Hi John and Ryan, I find your website extremely informative and helpful in my pursuit of purchasing an ideal(!) mattress. Thanks very much. I now have a better understanding of the description (or the lack of, as with some big name manufacturers) of the pocket spring system and the upholstery used in mattresses. I am interested in your Artisan range mattress. I have a couple of queries please. 1) How many calico-encased pocket springs are there in a superking size and double Artisan mattresses?
Is this the same across the whole Artisan range for a particular size mattress?
(I know there are 1360 in a KS). Is there any difference between the quality of your spring system and the one used in say Vi-Spring?
2) Do you 'manufacture' the mattresses yourselves or do you subcontract it out?
Please would you let me know your comments about the John Lewis Elite Cashmere mattress?
It is described to have 13000 pocket springs in it!
However does not have exact description of upholstery used but is said to weigh 85 kg. h
Hi Prabh.
Thanks for your comment.
Most Bed Manufacturers base their spring count on a kingsize mattress and the most springs you can get into a kingsize is 2000. If a mattress has a lot more springs then they do not have very much fillings.
Our Calico Encased Pocket Springs are made the same way as Vi Spring in that they are made of vanadium steel. These 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.
We also zone the perimeter sides (2 rows) of the mattress with a slightly firmer spring to aid the edge support. This stabilises the mattress when sitting on the edge.
Our mattresses are our own product and are not sold or made for anyone else. We have a Factory who makes our products for us to our specifications.
The Artisan Naturals mattress is made up of 85% natural fillings giving the mattress an overall medium feel from those fillings. In order for us to recommewnd the correct spring tension for you, we would need to know your body weights.
I hope this assists but please do not hesitate to telephone our office for further advice / guidance on 0161 437 4419.
Kind regards Julie
