Hi There,
 
Thank you for your question.
 
It may be worth boarding over your sprung (curved) slatted base to avoid what is referred to as the ‘hump back bridge effect’ from occurring. You can board over the slatted area of the base using a 3-5mm piece of MDF or Plywood. 
 
The Origins Pocket Reflex 1000 is the firmer of our starter range. This pocket-sprung hand made mattress gives a medium support with firmer top layers; the excellent ‘all rounder’.

The mattresses in the Origins range come with a medium spring tension as standard. The models wil provide a different feel dependent on your body weight. At 7 stone this mattress will provide you with a firm feel. 
 
The Artisan range has two firmer feeling models, The Artisan 1500 and The Artisan Bespoke. 
 
The Artisan Bespoke is our firmest 100% natural fibre mattress providing a medium support with firmer feeling top layers for those wanting a firmer feel. Completely tailored calico pocket springs for your body weight.
It’s no use being coy about this. Our Artisan Bespoke is based quite clearly on the build quality of many of Vi Spring and Savoir models. We state quite openly that our Artisan Bespoke is “The best mattress your money can buy”. .. And the following is our reasoning. ..
To present our case, our Artisan Bespoke is described and detailed to the extreme in order to give you all the initial information you need to make an educated and informed comparison;

The Artisan 1500 is a hand crafted natural and man made fibre mattress giving exceptional comfort and support for the price. This mattress simply can’t be beaten given the components and price. The 1500 contains 53% natural fibres and the other 47% are synthetic, this will achieve a cooler sleep surface than a man made mattress but at a lower price than most other natural fibre mattresses.
