Origins Pocket Latex comparison to Dreams Beds

Hi there, thanks for your very informative website. My husband and I are looking for a new mattress and bed, and found the Dreams Zen Rejuvenate Mattress (king size £1049) to be really comfortable for us. One of our concerns though was that the bed felt as though it had a camber and we were tipped towards the edge. The salesman explained this was probably due to customers sitting on the edge of the mattress and thus squashing it. We tried lying on it 'upside down' ie feet at head end - and it did seem a lot better. Have you any comment or advice regarding this please?
We are thinking of buying a metal bedstead so need to decide on straight or sprung slats and I guess this could also affect the 'camber'. How do you think that the Origins Pocket Latex mattress compares with the Dreams one?
Obviously there is a big price difference. We weigh approx 11 and 14 stone, and my husband has had slipped discs. We currently have a 6cm memory foam topper which has really helped him but has now degraded and seems to make me far too hot, so we thought latex would be better. Many thanks Jess .
Hi Jess,
Thank you for your question.
Firstly, it is very important to remember that when trying out products in a showroom for all of 5 minutes it will not give you a good indication of the comfort, durability or structure of the mattress. Also you do not know how long the mattress has been displayed and how may individuals of varying body weights have tried out this mattress before you and potentially ruined the tension of the springs etc.
Asking us to draw a comparison between our Origins Latex and The Dreams Zen Rejuvenate is rather difficult but first lets look at how Dreams can charge over £1000 for a mattress of dubious quality compared to ours with a retail price of less than £900? So lets see if the extra cost can get you significantly more mattress...
The Dreams Zen Rejuvinate: £1049.00 King Size. [Official Specifications] Pocket sprung mattress (2400 count) | 1000 Mini Pocket Springs | Key filling: Latex | Quilted finish with soft touch knitted cover | three rows of side stitching for additional support.
The Origins Pocket latex combines a quality 1500 pocket spring unit with a deep talalay latex comfort layer. Mixing both progressive comfort with traditional support. A medium firmer edge progressive feel.

| 5 | 1500 Spun Bond Pocket Springs |
The Latex in the top layers of upholstery in this mattress will provide a cooler sleeping surface than synthetic fibres would, certainly more so than memory foam!
The pocket Latex mattress is suitable to be placed on either a slatted base or a platform divan. The main advice given when using a slatted base is that the gaps between the slats should not exceed 3" as this will allow the mattress to sink between the slats and will cause problems with your mattress. If the gaps between the slats are greater than 3" we advise that you cover the base with a small piece of MDF or Plywood essentially making the base a platform top.
Our Origins Platform Divan would be a fantastic choice!
I hope this is useful to you but should you need further information please do not hesitate to contact the office on 0161 437 4419.
Kind regards,
Amy.
