Mammoth mattress with medical grade foam

Hi I've been looking at your website for some time now, trying to decide between a good pocket sprung and a hybrid mattress.
Having never laid on a hybrid bed I thought I'd better give them a try so visited Furniture Village.
After trying out the traditional Vi Springs I was directed to a Mammoth Pocket 270 - 7cm Medical Grade Foam with 1600 'luxury' pocket springs.
I was very pleasantly surprised how good this felt and now feel that this kind of mattress could be more suitable for me (5'6", 10 and 1/2st and aching joints) than a traditional pocket sprung.
I'd be interested to know if you have any thoughts/opinions on Mammoth and whether your Hybrid mattresses would offer a similar feel.
Hi Lynne,
The hybrid style mattresses provide the support of a traditional mattress but with the pressure relief and moulding feeling that you would get from a memory foam or latex mattress. They really do provide the best of both worlds!
As for the mammoth mattress; they use a castellated construction method of their ‘medical grade’ foam which gives a softer more pliable feel to the top layers of the mattress. What is medical grade foam you ask? Good question!
Having tried a number of mammoth mattresses and seen them naked, without coverings, I can only liken the medical grade foam to reflex PU foam, i.e.
regular dense foam usually used at the bottom of memory foam mattresses. We can confirm that it does last longer than memory foam but its much firmer and harder in its properties than memory foam.
The castellation makes the medical grade foam feel softer and more malleable to over come this firmness.
In terms of what is similar I’d ask you to look at our Hybrid mattresses which are deeper than the mammoth but are similar in construction method, albeit without the castellated foam. There is also a considerable difference in price!
| Hybrid 4 | Tempur Cloud 27 | |
|---|---|---|
| Cover | Micro-quilt John Ryan Cover with tape edged damask sides | 1.5cm extra soft quilted polyester cover |
| 1 | 7.5cm 60kg Laygel | 2.5cm Extra Soft layer Tempur Foam |
| 2 | 6cm 40kg Memory Foam | 7cm comfortable layer Tempur Foam |
| 3 | 5cm 60kg Laygel | 8cm Durable base layer |
| 4 | 10cm Reflex Support Foam | 8cm Durable base layer |
| Total Depth | 28.5cm + 3-5cm for the quilted cover | 27cm |
If you are preferring a vi-spring style traditional bed then I’d advise you to look at the Artisan Range of mattresses. Our Artisan Naturals is our best selling Natural fibre pocket sprung mattress. A mattress of its design-build will far outlast any foam mattress as its two-sided.
