Which mattress does the Apsley superb John Lewis compare the closest to?

Hi Dolores,Sadly Vi-spring and John Lewis don't disclose the <a href="https://johnryanbydesign.co.uk/understanding-beds/gsm-guide/">GSM within this model</a> of mattress, which is essential to make any comparison.<a href="https://johnryanbydesign.co.uk/understanding-beds/vispring-mattress-comparison-alternatives/">We do compare to a number of Vispring models and you can see the lists here.</a> Maybe have a look at the <a href="https://johnryanbydesign.co.uk/product/artisan-naturals/">Artisan Naturals </a>as a starter for ten and then give us a call with your weight and height so we can give you a tailored recommendation.<img src="https://johnryanbydesign.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Artisan natural0034.jpg" alt="" />If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to contact the office on 0161 437 4419

We would like a mattress that is independently sided but one king size - not two singles attached in the middle.

Hi Neil,Thank you for your question.That's not a problem as you can order a dual tension mattress as a one piece so that one side will be one tension and the other side a different tension. This works in the following combinations.<ul><li>Soft/medium</li><li>medium/firm</li></ul><img src="https://johnryanbydesign.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Green-Chenille-Sprung-Base-John-Ryan-e1510594280933.jpg" alt="" />You will only be able to flip the <a class="wpil_keyword_link" href="https://johnryanbydesign.co.uk/product-category/mattresses/" title="mattress" data-wpil-keyword-link="linked">mattress</a> over and this would need to be done at least one a month for about the first 12 months in order for the fillings to settle evenly.If you need any more help please drop us a line on 0161 437 4419.All the best

Considering an Artisan King Size Mattress. One person at 1.55m and 65kg and one at 1.85m and 80kg. What tension would you recommend?

Hi Angus,Thank you for your question.At your body weights, we would recommend a medium spring tension. <a href="https://johnryanbydesign.co.uk/understanding-beds/pocket-springs/">We have a guide on pocket <a class="wpil_keyword_link" href="https://johnryanbydesign.co.uk/understanding-beds/pocket-spring-mattress-guide/" title="spring">spring</a>s here which has a table giving the weight tolerances for each spring tension.</a>Each of the Artisan mattresses then have different upholstery layers which gives a different comfort. The first four mattresses in the <a href="https://johnryanbydesign.co.uk/product-category/mattresses/pocket-sprung-natural-fibre/">Artisan Range</a> all have a medium comfort layer, the Artisan Luxury is the softest mattress we make, the Artisan Bespoke is the firmest mattress, the Artisan Bespoke 002 again has a medium comfort layer but has a dual layer of springs which makes the mattress very responsive and is also slightly softer in the spring tension because of this. Our newest mattress which is the Artisan Bespoke 003 is slightly softer in the comfort layers than the Artisan Bespoke 002 but not as soft as the <a class="wpil_keyword_link" href="https://johnryanbydesign.co.uk/product/artisan-luxury/" title="Artisan Luxury">Artisan Luxury</a>. The <a class="wpil_keyword_link" href="https://johnryanbydesign.co.uk/product/artisan-bespoke-003/" title="Artisan Bespoke 003">Artisan Bespoke 003</a> also has a dual layer of springs but this gives the mattress good support with deep sumptious top layers.<img src="https://johnryanbydesign.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/homepage-1-1.jpg" alt="" />It would be preferable for you to telephone our Office to have a chat with one of our Advisors who will be able to give you the advice required in order for you to make the right choice.Kind regards Julie If we can assist further please get back in touch.

HiYou previously recommended a medium tension /medium spring for me and my wife. (5ft 8 and 5ft 6, 165 and 160 pounds and with a fixed slatted bedstead).. I am a little concerned about my back and was wondering whether you thought a soft or medium soft tension would be more beneficial?I appreciate your advice..RegardsMike

Hi Mike,Thanks for seeking further clarity.Unless you really want very little support from the mattress, I would stand by the previous advice given.The <a class="wpil_keyword_link" href="https://johnryanbydesign.co.uk/understanding-beds/pocket-spring-mattress-guide/" title="spring">spring</a> tensions are dictated by your weight as the springs are designed and manufactured for certain weights. Once above 10 stone / 140lbs the spring will simply compress too much and risks not providing enough support.[table id=7/]<img src="https://johnryanbydesign.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Mattress-Spring-Hand-Stitching-21.jpg" alt="" />I can appreciate your concern though and our <a href="https://johnryanbydesign.co.uk/guarantee/">60 days love it or return it guarantee</a> is there if you do order a medium but feel a soft would be more suitable.If you want to chat through it further please give us a call on 0161 437 4419.Kind regards Julie

I'm looking for a recommendation of one of your mattresses / beds. I currently have a fairly firm mattress on a firm base that I find extremely uncomfortable. I get lower-back ache and pains in hips and shoulders, and the bed feels very hard.I am 5' 11" and 14 stone, and I sleep on my side. I'm looking for a single bed.Do let me know if you need any further information.

Hi Patrick,Thanks for getting in touch and sorry to hear you're uncomfortable, there's nothing worse than a rubbish nights sleep. So let's see if we can help.Without knowing your budget I'll give you three options which are at different prices, if you need more help you can then ring or email us knowing which one may meet your budget. Hope that helps.Firstly have a look at the <a href="https://johnryanbydesign.co.uk/product/origins-pocket-1500/">Origins 1500</a> which is a medium feel mattress and will give you some sink in the top layer. This is a <a class="wpil_keyword_link" href="https://johnryanbydesign.co.uk/understanding-beds/what-is-a-pocket-sprung-mattress/" title="pocket sprung">pocket sprung</a> mattress.Secondly, have a look at our <a href="https://johnryanbydesign.co.uk/product/fusion-3/">Fusion 3 mattress</a>, this is a 100% natural latex mattress. It will have a very progressive feel unlike a <a class="wpil_keyword_link" href="https://johnryanbydesign.co.uk/product-category/mattresses/" title="pocket sprung mattress">pocket sprung mattress</a>, very malleable and great f you've got say sports injuries as it really does mould to you but lets you move quickly if you need to.Lastly, have a look at our <a href="https://johnryanbydesign.co.uk/product/artisan-naturals/">Artisan Naturals </a>which is a traditional <a href="https://johnryanbydesign.co.uk/understanding-beds/wool-as-a-mattress-upholstery-fibre/">natural fibre mattress</a>, I'd recommend a medium <a class="wpil_keyword_link" href="https://johnryanbydesign.co.uk/understanding-beds/pocket-spring-mattress-guide/" title="spring">spring</a> tension in this for you.Please have a look at the links on the products about to see the difference and price points, then get back in touch if you need more guidance.Kind Regards Gary
