Hi there
What is your view on the Loaf Top Dog mattresss? We have a budget of just under £1000 for our first proper mattress and would be interested in your thoughts?

Hi Sarah

Thanks for getting in touch. I have had a quick look at the mattress to see if I can do a comparison/review for you. Unfortunately other than the mattress-guide they don’t list any specifics about what’s in the mattress. Read this article to help you understand what you should be looking for when making comparisons.

However one of our intrepid mattress geeks spoke to Loaf and they spilt the beans on what’s in their Top Dog mattress.

You really need to understand what’s inside the mattress and the weights and quantities that are being used, known as GSM. Then you will be able to see if its value for money.

Have a look at the table below to see the contents and a comparison model Sarah.

Upholstery Layers	Loaf Top Dog Mattress	Artisan Tailored Pocket 2000	Loaf Perfect Mattress	Origins 1500
1	1200gsm Superloft white fibres (Synthetic)	1200gsm Blended British Fleece Wool & Cotton	200gsm super loft white fibres (which they describe as being microfibre)	300gsm Wool
2	1000gsm Cotton	Hairproof Cambric Cover	500gsm Silk	750gsm Soft Polyester
3	1000gsm Cashmere & Silk (No blend percentage given)	1250gsm Polycotton	200gsm Cotton	500gsm Polyester Pad
4	NA	1500gsm Pure 100% Mohair	1100gsm Polyester	One Inch Foam Spring Insulator

Total GSM	3200gsm	3950gsm	2000gsm	1550gsm
Springs/ Support	2200 Synthetic Pocket Springs (No gauge given probably 1.4 Medium)	2000 Dual layer spun bond Pocket Springs (Soft, Med or Firm tension)	1400 Synthetic Pocket Springs (No gauge given probably 1.4 Medium)	1500 1.4 gauge Spun bond Pocket Springs

For a similar price range we offer the Artisan Tailored Pocket 2000.

It has a combined upholstery weight of 3950 gsm made up of Cotton, Wool and Mohair and you can choose the spring tension that suits your body weights best! Also, it comes with a 7 year guarantee and a 60 day Love it or return it! policy (4 times as long as Loaf)
