Artisan Naturals vs Vi Spring Regal Superb

Tom asked
11th August 2013

Looking for some guidance on what mattress to get.

I’m 6foot3 and 12 stone and my gf is 5foot and 8 stone.

I like a reasonable firm mattress and don’t like memory form or anything that I would sink into too much.

We’re willing to spend around £1000 on a mattress if it will mean that it lasts longer but only if it’s really worth it.

I’ve been eyeing up the Artisan Naturals – Kingsize, which looks like it may be a good choice but i’m finding it hard to justify spending that much.

I tried a Vi Spring Regal Superb and it seemed extremely soft…

(didn’t check whether it had a specific firmness) Perhaps this is just because i’m not used to pocket sprung mattresses.

Hi Tom,

Thank you for getting in touch.

The Artisan 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 make to this model is the Vi Spring Regal Superb. As you are most probably aware the Vi Spring model is substantially more expensive than our Naturals model, When you see the detailed breakdown below its hard to justify such i high difference in price;

As this mattress is over your budget at £1235.00 for a King Size model i would suggest you take a look at our Outlet options. 

The products sold in the Outlet are products that have previously been sold and returned under our John Ryan 60 day love it or return it guarantee. Once a product is returned to us it is inspected and graded accordingly using the grading system below;

C40%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.

I hope that this information helps.
