of a feeling of sinking into luxurious comfort! But not so soft that we feel unsupported. We want a pocket sprung unit base and would like the mattress to contain mainly (if not wholly) natural fibres (and definitely no memory foam) so we would be looking at your Artisan range. I'm not sure which spring tension and upholstery comfort combination would give us what we are looking for. We do not have an absolute budget limit. We want good value but are prepared to pay what it takes to get the right bed.
Hi there,
Thank you for your further enquiry.
The main considerations when advising on a new mattress is the body weights of the persons using the bed and their preferred feel. With your particular body weights, we would recommend that you ought to select a soft spring tension to give you the correct 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) |
I note that you indicate that you would like a softer, luxurious feel and natural upholstery. Please view the Artisan Luxury, which can have the spring tension selected to suit and has layers of soft upholstery providing that sinking luxurious feel required although you may find this too soft after your Posturepedic mattress. You may be best suited to a medium in the comfort layers. We would say that a sprung base like our Artisan Base will soften the overall feel of a mattress as well as help prolong the lifespan. I would recommend if you can visit a Funiture Village and try the comparable models in the Vi-Spring range this will help narrow down the model choices.
I hope that this is of help to you, but if you require any further advice, please call our office on 0333 251 9202 and speak with one of our advisors. Our office hours are 8 am – 8 pm Monday to Friday and 10 am – 4 pm Saturday and Sunday.
