New mattress used in B&B
We recently stayed at Taggart Guest House, Clevedon nr Bristol and the mattress was amazing!! We don't have any specifics of it though. The new mattress will go on a slatted base which we understand will need boarding. I have longstanding lower back degenerative disc disease. Our weight approx 10.5 / 12 stones. We prefer to have as much natural fibre content as possible. Please advise.
Hi Avril,
Many thanks for your enquiry.
It is great to hear that our recommended products for B&B's/guesthouses are meeting the expectations of the guests and providing restful sleep. The mattresses that we recommend for such establishments is the Origins Pocket Reflex 1000 and the reason that this is so is because this product will take a wide range of body weights, but if used on a regular basis by someone of your body weights, we would suggest it may be on the firm side.
Your Bodyweight | This will feel |
---|---|
Under 10 Stone / 63kg | Firm |
10-12 Stone / 63-76kg | Medium |
12-14 Stone / 76-88kg | Medium |
14-16 Stone / 88-101kg | Medium to soft |
16-18 Stone / 101-114kg | Soft to medium |
18 Stone / 114kg Plus | Please call for advice |
In fact, using your body weights as a guide, we would normally recommend a medium spring tension/feel mattress, and in the Origins range that would be the Origins Pocket 1500, which has a standard medium tension spring, layers of man made upholstery for comfort and is the best seller in that range. The whole of the Origins range contain man made upholstery, but if you are looking for natural upholstery, then it is our Artisan range you ought to be looking at.
Please view the Artisan Naturals, Artisan Bespoke 004 and the Artisan Bespoke 002, all of which contain natural upholstery and can have the spring tension selected as soft, medium or firm as required.The Artisan Naturals is our most popular, unbeatable model with 85% natural fibres. Containing a huge GSM of fillings, including wool and mohair, on a Calico pocket spring unit. This medium feel hand crafted mattress is where we stake our reputation as ‘The Mattress Specialists’.
