Hi Rhian,

Thank you for your enquiry.

The initial consideration when advising upon the correct mattress for someone is their body weight as this will determine what spring tension should be selected. The second consideration would be preferred feel together with any sleep patterns i.e. side sleeping. Pocket sprung mattresses are designed to reduce the level of disturbance felt by both parties when one or other moves during the night.

Although zip and link mattresses can reduce this disturbance further, they are usually selected because there are access issues or where a one piece may be too heavy to enable regular turning and rotating. They are also more expensive than one piece products and can only be made in king size and above.

Without specific details of your body weights it is difficult to make a specific recommendation, however, as you are both side sleepers you will require softer upholstery layers. Please view the Origins Comfort 1000, which has a standard medium tension spring unit together with soft layers of man made upholstery giving an overall soft feel, making it ideal for side sleepers.

Alternatively, if you want to opt for natural upholstery, please view the Artisan Luxury, which can have the spring unit selected to suit and has soft layers of natural upholstery providing a softer feel, even if selected with a medium spring tension. Should your body weights dictate that you need different spring tension to suit, then such mattresses are only available in our Artisan range.

We trust that the above is of help, but if you require any further advice or guidance, please call our office on 0161 437 4419 and speak with one of our advisors.

Kind regards.
