Guidance on new bed.

Hello. I am hoping you can give me some guidance on a new bed. My husband and I currently have a king size Hypnos Sleep Safe divan with "regular" support. I am ashamed to admit it is now 16 years old so you might not even have heard of it! Both my husband and I suffer periodically with back pain but as our bed has got older I wake most mornings feeling incredibly stiff. We recently stayed in a holiday cottage where the bed was beautifully soft - the type you sink into - and I had the best weeks sleep for a long time and no stiffness in the mornings. Although my husband was not as keen on the overwhelming softness as me, he did comment that he found it more comfortable than our existing bed and perhaps a half way version would be good for him. Following on from that we decided that perhaps a zip linked bed would be a good idea (king size) which could have a softer side for me and something suitable for my husband. It was then that I discovered your website. We would be very grateful if you could point us in the right direction. In terms of weight, my husband is 13 stone and I am 9 stone. We will be requiring a new base and possibly headboard as well. Many thanks.

Hi Julie,

First of all congratulations on getting as long as you have out of your Hypnos mattress

Whilst we do not make any comparable products to the Hypnos range, we do make high quality, naturally upholstered mattresses at very competitive prices.

I note that you are enquiring about different spring tensions, which are available in both a zip and link version and one piece mattress in king size and above in our Artisan range.

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)

With your particular body weights, I would suggest a soft/medium split, although you could opt for a medium across the board and apply a topper to provide you with that extra softness. There is no difference in price whether you go for one tension or split tensions.

Please view the details of the Artisan Naturals, Artisan Bespoke 004 and Artisan Bespoke, although the latter of these is likely to provide a firmer feel in the upholstery layers. Once you have viewed these products, please call our office for more specific advice as to the suitability.

I trust that this helps.

Kind Regards Gary
