Questions about Harrisons Emerald, Sapphire and Diamond mattress

Hi. My wife and I are looking for a new bed and have been looking at the Harrisons bed range, particularly their Emerald 9000, Sapphire 11000 or Diamond 13000 mattresses, and then with their bed frame – this has the same 1000 pocket springs as their divan but with a nicer look (the numbers above for each mattress are representative of the pocket spring numbers for the mattress) We’re looking for a zip link as my wife is much lighter than myself (she is 53kg and I’m 74kg), so she would get a ‘gentle’ firmness and myself the medium. We’re looking at the superking size as I’m 6ft and always struggle to ‘fit’ in a bed, even our current kingsize. We currently have a Millbrook 2500 pocket sprung mattress with a memory foam top on a sprung edge divan, using a simple synthetic topper which came with the mattress as part of the warranty criteria. As these Harrison mattresses are typically coming in at over £2000, we want to make sure we’re not making a mistake before purchasing from them. Your site and articles have thrown up a lot of subjects which I’m really glad I started looking at before putting down the money on an order, however, I do have a few questions: 1. Are the Harrison mattresses above of good quality (GSM, CUW, ratios of blends, etc) 2. Would the ‘gentle’ for my wife and the medium for myself sound right?

I ask as I sat on the ‘gentle’ option in a retail store too for comparison and thought I would sink right into it – I just don’t want her to end up also sinking in 6-12 months time after the fillings have settled, leaving us wishing we’d just picked a non zip-and-link superking with medium across the whole mattress. 3. Should we get a topper?

I read above that it will add to the comfort and mattress protection, however I’m just concerned that more fabric sat on top of the mattress will deaden the movement and feel of the premium fillings inside, making it a little redundant to have paid for a higher end mattress in the first place. Would a more basic mattress with a really plush topper achieve the same result?

4. What other alternative products should we consider given the thinking above (we’ve looked at other options – Millbrook Boutique 3000, Hypnos Beethoven and Relyon Henley beds, however they all seem to offer a lower spec of mattress for the same/higher cost). 5. Which of your mattresses would be a good comparison for equivalent spec to, say, the Harrison Sapphire 11000 6. Which of your mattresses would be a good comparison for the equivalent price to the Harrison Sapphire 11000 (and what would be the advantages of your mattress) Really appreciate your help, your website it blowing the doors open for me on how to buy with confidence as an informed consumer. Please keep it up, I know I’ll be coming to you for your thoughts again. Kind regards, Daniel Brown
