Hi, I am looking for a rock hard mattress (Ultra Firm) for my standard double bed. I have tried at some local shops but couldn’t find really firm mattress. I have gone through lot of websites but as you have said everyone has different definition of firm. Can you recommend me a mattress?

Thanks for your help. .

Hi DT,

 

Thank you for your question.

 

As has been explained on our website, everyone’s definition of firmness is different which is why we always ask for body weights as the mattress-guide/” title=”spring”>spring tension of a mattress is dictated by a person’s weight.  However, in the majority of instances, the upholstery along side the spring tension will also decide on the firmness of a mattress.

 

BodyweightSpring tension
Upto 16 Stone / 50-101kgMedium (1.4mm)
16 Stone / 101kg UpwardsFirm (1.6mm)
Available in Bespoke Products (Please Call)Soft (1.2mm)

 

We have four ranges of mattresses all of which have a firm feel mattress in each of those ranges.   As you are looking at an ultra firm mattress, we would recommend looking at our Resilience Range as these mattresses have been made to suit the more heavier sleeper.   The mattresses will feel firm to anyone 18st and above so if your body weight is less than this, then the mattress would feel extremely firm for you.

Both of the Resilience mattresses are made of solid foam and do not have any springs in the mattress but have different separate toppers to give different levels of comfort.  The Resilience 1 has a soft laygel topper which allows the sleeper to slowly sink into the topper before hitting the firm core mattress.   The Resilience 2 again has a separate topper and is made of 100% Natural Latex which will give more of a medium comfort before hitting the firm core mattress.

 

 

 

I hope the above is of assistance to you, however, as we do need to know the body weights of the people who will be sleeping on the mattress in order to give the correct advice which in turn will then enable you to order the correct mattress, could you please telephone the office on 0161 437 4419.

 

Kind regards Julie
