Hi I am thinking of buying an Artisan Bespoke 002 and during your comparisons you say that this is a close comparrison to the vi spring tiara - I can not reconcile this as, for example the spring count and hand stitching are different.
Surley the closer comparison would be the Stowe at RRP OF £4800 for the king size >
Hi Albert,
Thank you for your question. I have tried to find the weights and measures of the upholstery in The John Lewis Stowe (Vi-Spring) and cannot find anything to do a reasonable comparison. If you happen to know what the build of The Stowe is I would be grateful for any information.
As a side note, but more to clarify, we do not say these are like for like (identical) models. What we do say is that the Tiara Superb is quite a good comparable model to our Artisan Bespoke 002 in the way they feel. The reason we can do this is that we know precisely the build make of The Tiara Superb and doing a side by side comparison you can easily tell what the differences are and then come to your own judgement as to where and whom you spend your money.

Our Artisan Bespoke 002 is £1975 for the Kingsize and The Tiara Superb is £6075 [Furniture Village: Jul 2018]. There are three rows of Hand side Stitching on The Tiara Superb and we also have three rows of hand Side Stitching on our Artisan Bespoke 002. The spring count in our Artisan Bespoke 002 has approx 250 more than the Tiara Superb but this is so nominal it shouldn't even come into the equation.
To summarise, we retail our Artisan Bespoke for £4100 less than a comparable model (The Tiara Superb). The weights and measures comparisons are given freely and openly because we are proud of how this model is constructed.
If you would like to discuss this in detail please call our friendly team on 0161 437 4419 between 8 am and 8 pm Monday to Friday and 10 am and 4 pm Saturday and Sunday.
