Hi Les,

 

Thanks for your question.

 

You do draw upon an irrefutable fact which we go into at some depth here on Soft, Medium or Firm Mattresses about how when selecting your mattress you should be looking at comfort coupled with longevity.

 

Mattresses do get softer as time goes by.

 

Selecting a mattress that you find perfectly comfortable from day one will of course get softer from that day onwards.

 

In your case, if you had of selected a medium spring tension eight years ago rather than soft [and the difference in spring gauge between these two levels are not that vast] you would have probably been able to squeeze another year or two out of your current mattress.

 

As for our recommendation?

 

We would suggest our own Artisan 1500. This has a medium to firm upholstery and with the Artisan range you have the benefit of natural fillings in the construction. These tend to last longer as standard and also provide a cool sleep surface.

 

 

At your body weights we would match you both with a Medium spring tension to get the right level of support;

 

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)

 

The Sequence Latex is a now discontinued model.

 

The Origins Pocket Latex 1500 would also be a contender but as you have Harrisons in the past The Artisan Naturals would be an ideal choice.

 

As for Yanis Organic latex? Not really too sure or informed enough to give an opinion. I was always under the impression that only Latexco International had the financial resourse to segregate and plant anew a rubber plantation that was able to be certified as organic. The processing equipment has also been duplicated in separate facility to avoid any cross contamination and so on. This has been an ongoing investment that has been a ten years or so process and I'm not too sure if anything came from it.

 

And hence my scepticism about an organic latex mattress - they should come at a price.

 

I hope this has answered your questions fully but if you do have any further queries please don't hesitate to contact our office on 0161 437 4419.

 

Kind Regards, John and Ryan.
