New king size mattress
I'm looking to buy a new king size mattress. I have bought a slatted solid wooden bed and would like to know which mattress would be best suited for me. I'm 5ft 2in and about 9 stone. My current bed is a divan but I don't know what firmness the mattress is I would guess medium/firm. My partner has an older Myers mattress (sleepzone Myerfoam) which says "twin spring - total body support - pressure system" and I find this bed much more comfortable than mine. His is also a solid wood slatted base.
I would be very grateful if you would advise me which in your range would in your opinion be best suited to me. Many thanks
Hi Domenica,
Thank you for your enquiry.
For your particular body weight we would suggest a medium spring tension/feel mattress is appropriate. This would also apply to your partner if his body weight is between 10 -17 stones. Please view the Origins Pocket 1500, which has a standard medium tension spring unit together with man made upholstery providing an overall medium feel.

4 | One Inch Foam Insulator Layer |
5 | 1500 Spun Bond Pocket Springs |
Alternatively, if you prefer natural upholstery, please view the Artisan Naturals or Artisan Bespoke 004, both of which can have the spring tension selected to suit and both of which contain natural upholstery providing an overall medium feel.
The Pocket 1500 and the Naturals are the best selling products in their respective ranges as detailed at the foot of this response and all the mattresses referred to are double sided, which will add to their longevity. If you are intending to use any of our products on a slatted base, we would advocate placing a barrier, usually thin (3-5mm) MDF over the slats to provide the mattress with a uniform surface upon which to sit and prevent ridging occurring as a result of the mattress dipping into the gaps between the slats.
We trust that the above is of help, but if you require any further advice or guidance in respect of any of our products, please call our office on 0161 437 4419 and speak with one of our advisors.
Kind regards,
Amy.
