We have a 15 year old John Lewis mattress. It is so comfy however showings it’s age and we are looking for a new mattress. We are both side sleepers and I weigh 8.5 stone and my husband is around 14. We tend to like soft medium tension having been to Benson for Beds and also a Harrison Spinks and Somnus retailer. We read awful reviews for Harrison and John Lewis was our next stop but a lot of their beds are Harrson. Help! Minefield!
Hi Catriona,
Thank you for your question.
We have two different ranges of pocket sprung mattresses, The Origins range is synthetic fibres and The Artisan range is natural fibres.
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.
The Origins Pocket range should be the most you pay for a polyester based mattress. If this falls within your maximum budget you can rest assured that there is not much more out there that compares.
| John Ryan By Design Origins 1500 | |
|---|---|
| 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 Naturals is our most popular, unbeatable model with 85% natural fibres. Containing a huge GSM of fillings, including wool and mohair, on a Calico springs/" title="pocket spring">pocket spring unit. This medium feel hand crafted mattress is where we stake our reputation as ‘The Mattress Specialists’.
This is priced particularly low in comparison to more established brands in order for us to set the bar in comparing branded mattresses with similar components. If this is in the region of your maximum budget then you will be getting the best mattress you can buy. Please see below a comparison to the Vi Spring Regal Superb;

| Total GSM | 3950gsm | 3100gsm |
The mattresses in this range can be paired with either a soft, medium or firm spring tension to support your body weight. The body weights you have provided dictate that you should opt for a dual tension of soft for yourself and medium for your husband. Dual tensions are available in King Size upwards.
I hope this information helps, if you have any further questions please give the office a call on 0161 437 4419.
Kind regards,
