Tight budget mattress recomendation

A customer asked

Hi John, I am on a tight budget and not sure what to buy, I have tried our daughter's cheapish foam mattress and quite like it but my other half isn't keen on the heat it holds.

I was looking into kozeesleep and the kaymed 7000 foam mattress in a standard double.

We both weigh in at the 10 stone mark.

I have stumbled across the company named beautysleep and like the look of the memory pocket model with foam and 1000 pocket springs, reason for this choice would be due to price as I can't and afford a pocket/foam at £450+ mark.

On ebay item *** someone is selling the above mattress and base for £309 which appears to be a steal if it is decent quality, I just can't find any feedback or info on the company who produce these.

Other companies have the mattress alone for £300+.

PS I had a rest assured ortho 1000 pocket but found it too firm and couldn't sleep well on it.

I prefer to sleep on my tummy :).

Was wondering how the memory pocket deal would compare with your Origins Reflex.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Kevin.

A mattress and base for £309 are cheap.

There is no point whatsoever in deducing whether it will be good quality or not because all you have to compare it with are similar models for the same price.

However, if you have found a second-hand Vi-Spring, Harrisons etc for the same selling price then you will be getting a lot more mattress for your money.

Your bodyweights are quite light and this is in your favour.

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)

Spring support composition becomes secondary to comfort. i.e. your weight will be utilising the primary layers before you even reach the springs.

As budget is key, I would try to find a pocket sprung mattress (800 - 1000) as the support - no need to go to any great expense and provide your own separate comfort layers to suit your own preferences by means of toppers/comforters.

Hope this helps.

John and Ryan.
