Advice on Harrisons Nirvana 3000 mattress

Hi Esther.

Thanks for your question.

First and foremost you should be contacting Harrisons direct (0113 205 5200) to ensure the base you intend to use will not have an effect on the warranty of the mattress.

You will need to get this in writing so I would actually recommend you do this by email info at harrisonbeds.co.uk.

The Nirvana 3000 is a one sided mattress, and so I would really partner this with a sprung edged divan base – certainly not a standard platform top ‘cheap’ base.

Harrisons do state that this particular mattress can be used on a bedframe and I think if your budget cannot extend to a sprung edged base then a bedframe will provide a more desirable looking and affordable alternative.

As a point of note The Nirvana 3000 is very similar to The Haven 4000 both from their Topped and Tailored collection.

The number refers to the total spring count in mattress AND base – in the case of The Nirvana the mattress has 2000 springs – The Haven has 3000 in the mattress.

The noticeable differences are that The Haven uses Revolution and HD springs and The Nirvana uses Revolution and Posturfil springs.

It’s hard to differentiate fully between the two as the cutaway image on their site [May 2013] shows The Haven cutaway under the Nirvana description !!

The upholstery is slightly different between the two with The Haven having Mohair within the blend.

Hope this helps.

Hi thanks for your reply.

If we go for a bed frame, do we need to lay something over the slats to protect the mattress?

You also mention the Harrison Haven 4000, in your opinion is this a better mattress than the Nirvana 3000 for around the same money?

Thanks Esther.

Hi again Esther.

Yes, only for the fact that The Haven mattress is full two sided.

I have absolutely no idea the make up of the upholstery layers which could be used to fully differentiate the two.

Read this comment here Also, take a look at The Tennyson mattress from Feather and Black (although under the F&B branding they are also manufactured by Harrisons).

Use this a price / build comparison.

There are plenty of comments below about using slatted frames for your mattress, take your time to read through them for detailed advice.

Hope this helps and please let us know how you get on.

Incidentally, there is precious little online about the prices for Harrisons Nirvana and Haven mattresses.

For the benefit of other readers I would be grateful if you can let me know the quoted prices you have had for these models.

If you require any further assistance please call the office on 0161 437 4419.

Kind Regards Gary

Hiya you asked me to give you abit of insight into the prices of the Harrison mattresses and beds as like you said there is no pricing info online.

This, I have been told, is due to Harrison not wanting to be an online seller.

Anyway, my advise to anyone wanting to purchase a Harrison bed is not to go with the first shop but ring around the others who advertise selling them on the internet as you can get a lot better deal.

We originally were looking at the Harrison Nirvana 3000.

First price was £699 for mattress, £1239 for complete bed with 4 drawers.

Cheapest I managed to get it for £556 mattress, £950 bed 4 drawers.

Then started looking at the Harrison Haven 4000 on your recommendation, my first quote was for £1349 for bed 4 drawers.

Cheapest I managed to get it for is £649 mattress, £999 for bed with 4 drawers plus 2 memory foam pillows thrown in.

And this is the one we’ve gone for.

All prices are for a king size.

Hope this help someone else looking at Harrison beds.

Hi again Esther.

Absolutely it will help and it is exceedingly good advice.

Thank you so much for sharing.

Once again please let us all know how you get on with The Haven.

John and Ryan.
