Hi, i am a 17stone, 5`10″ man and my wife is 5`1″, 9 stone. We are looking at replacing our sprung base divan with a pocket sprung mattress. I have back problems and hip problems and am considering a pocket sprung base and mattress as replacement with a gel topper. Please advise your best solution.
Many Thanks.

Hi Terry,

Thank you for your question.

With the weight differential and heights, the optimum solution would be a split tension mattress, medium for your wife and firm for you, either in a one piece or zip and link set. The split tension mattresses are available in our Artisan range and all mattresses in this range are paired with a firm edge sprung base.

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

Please view the Artisan products an in particular the Artisan 1500, Artisan Tailored Pocket 2000, Artisan Naturals and the Artisan Bespoke 004.  All of these mattresses will give you both a medium comfort from the upholstery layers making the mattress neither too soft nor too firm.  The difference between these mattresses is the amount of natural fillings ranging from 50/50 to 100%.   The more natural fillings in a mattress, the higher the cost.

Once you have viewed these products, please call our office for more specific advice as to suitability on 0161 437 4419.  I trust that this helps.

Kind regards Julie
