Would you recommend the Artisan Bespoke & topper on the Ottoman?
For the best part of 2 years, my wife and I have been on a mission to find a solution to our transfer of movement problem.
Currently, our mattress is a bog standard king size box spring on a slatted base. So when either of us moves, the movement generated across the whole bed disturbs and wakes the other up.
We have found when staying in nice hotels that there are some beds which seem to eliminate this issue completely. The mattresses are always pocket sprung, and often pilowtops.
Furthermore, from testing in shops we have also found that a solid base makes a huge difference not only to how firm a mattress feels but also to the amount of transfer of movement.
Because my wife gets very hot at night, and also from testing in shops, the memory foam option is out of the question.
But we are hoping the following options will solve our problem:
The option we are leaning towards is therefore an Medium Artisan Bespoke Superking pocket zip&link mattress on a solid ottoman base, and potentially a thick-ish, run cool topper.
We are really hoping this will eliminate at least 90% of the transfer of movement problems we are having.
For context, I am 6’1 and 13 st and my wife is 5’10 and about 11 st. And we are looking for a firm feel.
Hi there,
Thank you for your enquiry. Movement disturbance is considerably less with pocket sprung mattresses as the springs are not connected, only the encasements. With the zip and link option and platform base, this should be eliminated.
With the body weights you have provided we would pair you both with a medium spring tension to give you the correct level of support. The Artisan Bespoke has the firmest upholstery layers of this range and it's 100% natural fibres provide the coolest sleep surface. A mattress topper will soften the feel of the upholstery and we would ask you to try the mattress for a few weeks first before purchasing a topper as it may be an expense you do not need.
I trust this was helpful and if you would like any further information please do not hesitate to contact the office on 0161 437 4419.
Kind Regards
Michaela
