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. Your sleeping habits/personal preference will then determine how you would like the mattress to feel in the comfort layers. This is where… Read More
Hi Iris. Thanks for your question. Sorry to say iris but £300 is not a lot to spend on a mattress. We start our range with the Origins Comfort (too soft for your hubby) and The Origins Reflex. We cannot find any mattress from any manufacturer that… Read More
Hi Anne, Thank you for your question. Only you can determine whether your current base is in good enough condition. However, if there are no undue wear patterns and obviously no springs popping through (if spring edged) then it is feasible that it can be used for… Read More
Hi Ian. You will know by now that £800 for a good pocket spung Ziplink mattress set is hard to come by. Our Origins Pocket Latex with a good 8cm (6cm latex + 2cm Reflex) of upholstery above the spring unit is a phenomenal amount for this price. The… Read More

Hi Angie. Thank you for your enquiry on our website. £2000 is a lot of money to spend on a mattress but with this budget, your choice really does become simpler – with caveats. On the pyramid of best mattress manufacturers, Vi-Spring is nearer the top… Read More
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
Hi John. Thank you for your enquiry on our website. We have no qualms at all with ex-showroom models / damaged through delivery/shop soiled etc. However, the models you mention are still budget mattresses. The Evesham, for example, has a regular retail price of around £350 (Kingsize). To put… Read More
