Origins Latex or Origins Pocket mattress?
Hi John Firstly thank you for the very informative and well put together website. After a number of trips to various mattress shops and a lot of searching on the net I came across your site by chance – what a pleasure to find somewhere that has a small selection and good explanations of what you are buying as opposed to a confusing and complicated selection of options and marketing jargon. I am trying to decide between the Origins Pocket 2000 Kingsize and the Origins Pocket Latex 1500. I am 182cm tall and weigh about 70kg. At the moment I live alone so the mattress is just for me. Generally I prefer a relatively firm mattress. They both sound good and are similarly priced so I am not sure which to choose?
Kind regards. Angela.

Hi Angela.
These two matts are completely different in construction and so the decision will have to be based on what comfort layer will suit you best – either latex or polyester/wool.
The spring count difference 1500 or 2000 is nominal and because of your light bodyweight it will be unlikely you will be utilising the springs to their full.
| Bodyweight | Spring tension |
|---|---|
| Upto 16 Stone / 50-101kg | Medium (1.4mm) |
| 16 Stone / 101kg Upwards | Firm (1.6mm) |
| Available in Bespoke Products (Please Call) | Soft (1.2mm) |
With the Origins Latex you will be getting additional support from the latex but it will also be cradling using only what it needs to – but also exceptionally comfortable.

| 3 | 3cm Talalay Latex (60/40% blend) 70kg Density |
| 4 | One inch HD Foam |
| 5 | 1500 Spun Bond Pocket Springs |
The Origins 2000 has the support but the primary layers are polyester topped with wool.
Comfortable – but without the extra support that the latex offers.

|---|---|
| 1 | 300gsm Wool |
| 2 | 750gsm Very Soft Polyester |
| 3 | 500gsm Polyester Pad |
| 4 | One Inch Foam Insulator Layer |
| 5 | 1500 Spun Bond Pocket Springs |
With you preferring a relatively firm mattress then I think the Origins Latex 1500 ticks all your boxes.
Hope this helps.
