Hi Elizabeth,

Thank you for your question.

At 11 stone you would need to opt for a medium spring tension to support this individuals body weight.

Spring TensionWire diameter (Gauge)Weight Range
Soft1.2mmBespoke Tension (Please Call)
Medium1.4mmUpto 16 stone
Firm1.6mm16 stone plus
Extra Firm / Orthopaedic1.9mm20 stone plus

The Artisan Luxury is one of the softer feel mattresses in the Artisan range.
This is one of the best completely 100% natural component arrangements you can possibly get. Substantially well upholstered (4600 GSM) utilising horsehair and Wool in a sandwich layout topped off with a blended wool and cotton primary layer.
The nearest comparable model we can find to this is the Vi-Spring Devonshire in terms of comfort. The luxury however includes horse hair and horse tail, which the Devonshire does not, making it a considerably higher specification mattress. The horse hair and horse tail layers provide support for the softer wool layers to prevent excess settlement
