Hi
My sister recommended I contact you guys before buying our mattress from Dreams. We had chosen the Flaxby Natures Finest 6500 Natural Mattress but thought we would see what you have that is similar to this. We would prefer to buy from you given how happy my sister has been with her mattress.
many thanks

Hi Isla,

 

Thank you for your enquiry and the feedback.

 

We have viewed the details of the mattress you refer to and would comment that, although it advises 6500 pocket springs and upholstery containing Egyptian cotton, wool and mohair, it does not provide specific details in terms of the GSM (grams per square metre) of that upholstery, making providing any form of comparison impossible.

 

Likewise, it makes it very difficult to advise on performance and quality.

 

As far as the number of springs are concerned, we would advise that 1000 springs in King Size mattresses are usually sufficient to provide support for people of average body weights.

 

To achieve the level of springs referred to, they will use layers of mini springs, which take the place of upholstery layers and we are not convinced that they bring anything extra to the table in terms of comfort.

 

We note that you are looking for a naturally upholstered mattress and these products are contained within our Artisan range.

 

 

It is difficult to make a specific recommendation from this range without knowledge of your particular body weights.

Please call our office on 0161 437 4419 to provide this information and obtain specific advice as to the suitability of one of our products for you.

 

We trust that this helps.
