Hi John, we have to replace a flood damaged bed which is gutting as we spent months choosing it originally and it was our pride and joy. The bed was a Dr Luxury sold by Dreams in 2003. We know it was a Harrison mattress and had 1400 pocket springs, regular firmness and a natural latex layer. It also had a hot and cold side but I never really found much difference between them. The base was sprung with storage. My wife is 9 stone and I am 10.5 stone. We like a comfort mattress but also want support. We also want minimum transmission as apparently I toss and turn a lot!
We have tried several beds and the Harrison Neptune 3000 with medium firmness at 1150 with drawers seems to fit the bit so far but we are also looking at the Hypnos range. I would appreciate your advice and comments and have found your site extremely instructive, thanks. .
Hi Martin,
Thank you for your question. Are you sure you don't mean The Neptune by Millbrook [Planets Collection]?
The closest match [by budget] for Harrisons seems to be The Appleton 3000.
Personally, I am going to steer you towards our Artisan Naturals [Med tension springs for your bodyweights and preference].
If Harrisons or Millbrook can tell you the fillings contained in their mattresses are better than ours then I would be quite surprised.
Taking The Harrisons Appleton as an example, they are telling you that the mattress 'CONTAINS' wool blend, cotton blend and Hempure. You really need to how much.
The Millbrook Neptune 3000 as a comparison, 'UTILISES' layers of silk, wool & cashmere for extra comfort , Contains lambswool.
same story as above.
The springs used in our Artisan mattresses are sewn calico encased which are the best you can get in a mattress - in line with Savoir Beds and Vi Spring. The springs in the mattress are there to give you support and that support is dictated by your body weights.
| 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) |
Each manufacturer rely on the differences of spring manufacture as the difference between them - Harrisons use / promotes Revolution and Posturefil technology/ Millbrook promotes their NoRol technology, and as way of balance we use old fashioned traditional sewn Calico pockets with a choice of tensions - the same as it was a hundred years ago.
Hope this helps Martin but if you do require any further assistance or information, please do not hesitate to contact the office on 0161 437 4419.
Kind regards Julie
