We would like a quote on a split firmness mattress

Hi Rebecca,

Thank you for your question. The upholstery layers on top of the springs determine how the mattress feels. This should be based on both your comfort preferences and your sleep positions. We would not recommend firm upholstery layers for side sleepers as this can cause pressure pains in the shoulders and hips. Likewise, we do not recommend soft upholstery layers for front and back sleepers as sinking in too much in these positions can cause lower back and neck pain.

The tension of the pocket springs is based on your height and body weight to provide you with the correct level of support. The springs do not affect the overall feel of the upholstery layers. However, if you are very lightweight and you do not weigh enough to activate the springs, you will not be supported and the internal support of the mattress will feel firm. If you are of a heavier weight and weigh too much for the selected springs, you will also not be supported and the internal support of the mattress will feel soft.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to make a zip and link mattress with different upholstery layers on each side as each mattress would have different heights and would settle at different rates. When one person prefers the mattress to feel firmer than the other, we recommend opting for the firmer mattress. The other person can then soften down their side with a separate mattress topper for additional comfort.

I hope this helps and if you would like any further information or would like to discuss your individual needs please do not hesitate to contact the office on 0161 437 4419.

Kind Regards

Michaela
