Give or take a couple of hundred pounds, the mattresses are on a similar price point. Although, it would appear we are getting a massive discount and perhaps better value with the Laura Ashley mattress. However, from reading your blog/guides, we are slightly concerned LA do not provide a breakdown of the composition of the mattress. The blurb is a bit vague. Can you throw any light on this? Also, can you confirm the delivery timescales if were are to go ahead?
Hi Laura
Thanks for your question.
After having a look at the Laura Ashley mattress and its components and construction, the closest model in our range would be the Artisan Bespoke 002 mattress, having a dual layer of springs and being filled with 100% natural fibres.

| Total GSM | 3600gsm | 3400gsm |
I can't really comment if the Laura Ashley mattress will feel the same comfort wise, we describe the Artisan Bespoke 002 as a medium feel in the upholstery layers i.e not too soft or too firm.
The Artisan Naturals you mention has the same medium feel, but it is 85% natural fillings, not 100%, and has a single layer of pocket springs, which will give a firmer support level in whichever tension you choose, than a dual layer of springs.
