Hi Nickie,

 

Thanks for your question.

 

From what I can see regarding Mirapocket springs these seem to be quite similar to HD springs in that they are smaller than normal springs. We, ourselves, wouldn't really recommend these as normal pocket springs, being longer, are considered to be more supportive.

With the Silentnight mattress the Miracoil springs are sitting beneath further springs that we'd advise logically would be less supportive and more bouncy and springy.

 

What we tend to find here is that a lot of companies use spring count as a marketing ploy to get people believing that the higher the spring count the better. This simply isn't the case and we advise it's more about the fillings as this gives you the comfort.

 

With the Rest Assured model titled Ortho we find that these mattresses are very firm in the feel and we don't construct anything similar to this. The choice will be ultimately down to you as comfort and sleep is very personal so this falls down to what you want from the mattress.

 

We'd always advise that pocket springs are the "better" option as these give you the support and you then have the fillings that give you the comfort.

 

 

As such, with ourselves I'd recommend to have a look at our Artisan Bespoke 002 and Artisan Bespoke.

 

The Bespoke 002 is constructed using a dual layered spring system that gives the mattress a very springy and bouncy sensation. This model is one that we compare with the Vi-Spring Tiara that can be found in stores such as Furniture Village, Harrods, House of Fraser or And So To Bed.

The Bespoke is our firmest mattress in the comfort layers that gives no sort of sink in sensation whatsoever. This model compares with the Vi-Spring Herald that can be found in those same stores.

We would always advocate testing the comparison models beforehand to get an indication of what the mattress is going to feel like as we are an online only retailer and we have no showroom of our own. However, this is the main reason we offer our standard 60 day love it or return it guarantee; This is a no quibble policy meaning that the item can't be sent back for a refund if it simply isn't right or you can utilise the one time exchange.

 

I hope this has answered your questions fully but if you do have any further queries please don't hesitate to contact our office on 0161 437 4419. Our office is open Monday to Friday 8am to 8pm and Saturday and Sunday 10am to 4pm.

 

Kind Regards, Lee.
