Which tension in the Artisan Naturals?

Some advice please (no hurry – I’m happy to wait for Ryan’s return from holiday!): we are awaiting delivery of a super king-size bedstead and will be looking for a ziplink mattress set for it. We have been looking at your Artisan Naturals SKS Ziplink mattress set (within our budget). If we opt for that mattress set, would you recommend a soft or medium tension for us?
I am 5' 5" and weigh 9st 7lbs. My husband is 5' 9" and weighs 12st 7lbs. Our current (double) mattress is a Harrison HEBE medium support, 3850 spring count, and we would like similar support from a new ziplink SKS mattress set. .
Hi Eleri.
I would recommend the Soft spring tension on the Artisan Naturals for you both.
| 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) |
This is borne from the fact that you wish to replicate the spring tension of your current mattress (incidentally I cannot find any reference about a mattress named HEBE !).
A point to note is that as the mattress gets smaller (in width) the overall tension becomes slightly firmer.
If you weren't opting for the Ziplink model I would have said that the Medium spring tension would have been comparable to your current mattress.
I hope this helps and I sincerely apologise for the delay in replying.
We are now back on track.
John and Ryan.
