Millbrook Heritage mattress versus Artisan Naturals mattress

Hi Martin. Our Artisan Naturals uses calico encased (sewn) pockets and therefore it is practically impossible to make adequate comparisons to models and manufacturers outside of Vi-Spring.

My husband moves a lot and keeps me awake, how can I solve it!

About dual spring tensions on one mattress

Hi Paul. Good point. There is a general confusion between the firmness of a mattress in the comfort layers and the supportiveness of a mattress. And, this terminology can be mis-represented, mistaken and misunderstood. To answer your question about which is FIRMER ie: 1500 pocket Springs or 2000 Pocket springs… Read More
