Hi Lucy,

Thanks for getting in touch about the Legacy mattress, our 100% Natural Sleep System made here in the UK.

The Legacy has been developed over 10 years to create the perfect sleep system. The vast amounts of Natural Fibres - 16,800GSM overall in the sleep system, the Legacy bed provides a medium feel overall with a softer sink in the top layer. We've found this makes the perfect mattress based on customer feedback and our experience for people wanting the ultimate Natural fibre British mattress. All the fibres that can be sourced here in the UK have been. Which is why the Legacy is one of the finest sleep systems you can find.

In terms of spring tension, which a lot of people confuse with the 'softness' or 'firmness' of a bed, then a Soft spring tension is only really reserved for sleepers who are under 8 stone in weight. I've added the spring weight guide below.

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)

For the Legacy, the main mattress uses the Medium spring tension, with the base pads and sprung edge base using a firmer spring system to add progressive support.

If you could let us know what mattress you're sleeping on at the moment, your height and weight or what 'Soft mattresses' you have already trialled that would be helpful to give you a more detailed comparison. That may help you in finding your next perfect bed. (You can just add a comment underneath this to carry on the discussion if you like) If you don't want to give your weight please just indicate which spring tension matches your weight from the table above.

In the meantime, our Artisan Luxury is our softest (in the comfort layers) in our range you can see that below.
