King size mattress for side sleepers who like a firmer feel mattress

Hello,
We're a couple of side sleepers (him: 6'3 and 13 1/2 stone with arthritis in hip and back, her: 5'2 and 9 1/2 stone). Our now 8/9-year-old King size La Romantica Madrid feels unsupportive to us both. Originally it felt supportive although, in hindsight, we would have preferred the comfort layers to be firmer feeling. Thus, we are both happy having something properly supportive and with a firm or firm/medium feel.
With all this in mind, and to go on a Divan base, which of your range would you recommend?
Thank you.
Hi Adrian,
Thank you for your question.
At 13 1/2 stone you will require a medium spring tension. Your partner at 9 1/2 stone is borderline between a soft and a medium, some individuals of a sighter body weight do prefer to opt for a medium spring tension for a slightly firmer support.
The Origins Pocket Reflex 1000 is the firmer feel model in the Origins Range. This pocket-sprung hand made mattress gives a medium support with firmer top layers; the excellent ‘all rounder’.
| Origins Reflex | |
|---|---|
| 1 | 750gsm Very soft Polyester |
| 2 | One inch reflex foam layer |
| 3 | 270gsm Polyester |
| 4 | One inch reflex foam layer |
| 5 | 1000 Spun Bond Pocket Springs |
The Artisan 1500 is the medium to firm feel model in the Artisan range. This is a hand crafted natural and man made fibre mattress giving exceptional comfort and support for the price. This mattress simply can’t be beaten given the components and price. Tailored tensions are a standard.

|---|---|
| 1 | 500gsm Wool |
| 2 | 600gsm Rebound Poly Cotton (50/50) |
| 3 | 700gsm Polyester |
| 4 | 600gsm: Rebound Poly Cotton (50/50) |
| 5 | 700gsm Polyester |
| 6 | 1200 gsm Cashmere Hair Pad as Insulator |
| 7 | 1500 Spun Bond Pocket Springs (Soft/Med or Firm) |
| Total GSM | 4300gsm |
The Artisan Bespoke is the firmest feel mattress in the Artisan range. 100% natural fibre mattress providing a medium support with firmer feeling top layers for those wanting a firmer feel. Completely tailored calico pocket springs for your body weight.
It’s no use being coy about this. Our Artisan Bespoke is based quite clearly on the build quality of many of Vi Spring and Savoir models. We state quite openly that our Artisan Bespoke is “The best mattress your money can buy”. .. And the following is our reasoning. ..
To present our case, our Artisan Bespoke is described and detailed to the extreme in order to give you all the initial information you need to make an educated and informed comparison.
The closest comparable model we can find to our Artisan Bespoke is the Vi-Spring Herald Superb.
