Comparison for Harrisons Topped and tailored mattress
Hi John & Ryan, My partner and I have decided to buy a new mattress to fit our slatted double base. We are researching what would be the best choice for us and the enormity of the facts and figures have left my head in a spin!
Initially, we had considered a pocket sprung bed with a memory foam top layer but have now rejected that idea because it seems they are too hot. Now we have limited the search to a pocket sprung with natural materials and are favouring the range made by Harrison but have found them to be quite expensive. I just wondered if you have any recommendations regarding pocket sprung mattresses with similar qualities to those of the Harrison mattresses range (Harrison Tailor Turquoise, Harrison Appleton and Harrison Platinum Express 3000)?
If there is any further info you might need before making a recommendation please get in touch. Many thanks. .
Hi Tracy,
Thank you for your question.
I’m sure Harrison’s are quite capable of explaining the differences between the three models you mention above more than we and it’s a pity that these fundamental details are not published to save you phoning the manufacturer direct to ask.
If it were me I would ask them to tell me how much upholstery of each type per square meter they have put in each matress rather than telling me – at repetitive length, how many springs are in each mattress. Surely after 4000 springs have been placed there can’t be much room left for comfort layers!
Something has to give. I wonder what?
If you are looking for Natural fillings with the best calico encased pocket springs then take a look at our Artisan Range, the Artisan Naturals in particular. The Naturals is our most popular, unbeatable model with 85% natural fibres. Containing a huge GSM of fillings, including wool and mohair, on a Calico Pocket spring unit. This medium feel hand crafted mattress is where we stake our reputation as ‘The Mattress Specialists’. The closest comparison we can make to the Naturals is the Vi Spring Regal Superb.
| John Ryan By Design Artisan Naturals | Vi Spring Regal Superb | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1200gsm Blended British Fleece Wool and Cotton. | 900gsm Blended real Shetland Isle Fleece Wool and Cotton |
| 2 | Hairproof Cambric Cover | Hairproof Cambric Cover |
| 3 | 1250gsm Rebound Poly Cotton | 1200gsm long stranded Horsetail blended with British Fleece Wool |
| 4 | 1500gsm 100% Pure Mohair | 1000gsm Bonded British Fleece Wool and Cotton |
| 5 | 1600 Calico encased Pocket Springs [ 49mm ] [1.28mm ] | 1720 Calico encased Pocket Springs [48mm ] [1.28mm ] |
| Total GSM | 3950gsm | 3100gsm |
Feel free to ask Harrisons what models they have with upholstery that compares to this.
Of course their Revolution springs will not be able to be compared as they are exclusive (in this country) to them. Is the Revolution any better than calico encased?
I would say No.
Vi-Spring would say No.
Savoir Beds would say No.
In order for you to get the best for your money you have to know what exactly you are spending your money on. And at the risk of becoming repetitive, a list of cashmere, cotton and wool just will not do. You have to know how much of each is in your mattress. Only when you have this information will you be able to make an educated and informed purchase.
If you have any further questions please give the office a call on 0161 437 4419 to speak to one of our friendly advisors.
Kind regards,
Amy.
