Harrisons Rye compared to John Lewis Natural collection?
We have tried a harrison’s Rye 11750 in Martyn and Frost – it had 5 rows of springs. We also tried a John Lewis natural collection Natural Angora 1000 which had 4 rows of springs . is the Harrison’s automatically better quality because it has more rows.?
it was marginally cheaper. We also have heard that Harrisons makes the John Lewis anyway. John Lewis were much less pushy i have to say. We are in the highlands and are trying to decide by memory.We thought at the time the John Lewis was most comfortable . Perhaps you only answer questions regarding your own beds in which case apologies. >
Hi Sheena,
Thank you for your question.
You are correct, Harrisons do make the mattresses for the John Lewis Natural Collection.
I would question what benefit all those springs bring to the mattress as I know that they both have pocket springs topped with layers of mini springs.
In fact, having 4000 springs as opposed to 1500 suggests it may be more substantial, but whether it is more comfortable is a matter of opinion. The more springs in a mattress, the less upholstery fillings for the comfort. Whilst the springs in a mattress are there to give you support, far more important is the constituent parts and the GSM (grams per square metre) of those fillings. It is important that you are supported properly but also are comfortable when sleeping on the fillings.
It is difficult to say which of the two mattresses you have seen is best because there is no specific breakdown of those top layers or the GSM.
I would recommend that you telephone our office to speak to one of our Advisors who will be able to give you information and assistance with regard to our products.
Kind regards Julie
