Hi, Our weights are 60Kg and 80kg and a little against your advice went for an Origins Pocket 2000 with a sprung base when we purchased a bed for our spare room earlier in the year. We do use this room ourselves a few days per month and have found the Origins 2000 firm but comfortably, we both like what we call a firm bed. Now we want to buy a super king size for our main bedroom and are wondering whether to get another Origins 2000 or spend a little more and go with maybe an Artisan Naturals?
Even though we like the Origins 2000 and find it comfortably would the Artisan be even more comfortably?
Jackie, being the lighter, does complain that she gets bounced around a little with the Origins when I turn over in bed. Would the Artisan Naturals solve this problem and how would it compare for firmness with the Origins?
Thanks for a great site and product and for your help. Regards, Martin .
Hi Martin.
Thank you for your enquiry on our website.
I would most certainly say go for The Artisan Naturals or even The Artisan Tailored Pocket. The difference between this mattress and The Origins 2000 ( which is the Origins Pocket 1500 but with 2000 springs for a firmer spring for heavier people)are worlds apart. So let's have a look at these three mattresses that all are a medium in upholstery layers so have a very similar feel.
The Origins Pocket 1500 is our best selling made man-made and natural fibre mattress. Offering a quality 1500 pocket-spring unit (kingsize) and layers of fillings for a medium overall feeling with medium spring tension and medium in the comfort layers. This model comes with a 3 year guarantee.

|---|---|
| 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 Tailored Pocket 2000 has the same upholstery layers as the Artisan Naturals. In order to keep natural fillings, we could only compromise on the spring unit. In this case, we use an above average spun bond encased premium pocket spring unit over two tiers, coupled with the benefit of having a choice of three spring tensions to suit of Soft, Medium or Firm. This model comes with a 7 year guarantee.

| 5 | 2000 Double Tier Spun Bond Pocket Springs (Soft/Med or Firm) |
| Total GSM | 3950gsm |
The Artisan Naturals is our most popular natural fibre mattress. This is comparable with the Vi-Spring Regal Superb mattress in feel although if you look at the table below you will see how much more GSM you get for substantially less money. There are 1600 Calico encased Pocket Springs (Kingsize) which are sewn in individual calico pockets and hand-formed into a honeycomb-nested unit. We are also able to offer Soft, Medium or Firm springs dependent on your weight requirements. This model comes with a 10 year guarantee.

Your wife at just under 10st will require a soft spring tension (this does not mean that the mattress will be squishy soft) and you should opt for the medium tension.
| Bodyweight | Spring tension |
|---|---|
| Upto 16 Stone / 50-101kg | Medium (1.4mm) |
| 16 Stone / 101kg Upwards | Firm (1.6mm) |
| Available in Bespoke Products (Please Call) | Soft (1.2mm) |
Whichever model you choose, they are all made to a high standard you would expect from a premium mattress.
