Advice on Harrisons Turqoise 4000 mattress

Hello, Looking at a Harrison Turquoise 4000 (1000 of which are in base which we don't want as we've a new quality sprung slat base already).. so of the 3000 spring count we've got 'spring in spring' (SIS) and some HD mini springs laid on top (and bottom as it's a turnable bed). Accoring to the Spinks Springs page there are equivalent of 2000 HD springs in a King size sheet (they are just selling the components).. If there are 2000 springs then that's 4000 before we've even done the sis's.. So in short, just how many springs are there (not counting SIS as doubles) or is the 3000 count an equivalent of how it feels.. confused!!

Hi James,
Thank you for your question.
This is the official description of the mattress you are looking at :-
- With a total of 4000 pocket springs, 3000 Revolution and HD system in the mattress and 1000 pocket springs in the True Edge base, the Turquoise is designed to contour naturally with the curves of the body.
- A rich blend of wool, cotton and mohair together with a layer of natural Hempure makes this bed so comfortable.
- Thoughtfully arranged, with a wool blend to form a warm for winter side and the crispness of natural cotton on the cool for summer side.
- Finished with double side stitching which prevents you from rolling out of bed and the mattress sides collapsing, four handles to assist with turning and vents to allow the mattress to breathe.
- Finished with double side stitching four handles vents.
We would need to know the breakdown of the springs together with the GSM of the upholstery used on both the winter side and the summer side and also as to whether the mattress is side stitched or hand side stitched.
Unfortunately, Harrison's along with many other mattress manufacturers, fail to tell you this relevant information. Most of the bed manufacturers do base their spring count on a Kingsize mattress and the maximum springs you can put into a Kingsize mattress is 2000.
When looking at any mattress, the only numbers you should be interested in is GSM [ Grams per Square Meter ] of Upholstery, then look at the spring system.
| 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 |
I hope the above is of assistance to you but please do not hesitate to contact the office should you require further clarification or information on 0161 437 4419.
Kind regards Julie
