Hi Bev,
Given the weight differential, I would suggest that you opt for a split tension mattress and possibly a zip and link.
For you we would recommend a soft tension and your partner is border line medium/firm.
| 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) |
We only manufacture split tensions in our Artisan range.
We do have an outlet where we offer mattresses at reduced prices.
These are items that have been returned to us under our 60 day love it or return it guarantee, and have some transportation marks on them.
There is in that section an Artisan Bespoke 004 super king size zip and link set in a soft and firm tension, which has a discount on of 30% as a Grade D.
| Grade | Discount | Description |
|---|---|---|
| B | 20% | Will have been used by a customer and returned under the 60 night love it or return it guarantee, it may have a few marks from transit and courier handling. |
| C | 40% | Will have been used by a customer and returned under the 60 night love it or return it guarantee, it will have quite a few marks and could even have a small tear, nothing detrimental to the life or use of the mattress. |
If you are interested in this or any of the other items in the Artisan range, please call our office to receive further more specific advice as to suitability.
Kind Regards Gary
