Hi Ali.

Once again the lack of any substantial information of how these products differ from each other - and of course why the price differences?

Leaves you no better off as to which of these will be suitable for you.

Taking into account the low retail price of these products leads me to believe that you may be better off purchasing the two main elements separately - Support + Comfort.

For example, The Healthopaedic Memory Pocket Deluxe from Mattressman: £275. KS. Matt. [Feb 2013]

This by itself is not enough to suit your requirements, but it will be an excellent basis of support.

Purchase separately the comfort layers to suit you both.

For example: The Duck Down Dual Chamber Topper: £67.50 KS.

Duvet and Pillow Warehouse [Feb 2013].

All mattresses below £400 are pretty standard despite the huge choice, and it is rather unlikely they will be able to contain all the elements you both need for support and comfort. Nine times out of ten it is always better to composite your own mattress as we have done above to give you the mattress you require. The savings you make by doing it this way will enable you to change the topper as and when required (the mattress part should always be like new (with care of course)) and you could also buy new bedding to keep the two parts together - and still come home with change.

It may also be worth taking a look at our starter range, The Origins range. 

Our Origins range represents our starter models and provides the minimum standard you should expect from any of our Luxury Pocket Sprung Man Made. These have been specifically designed to achieve the best mattresses you can get within this price range. The Origins Pocket 1500 is our best selling made in the UK man made and natural fibre mattress. Offering a quality 1500 pocket-spring unit and layers of fillings for a medium overall feeling. Unbeatable value given its quality.

First Layer: 300 gsm Wool: This component is blended with (nominal amount) silk to give the primary layer beneath the fabric a gloriously soft cushion.

Second Layer: 750gsm Very soft Polyester: This coupled with the layers below brings the level of upholstery quite high. However, when compressed through tufting gives these layers a medium comfort but also has sufficient support by use of the springs.

Third Layer: 500gsm Polyester: This is the cushioning layer that acts as the dampener between the insulator layer below and the soft polyester that will follow.

Fourth Layer: One inch foam insulator: Directly on top of the spring unit we use a one inch layer of HD foam. This cushions you from the spring unit but also works with you enabling the pocket springs to rise and fall as you move.

The stretch knit mattress side panels are machine stitched . Traditionally hand tufted. Even though the mattress side panels are 9″ deep, the undulations caused by the abundant upholstery brings the mattress depth to a more realistic 13″
