What's the weight of a Pocket Sprung Mattress?
Could you let me know the weight of Origins pocket 1500 in a king size mattress please?
Hi Sandra,
Thanks for getting in touch about mattress weights and sizes. Knowing the approximate weight of a new mattress can be helpful if you are a lone sleeper and need to consider turning the mattress over, or if you have an Ottoman Base. If the mattress is too heavy for an Ottoman base, you will struggle to lift it and then stand there holding the mattress in the air whilst asking someone else to get what you need from under the bed. I know this from personal experience. My Artisan Naturals double mattress was too heavy for my Ottoman, and this is what I found myself doing.
The Origins Pocket 1500 mattress is our best selling entry level mattress and weighs approximately 49kg. If you would like to know the approximate weight of our other mattresses, please take a look at our Size & Weight article here.

Our mattresses weigh considerably more than those from other retailers, as we include a much higher volume of upholstery fillings inside them. To ensure even settlement and allow you to use both sides—unlike one-sided, online boxed mattresses—they should be turned once a month.
Turning a mattress once a month, north to south one month and then east to west the next, helps to even out the settlement of the upholstery layers. You can read more about settlement and why it happens here. If you have a dual spring tension mattress, this only needs to be turned over north to south so that each partner retains their own side, which we know is important.
If you are looking for a larger mattress, a zip and link option may be ideal. This makes turning the mattress much easier and practically eliminates motion transference during the night.

I hope this helps and if you would like any further information, please do not hesitate to contact our small, friendly team on 0161 437 4419.
Kind Regards
Michaela
