Compare Origins latex to Healthbeds

A customer asked

Hello again, I am almost ready to make a decision, but have one or two more questions, hope you don’t mind!

I am after a double mattress (and I can get the Healthbeds Paris 2300 for £695, that’s why used it as a comparison to your Origins Pocket Latex 1500). Could you explain to me the rationale behind “Having two layers of latex is fundamentally better than using one layer of 6cm depth.”?

I haven’t really seen that anywhere else… Are the 2 layers right on top of one other?

Hi again Philippe. We work on the theory that multi-layers of component is 'fundamentally better' than using one block element. We think when your bodyweight fully compresses the top layer, the second layer should instantly become utilised, and then the third layer and so on until the main spring unit takes the strain. This is known as progressive support and a build method we favour. Bearing in mind that both layers of latex we use is the same 60/40 mix it may NOT have any progressive support qualities whatsoever, but we stick to our multi layer ethos - ?

We don't have access to factual data like this and so we would be incredibly interested to hear from people who could shed any light on this multi layer - same density theory. .

This is known as progressive support and a build method we favour. I would recommend the Origins Pocket Latex mattress from our range.

Your bodyweight This will feel
Under 10 Stone / 63kg Very Firm
10-12 Stone / 63-76kg Firm to Medium
12-14 Stone / 76-88kg Medium to Firm
14-16 Stone / 88-101kg Medium
16-18 Stone / 101-114kg Medium to Soft
18 Stone / 114kg Plus Please call for advice
