Origins pocket latex questions

Spencer asked
15th September 2012

Hi John & Ryan. Me and the Mrs went mattress shopping today and have come back thoroughly confused!

I want to try before I buy then buy the most comfortable I can afford. Today’s trip narrowed this down to two – both pocket sprung with memory foam. £690 for a Knolo Cloud 2000 and £630 for a Salus 1500 – both very comfy in the showroom. However, now I’ve had a good read through your site I’m convinced by your advice to go for latex instead of memory foam so I’m very tempted by your Origins Pocket Latex 1500. I remember the first mattress I ever bought (cheap bankrupt stock) was a Dunlopillo and it was fantastic. A couple of questions. 1) How can I try one out??

2) I take it this in not the same as the Joseph Oracle Pocket Latex 1500??

How do they compare??

Thanks, Spencer .

Hi Spencer.

Thank you for your enquiry on our website.   The Dunlopillo mattress you previously had is not the same as they are today – and furthermore – not all latex is the same.  To answer your second question, our Origins Pocket Latex 1500 is certainly not the same as The Oracle.  If you had some comparable data on that particular model we would be in a better position to break it down part by part in order to point out the differences.  I have looked at the models you mentioned which are memory foam pillowtop mattresses, not latex.  Both of these mattresses are a medium in the comfort layer whereas the Origins Pocket Latex 1500 is a medium firm feel.  I wouldn’t recommend this mattress for side sleepers.

 

 

As Dunlopillo are the market leaders you really should be hunting these out and if they fall outside your budget you will be in a better position to make any necessary compromises in order to get the best you can afford.  We have comparables to the some of the Dunlopillo mattresses in our Fusion range.  I would also say that you should consider (or at least try and discount) the range of traditionally built mattresses.  This will put into perspective the quality and value of our Artisan range.

As Vi-Spring is noted to be the bed industry’s leader it would be wrong not to see what they offer and of course, if you fall in love with them (which you will) your task of finding similar for less becomes easy.  It is also worth noting that Vi-Spring does not use memory foam or indeed latex in any of their products.  They are traditionalists who only use natural fibres and there is a good reason for this.

Finally, Spencer, there are over four thousand mattresses out there – you’ve tried two!  It’s easier starting at the top (the best) and working down rather than starting at the bottom and working up.  A budget of less than £1000 is not considered that high and so you should be looking to find the most mattress you can get for your money – the time you spend on your research now will pay dividends in the long run.

 

If we can be of any further assistance please get in touch with our office on 0161 437 4419.  We are open Monday to Friday 8 am – 8 pm and Saturday and Sunday      10 am – 4 pm.

Kind Regards
