Good morning Sally,

 

Thank you for your enquiry.

 

The spring tension in our mattresses is soley determined by your body weight.  This is what supports you through out the night.  If you are too heavy for the springs then they will be too compressed to offer any support. If you are too light for the springs then they would not move at all and the comfort layers will be crushed between you and the springs and not be able to offer any comfort.  At your body weights we would recommend a medium tension in the springs.

 

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)

 

The 'feel' of the mattress is determined by the upholstery layers.  This is subjective to each person as what is comfortable to one person is not comfortable for another.  If you want a soft feel mattress then take a look at our Origins Comfort 1000 or the Artisan Luxury which are both the softest in their ranges. The Artisan range has the benefit of being constructed using natural fillings that in turn provide a cool sleep surface; Ideal for anyone who has heat issues during sleep.
