A customer asked

Hello Your site provides excellent advice - thank you. I am looking for a firm ortho kingsize mattress which will lie on an unsprung divan base - budget is around £500. I have narrowed down my search to the following: Gainsborough Backcare Supreme 1250 pocket sprung Millbrook Ortho Spectrum 2000 pocket sprung Sleepeezee Platinum Ortho 1400 Firm Sleepeezee Backcare Ultimate 2000 pocket sprung What are your thoughts on the above and which is perceived as the best quality?

I would also like the option of turning too. I currently have a John Lewis Ortho 2 but as a double, it is unfortunately proving to be too small - great quality, fairly firm mattress but wrong size. With thanks and regards Ferdinand Edwards

Hi Ferdinand,

 

Thanks for your question.

 

With any Orthopaedic mattress they tend to be extremely firm in the comfort and we would always recommend steering clear of anything like this if you are side sleeper or if you suffer any sort of aches and pains because this will simply make them worse.

 

Where we struggle is that most retailers won't disclose how they construct and in turn we struggle to draw any comparisons.

 

Could you please provide your body weights, sleeping habits and preferred feel as these factor into mattress choice;

 

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 firmest mattress we ourselves offer is our Artisan Bespoke, which in turn compares with the Vi-Spring Herald that you can find in stores such as Furniture Village, Harrods, House of Fraser or And So To Bed. It might be worth testing a model such as that to see how you get on.

 

 

I hope this helps but if you have any further queries please don't hesitate to contact our office on 0161 437 4419.

 

Kind Regards, Lee.
