Help on Salus mattress for 17 stone chap
Hi, I’ve been down at the local shop looking at the Salus 1500 and 1200 at 649 and 549 respectively to go on top of my old divan. Now I know I need to know more…probably need a new bed and a new mattress!
Anyway – some details – I am 17st and lie on my side and have started to notice that my hips ache in the morning from pressure. My other half is probably 13st…she’d say a bit less I expect!
We want a king size bed – do you have an equivilent of the Salus 1500?
Do you have any other suggestions?
Access isn’t an issue so no need for a zip together. And I guess I need to get rid of the divan now too…if so, my budget needs to cover a base as well… Cheers Adrian .
Hi Adrian,
We do not sell The Salus range nor indeed any memory foam mattress.
We find that the latex models we sell are far superior for an equvalent or even lesser price.
Finding the correct mattress for you and your other half of equal comfort levels and support is quite tricky.
However, as a starting point I would steer you towards The Origins Latex.

|---|---|
| 1 | 300 gsm Wool Silk blend pad |
| 2 | 3cm Talalay Latex (60/40% blend) 70kg Density |
| 3 | 3cm Talalay Latex (60/40% blend) 70kg Density |
| 4 | One inch HD Foam |
| 5 | 1500 Spun Bond Pocket Springs |
Secondly, if your budget can stretch to The Artisan Naturals then that particular model can be made with a firmer spring tension for you and a medium spring tension on your partners side.
