Artisan Naturals vs Hypnos Opulent Matress

Hi Hugo,

Thank you for your question. The Hypnos Bespoke Opulent mattress is described as having a firmer feel and 100% British wool. There is no option to choose a spring tension, and it is described as 'firmer support'. This implies that this mattress is only available with a firm spring tension. This would be ideal for anyone over 17 stone, however, anyone under this body weight wouldn't weigh enough to activate the springs and would not be supported correctly.

The comfort layers used in constructing a mattress determine its overall feel and comfort. The upholstery layers used in this mattress are softer fibres, which are essential in providing a plush surface that contributes to the luxurious sleeping experience described by Furniture Village, who have provided the GSM (grams per square meter) of these fibres, which is unusual these days. This information enables customers to assess the density and quality of the upholstery, ensuring they make an informed decision.

The soft comfort layers are ideal for side sleepers as they allow the shoulders and hips to sink into the upholstery, which helps to keep the spine aligned and reduces pressure on these areas. We would not recommend soft upholstery layers if you sleep on your front or back, as sinking in too much in these areas can cause lower back pain.

The Artisan Naturals has a true medium level of comfort in the 85% natural fibre upholstery layers. This level of comfort is suitable for all sleep positions, as there is cushioning in the top layers for side sleepers but more supportive layers underneath so that front and back sleepers do not sink in too much. This mattress also has vanadium-coated calico pocket springs, which are more breathable. You can select the spring tension that will provide you with the correct level of support for your height and body weight.

In summary, the Hypnos Bespoke Opulent mattress offers a luxurious cushioning feel combined with firm internal support. Conversely, the Artisan Naturals mattress provides a slightly firmer sensation in the upholstery layers while allowing for customisable support tailored to your specific needs. Your sleep positions and comfort preferences should determine which overall feel would be the most suitable and your height and body weight tell you which spring tension will provide you with the correct level of support.

I hope this helps and if you would like any further information or would like to discuss your individual needs, please do not hesitate to contact the office on 0161 437 4419.

Kind Regards
