Difference between Salus 1500 mattress and Flexcell 1600 mattress

Martin Bowker asked
20th September 2010

Hi After reading a couple of your q&a above. What is the difference between the Salus 1500 pocket sprung memory and the Flexcell pocket 1600?

I am aware they are both made by the same firm but are you saying the only difference is the cover and finishing, which is superficial and you don’t see this anyhow when the bed is made up?

Are they as comfortable as each other. Thanks. Martin.

Hi Martin.

Easy question – difficult answer.

If the innards are exactly the same (and I cant understand why the count is different 1500 and 1600 when the FEPS are the same) then it stands to reason that the comfort level should be the same.

However, the ticking as used on The Salus model is absolutely premium – well padded and well quilted, often the initial draw to this particular range.

And it is because of this one particular element that a slight difference in comfort is/could be perceived.

I have not personally tried them both side by side at the same time, so cannot answer your question with any degree of certainty.

But, the logical side of me tells me that there should be no ‘major’ perceivable difference – how can there be?

It would be [so very] interesting to see what the salesman who have both models in the shop says in response!

Let me know what you conclude.

John.
