Hi there I am looking to buy 2 beds and so glad to have come across your‎ very informative website. The first mattress requirement is a Double Mattress (4ft6) for a middle aged person. Preferable a firm supportive mattress for a restless sleeper, suffers from middle and upper back and neck pain and prone to allergies. He does sit up in bed a lot to read. Many decades ago he used and loved dunlopillo mattress so tending towards a latex mattress. Tried the dunlopillo in the shops and the universe range was probably the best as the others felt a bit too soft and too much of a sunken feel than he would like. Do not like the feel of memory form - too much of a squidgy cushioned feel and not as supportive as would like although like the comfort feel, but would wake up feeling rather crippled and disjointed after sleeping on them for a whole night. From this I believe the preference is really for the firmness of a high density mattress without necessarily being rock hard to avoid pressure soreness. And a bed that will last. Not really considered springs/" title="pocket spring">pocket spring due to bad experience with these in the past and concerned they will quickly develop back crippling and uncomfortable dips in them. Having looked at your website I wonder if you agree that a Fusion 2 latex 80/20 would ‎most suitable?

Is there a noticeable difference between the Fusion 1 and 4 in sleep comfort and firmness?

Which one of your beds do you think would provide the required support and firmness with some cushioned softness as both seem to have removable toppers?

The user is about 180cm tall and. 95kg weight. Can these mattress be used on a sprung slate bedframe?

The 2nd mattress is a Small Double (4ft) for more general use. For majority of the time will be used by young adult in early 20s, average height and weight (170cm and 70kg) who likes a medium to firm bed. The average user is unlikely to exceed 80kg. This bed needs to be versatile enough for a variety of people as it will be often used as a guest bed. The Origins Pocket 1500 or Pocket Reflect 1000 look to be the only viable options although they are slightly over my max budget of £350. Please let me know you recommendations for the 2 mattress needs. What is your lead time for delivery to London?

Do you accept credit card payments?

I have one more question which I hope you can help with or shed some insights. I have seen in an online store an upholstered sprung slate bed frame I like very much but I really wanted an ottoman frame which this is not.‎ According to the online description tere is about 30cm gap from the floor and the top of the slates so room for storage. I have also found online companies that sell hinges and gas pistons to be used to create an ottoman lift up bed frame. In your experience do you know if this is something that can be readily done?

Is this something your company is able to help with?

Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you. Ms Chidi >

Hi Ms Chindi.

Your sleeping habits/personal preference will then determine how you would like the mattress to feel in the comfort layers. This is where you will achieve the feel you are looking for (soft/medium/firm). Do you know if you have a preference for a soft, medium or firm?

If you do not, I would advise to go out and try the;
Vispring Devonshire - Soft in upper layers - Comparable with the Artisan Luxury
Vispring Regal Superb - True medium in upper layers - Comparable with Artisan Bespoke 004
Vispring Herald - Firm in the upper layers - Comparable with the Artisan Bespoke
