Pocket sprung vs solid core?

A customer asked

Me and my partner are looking to get a new kingsize bed. We've found two options so far, a full memory foam for £200 and a Divan pocket sprung (600 springs), tufted finish believed to be HSS. My partner suffers from hip and back problems and my constant tossing and turning in our small double bed is leaving her sleep deprived. I really wanted to know which would be a better purchase a memory foam or pocket sprung due to our limited budget. I thought maybe the pocket sprung seemed like the best option with a memory foam topper?

Hi Simon,

 

Thanks for your question.

 

In order to make a specific recommendation we would need to know your body weights as well as your actual budget.

 

Bodyweight Spring tension
Upto 16 Stone / 50-101kg Medium (1.4mm)
16 Stone / 101kg Upwards Firm (1.6mm)
Available in Bespoke Products (Please Call) Soft (1.2mm)

 

For now I am going to assume you are both of average weights - 12 - 13st with a budget of around £300.

 

I personally would opt for the memory foam support with a separate Memory Foam Topper rather than the 600 pocket sprung mattress with topper combination.

 

I say this for the reason of your partners hip and back problems where the progressive properties of the foams would have more beneficial results than the sprung mattress, which may be too abrupt for her.

 

For all budgets for around £300, among the best you can feasibly get is a combination such as The Memory Sleep 3 (Mattressman) for £194.00 plus a 3 inch topper for around £117 (Mattressman).

 

 

I hope this has answered your questions fully but if you do have any further queries please don't hesitate to contact our office on 0161 437 4419.

 

Kind Regards, John and Ryan.
