We really like the Staples Pure Opulence zip and link bed I like the rating 2 and my husband is rating 4. I loved the feel of the pillow topper and bed seemed so comfy but was so expensive

Hi Sarah,

We do not recommend pillowtop mattresses because they can reduce the lifespan of your mattress. There is no need to use a pillow top when you can buy a separate topper that can be turned and rotated. This also means you can buy a decent handmade two-sided mattress which can also be turned. This method ensures you get all the benefits of a pillowtop with zero of the drawbacks. These separate toppers can be turned and rotated like a regular mattress. As and when they require replacing its only this one part and not the entire mattress that you have to replace.

As this mattress is a medium in the comfort layers, I would recommend either the Artisan Bespoke 004 or the Artisan Naturals.

Both of these mattresses can have the tension of the calico pocket springs selected to suit your bodyweight, making sure you both get the correct level of support and they both have the same guarantee of 10 years. The main difference is the natural fibre content, the Artisan Naturals is constructed with 85% while the Artisan Bespoke 004 is 100% natural fibres and is slightly softer in the upholstery than the Artisan Naturals. Adding to either of these mattresses a mattress topper will give the feel of a pillowtop mattress but with the benefit that the topper can be changed.  This will also help if you are sensitive to the join in a zip and link mattress.

I hope this was helpful and if you would like any further information please do not hesitate to contact the office on 0161 437 4419.

Kind Regards
Michaela
