Soft Vi Spring mattress

A customer asked

Hello again!

We discussed mattresses last spring: I am 7 stone and have arthritis in my hips; I was wanting the softest possible mattress I could buy. A friend offered me a Vi Spring/John Lewis medium tension mattress and divan, and you agreed that it was too good an offer to turn down. I've tried it for about four months, and I am finding it very hard despite having topped it with a feather duvet *and* two goose feather and down mattress toppers. I tried lying again on a Vi Spring Shetland Superb Soft divan set today, and came away in tears as it is the mattress I have been dreaming about - but I can't begin to afford it. I know you said last April that you couldn't replicate the Shetland Soft (and, for various sensible reasons, weren't convinced about the durability of an all-wool mattress) - but I don't suppose you have anything similar in the pipeline a year on?

Thanks again for all your help thus far... .

Hi Hippy, 
 
Thanks for your question. 
 
Whilst we don't have a direct comparison to the Shetland due to the inclusion of wool and being a soft mattress, it is in line with our Artisan Luxury
 

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

Total GSM 4600gsm 2600gsm


 

 
This is the softest mattress in the top layers that we retail providing a luxurious sink in sensation. 
 
At your body weight you would need a Soft spring tension to get the right level of support;
 

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)


 
This model compares with the Vi-Spring Devonshire that you can find in places such as Furniture Village, House of Fraser, Harrods or And So To Bed. 
 
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, Lee.
