Hi Ally,

Thank you for your question on our website.  I am afraid that, as neither manufacturer provides specific build and construction details, it is impossible for me to advise on any differences.  However, if you contact each manufacturer directly they may provide you with more information, which will then enable you to make a more informed choice.

A sprung base like our Artisan base will soften the overall feel of a mattress and there are some arguments about these bases prolonging the longevity of the mattress.  This is because there is an extra set of springs to take some of the impact from the sleepers bodyweight.  Alternatively, a platform base like our Contemporary Platform base will firm up the springs slightly, giving an overall slightly firmer feel.

As a side note, if there is nothing wrong with your current base there is no reason to go to the extra expense.

I hope this was helpful and if you require any further information please call the office on 0161 437 4419 where one of our advisers will be happy to help.  Our office hours are 8 am - 8 pm Monday to Friday and 10 am - 4 pm Saturday and Sunday.

Kind Regards

Michaela
