Weight capacity of Origins Pocket 2000

Hi, I have an Origins 2000 spring mattress from you that I bought 5 years ago and it is sagging on the side I sleep. When I bought it, I weighed about 18 stone, but now I weigh about 22. I have looked at all the relevant questions and answers on your website to see what the weight limit is, and have seen very contradictory answers! Possibly because you have questions on there from some years ago. One answer said this mattress can withstand 23 stone, and another said only up to 18. I am wondering if the resilience of this mattress has increased since the one I bought and that is why the advice differs so much? Please can you advise because at the time I bought it I know the limit was 18 stone, which is why I assume it's sagging because I'm heavier. If the limit is now 23 stone I'll buy another one because it was a fantastic mattress.
Hi Becky,
Thank you for placing your question.
The Origins springs/" class="" >Pocket 2000 mattress does have the firm spring tension which is suitable for body weights of up to 20st.
The fact that the mattress is now starting to sag means that it is time to change the mattress. As you can understand the heavier the sleeper the more stress is put on the mattress which if exceeded causes the mattress to fail, dip or reduces its lifespan. This mattress also has a 3 year guarantee and the fact that your mattress has lasted 5 years plus, is testament to the quality of the construction methods used, which as you know not only gives great support from the spring unit but also great comfort from the upholstery layers.
We do now have a range of mattresses suitable for you which are our Resilience mattresses. What we want to offer is not just a bed that ‘will do’ but a bed you’re actually comfortable on and not just a firm slab of heavy weight foam. Whilst you may need to replace a standard bed more frequently than a lighter sleeper, with our dual construction design we can limit the need to replace the entire mattress. Where we differ is we are foam specialists; we can offer a range of high support reflex and PU foams for the support aspect of your mattress. We then match this with a higher density range of hybrid or Latex using our dual construction method. This means that any wear or sagging that occurs over time can be reduced by having a removable replaceable topper.
Our Resilience 1 >mattress is specially designed for the heavier sleeper, offering firmer support and a softer super responsive comfort layer, to ensure the best sleep position. There is a core mattress for the support plus an additional 7.5cm laygel topper which gives a softer comfort before reaching the firm core mattress.

The Resilience 2 mattress again has a separate core mattress for the support but has a 5cm Latex topper which would then give a more medium comfort allowing you to sink into the topper but without it being overly soft.
