Hi Gary,
Thanks for answering my previous question. I am still a bit confused about what bed is best to go for. I found your article on why you should choose a bed based on content rather than showroom feel very interesting but I am struggling to choose between one which felt better in the few minutes I lay on it and one which I am wondering if the content is better. I am 9 stone and like a softer feel and sleep on my side.

The two I am trying to choose between are Hypnos Willow Sublime which is upholstered with layers of 2,800gsm Wool, 500gsm Wool & Silk blend and 2,000gsm Alpaca - £1400 for king, medium tension and Hypnos Maple suburb upholstered with layers of 2,800gsm Wool, 800gsm Wool & Cashmere blend and 2,000gsm Horsetail - £1200 for king, medium tension

The willow was softer and felt better in the few minutes I lay on it in the shop but I am wondering if longer-term the maple would be better. You seem to rate horsetail as a material, is it superior to alpaca and more resistant to sagging? I am surprised at the low price of the horsetail one and am wondering about getting this one and then adding a topper if it is a bit hard.

What do you think?

Thanks again for your excellent site and advice
