Hi guys,
Looking for a mattress to replace one that's just too firm and we've been putting up with for the past couple of years. We're both about 11-12 stone each so expect a medium tension mattress should suit us well.
Three questions from us
1. I notice you mentioning that the Artisan Bespoke 002 would be a close match for the vispring tiara. Would you also say that the bespoke 002 mattress would be the closest you have to the sublime superb? I'm after the cocoon like feeling the sublime superb gives while ensuring that I'm well supported. The only issue I have (apart from the price!) is the roll off that Vispring seems have with for all of their mattresses. This, (alongside the rave reviews) brings me to your website.
A read through vispring's website seems to suggest that the additional benefit the sublime has over the tiara is the inclusion of silk and mohair but from my research it seems to help purely in comfort - is this something that you plan on including in future iterations of mattresses? Also I notice that silk and mohair only seems to help with comfort rather than support which brings me to the next question.
2. Is there any way (apart from the use of a topper) for us to get the springy feel of solatex on a mattress made from natural fibres? I've tried the Hypnos 1600 deluxe and some of the hybrid tempurs and while I find them lovely, comfortable and supportive to sleep on (I find that they do the best job supporting my lower back without the dreaded deep sink in), they tend to get warm very quickly and just can't replicate the breathability one would expect from natural fibres. The obvious solution would be to get one of your latex/memory foam toppers on top of one of the artisan mattresses, but wouldn't that be ruined from the use of an electric blanket?
3. Does the position in which you sleep affect the tension of mattress you should buy? For example, while we have similar weights, I sleep on my stomach and so tend to prefer a firmer mattress whereas my other half much prefers something softer given that he sleeps on his side. I'm assuming a small double size mattress is just too small to have separate tensions on each side so am interested to see whether the only option we have is to both just get used to a medium tension between us.
Sorry for the goldilocks moment, but am trying my best to find the perfect solution to my 8h a day!
