Salus Pocket sprung mattress questions
Hi John My husband and I are looking to purchase from [***] a Salus 1500 Pocket sprung memory foam mattress. They are offering it for £629 but we are not sure if this is a good price or not, as we can't seem to find it anywhere else?
We also would like to buy a solid oak bed frame that is from [***] at £389 called [***], not sure if you can offer me anything identical. Both are Kingsize. Thank you for your help. Angie.

.Hi Angie, Salus are only available in stores so you wont find them anywhere else, particularly not the internet.
You are asking if a 1500 (encapsulated) pocket sprung mattress - with 75mm memory foam comfort layer is worth £629?.
The thing to remember with the Salus brand is that they are not a cheap product and I assume targetted to the higher end market.
You can certainly buy a 1500 pocket sprung 75mm memory foam mattress for half that price ..
But, the quality of finish and detailing will not even come close.
Is this important to you?
As a further note, I have to say that the quality of the divan bases from Salus are amongst the best I have seen in a mass production factory.This is in no way an endorsement for the 'worth' of the mattress / bed.
I just recognise that the quality of fabric and finish of these products deserve recognition.
But is it worth £629?
How much to spend on a double mattress? | What can I expect for my money? |
---|---|
Under £500 | Will not get you much at best a 13.5 gauge open coil/cage sprung with a thin polyester layer or a solid foam mattress. |
£500 | Entry level spunbond springs with some form of synthetic upholstery. Usually one sided mattresses. |
£750 | The beginnings of a basic pocket springs unit with 800 – 1000 count. No substantial amount of filling other than foams and synthetic materials. Two sided models. |
£1000 | Should get you away from most low ranges and into the mid-range pocket spring models. |
£1250 | Should get you a decent pocket sprung mattress with some Natural Fibre content. |
£1500 | Should get you many manufacturers mid-range models with Natural Fibres |
£1500-£2000 | Should get you a Hand Made primarily Natural Fibre Quality Mattress |
£2000+ | You should expect 100% Natural Fibres and Traditional Hand Made Construction Method. |
£5000+ | A Bespoke Hand Made Sleep System, High-end Spring Units & Featuring the Worlds Most Luxurious Natural Fibres. |
Take a look at the Breasley Flexcell Pocket 1600 and the only percievable difference will be the fabric covering and detailing - which is probably what is enticing you to The Salus 1600 in the first place.
After all Breasley is the parent company of Salus.
As for the bedframe, I don't know this model in particular but for a solid oak kingsize frame (if that is what it is!) it's not excessively overpriced although I have seen similar models elsewhere for the £330 mark.
A quick search for Kingsize oak bedframes will throw up some viable alternatives.
