I am 11 st. 4, on a currently rather firm, very old mattress. I want something medium/soft.

Hi Iain,
 
Thank you for your question.
 
Your body weight dictates that you should opt for a medium spring tension.
 

Spring Tension Wire diameter (Gauge) Weight Range
Soft 1.2mm Bespoke Tension (Please Call)
Medium 1.4mm Upto 16 stone
Firm 1.6mm 16 stone plus
Extra Firm / Orthopaedic 1.9mm 20 stone plus


 
The Origins Pocket 1500 is our best selling made in the UK man made and natural fibre mattress. Offering a quality 1500 pocket-spring unit and layers of fillings for a medium overall feeling. Unbeatable value given its quality.

1 300gsm Wool
2 750gsm Very Soft Polyester
3 500gsm Polyester Pad
4 One Inch Foam Insulator Layer
5 1500 Spun Bond Pocket Springs


 
The Artisan Bespoke 004 is a 100% Natural Fibre Medium feel mattress. Hand Crafted containing layer upon layer of natural fibres including Bamboo, Wool, Horsetail and British Fleece Wool. This model is slightly softer than the Artisan Naturals which we describe as the 'true medium' of the Artisan range.
The closest comparable model we can find to this Artisan Bespoke 004 is The Vi-Spring Regal Superb. There are of course a few minor differences between the two.

These are the two medium/ soft models I recommend taking a look at. 
 
If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to call the office on 0161 437 4419.
 
Kind regards,
Amy.
