My husband and I are both very lightweight - 9 and 7 stone respectively. We like a soft bed, and do not like the idea of foam. Pocket springs would be our choice. What do you recommend?
Hi Isabel,
Thank you for your question.
We have two different ranges of pocket sprung mattresses, The Origins range is Synthetic and The Artisan range is Natural fibres.
The Softest model in the Origins range is the Origins Comfort 1000. The Origins Comfort is supportive to a level at what we would class as a ‘true medium’ based on an average bodyweight. Not too firm and not too soft. Saying that, this is the softest mattress we do using different densities of polyester in the comfort layer. To build softer at this price could only mean a reduction in fillings. £525.00 for a King Size mattress.
| John Ryan By Design Origins Comfort | |
|---|---|
| 1 | 750gsm Very Soft Polyester |
| 2 | 500gsm Polyester Pad |
| 3 | One Inch Foam Insulator Layer |
| 4 | 1000 Spun Bond Pocket Springs |
The softest model in the Artisan range is the Artisan Luxury. £1735.00 for a King Size mattress.
This is one of the best completely 100% natural component arrangements you can possibly get. Substantially well upholstered (4600 GSM) utilising horsehair and Wool in a sandwich layout topped off with a blended wool and cotton primary layer.
The nearest comparable model we can find to this is the Vi-Spring Devonshire in terms of comfort. The luxury however includes horse hair and horse tail, which the Devonshire does not, making it a considerably higher specification mattress. The horse hair and horse tail layers provide support for the softer wool layers to prevent excess settlement.
| John Ryan By Design Artisan Luxury | Vi-Spring Devonshire | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1200 GSM British Fleece Wool and Cotton | 600gsm British Fleece Wool |
| 2 | Hairproof Cambric Cover | 1700gsm Devonshire Fleece Wool |
| 3 | 1200gsm Pure Horsehair | NA |
| 4 | 500gsm Pure Wool | NA |
| 5 | 1200gsm Pure Horsetail | NA |
| 6 | 500gsm Pure Wool | 300gsm Bonded British Fleece Wool and Cotton |
| 7 | 1476 Calico encased Pocket Springs [51mm] [1.42mm] | 1326 Calico encased Pocket Springs [54mm] [1.52mm] |
| Total GSM | 4600gsm | 2600gsm |
The models in the Artisan range can be paired with either a soft, medium or a firm spring tension to support an individuals body weight. At your body weights you should opt for a soft spring tension.
| Spring Tension | Wire diameter (Gauge) | Weight Range |
|---|---|---|
| Soft | 1.2mm | Bespoke Tension (Please Call) |
| Medium | 1.4mm | Upto 16 stone |
| Firm | 1.6mm | 16 stone plus |
| Extra Firm / Orthopaedic | 1.9mm | 20 stone plus |
I hope this helps, if you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact the office on 0161 437 4419.
Kind regards,
Amy.
