Many thanks for all the useful info on your website.
Could you please advise on a suitable pocket sprung mattress for me and my husband?
I am 10 stone with some mild pain in my lower back due to a disc problem.
My husband is 15 stone.
We have a good quality double divan base with a platform top and both prefer a firm feel to the mattress.
We have a budget of around £400 and like what you have said about the Origins Pocket 1500 or 2000 sprung mattress.
Would one of these be suitable and which mattress would you recommend for our weight please?
Thanking you for your time.

Hi Susan,
Thank you for the compliment in respect of our site, we strive to make it as informative as possible.
With your particular body weights I would normally recommend a medium feel mattress, which would be the Origins Pocket 1500, however, I note that you say that you both prefer a firmer feel.
| Your bodyweight | This will feel |
|---|---|
| Under 10 Stone / 63kg | Medium |
| 10-12 Stone / 63-76kg | Medium |
| 12-14 Stone / 76-88kg | Medium |
| 14-16 Stone / 88-101kg | Medium |
| 16-18 Stone / 101-114kg | Soft to Medium |
| 18 Stone / 114kg Plus | Please call for advice |
Whilst this would normally mean that you ought to go to the 2000 spring option, I think some of your pain may be aggravated by having too firm a mattress and with your particular body weight, I would not recommend the 2000 springs.
Having said that, you could still opt the 2000 spring and apply a topper to your side to reduce the firmness.
You can always soften a mattress with the application of a topper, but you cannot make one firmer.
Alternatively, you could look at the Origins Pocket Reflex 1000, which will provide a slightly firmer feel than the Origins Pocket 1500 in the top upholstery layers, but not quite as firm as the 2000 spring version, which will feel firmer in the support within the mattress.
I trust that this helps, but if you require any further advice or guidance, please call our office on 0161 437 4419.
Kind Regards Gary
