Mattress Recommendation – comparable to Vi Spring Devonshire?
As with most people looking at buying a new bed we’re getting a quite a muddle as to what it is we need. We’ve been really impressed with your website and the trouble you to take with customers and potential customers so are hoping for your expert advice please.We’re currently sleeping on a 12 year old Cumfilux Orthopedic (Sprung). We didn’t actually feel that the mattress itself is that bad (we’re now thinking it might be exacerbating some of our issues!) but in anycase have decided that we would like to upgrade from a Double to Super King. We started off under the illusion that we needed a firm mattress but after a lot of research realised that we probably need to soften up. We were also under the illusion that £1k would buy us a good mattress!Up until this weekend we’d tried only firm mattresses but when talking to a retailer about our various aches etc he asked us to try:-•Tempur Cloud 27cm, which I loved but my partner really doesn’t want to sleep on foam and is very concerned about heat / fumes. So I think we’ll be going for a pocket sprung•Vi Spring Devonshire (Medium/Firm). I also went on to try a soft tension in same which I think was on a firm base rather than sprung. We both unfortunately really loved the Devonshire……To be perfectly frank both are out of our price range but especially so the Vi Spring. So I am hoping that you can recommend something from your range and also ask your opinion as to what tensions you think would suit usMe, weight fluctuates between 10-11st. 5’ 2”,Partner, 13st, 6’Between us we’ve got lower back pain, hip and shoulder painI’ve always like sleeping on a pretty firm mattress but think I need something softer and really enjoyed the sinking but supportive feeling from both of the aboveWe’d like a Superking, Divan and due to access issues we think we need zip & link.If you do recommend something from your range – is there a similar one we could try out in a retail store to get a feeling of what it might be like? My other half is struggling with the concept of buying a bed online without trying it so I’m going to need to do some good convincing….Thanks in advance
Hi there,
Thank you for your question.
The first thing to clarify is that with your particular body weights, a medium spring tension is the most appropriate to opt for, however, I note that you have a Cumfilux Orthopedic mattress at present. Most mattresses with the word ortho or orthopedic in the name are on the firm side and would not be the most suitable for your body weights. I am very surprised that you have managed to use your current one for so long before finding it uncomfortable. An over firm mattress is likely to aggravate any underlying joint or lumbar issues.
Vi-Spring manufacture naturally upholstered mattresses and although we do not make direct comparisons in terms of the upholstery layers, we do have comparable products in terms of the overall feel and the the upholstery used is also natural. In this respect, I would refer you to our Artisan range and in particular, the Artisan Luxury, which is comparable in feel to the Vi-Spring Devonshire.
If you chose this mattress, which can be made with a medium spring tension, it will have the soft upholstery layers providing the similar feel required. The fact that you have tried the Vi-Spring Devonshire and liked it is sufficient for me to be confident in recommending the Artisan Luxury. As far as buying online without actually trying a mattress in concerned, we do offer a 60 day “love it or return it” guarantee on all our products. We endeavour to match the customer to the product and in 96% of instances we get this spot on, which is why we are confident in offering this guarantee. It should not, however, be viewed as a “try before you buy” option.
Price wise the Artisan Luxury represents excellent value for money and is somewhat cheaper than the Vi-Spring model you refer to. Once you have viewed this product via the link herein, please call our office on 0161 437 4419, for more specific advice as to suitability. I trust that this helps.
Kind regards Julie
