Salus memory pocket mattress questions
Hi John and Ryan, Further to my question below and having read a little more about your products I feel I should add that I’m around 12 stone and my wife is about 10 stone, I mention this as your range appears to be geared toward a heavier body weight and I fear you may be unable to offer a soft medium/soft feel to suit us.
We are considering a Tempur Biaritz ottoman base which we have seen at an independent retailer at a very good price, having looked around this model appears to be exceptionally well constructed and has a five year warranty.
Tempur mattresses however are ludicrously expensive and we are unwilling to pay the asking price.
The retailler has offered a Salus Memory pocket 1500 Trio at £599.99 as an alternative and we are wondering what you think of this mattress and what you would recommend from your range as an alternative to go directly onto a slatted base.
Incidentally we tried the Salus as a soft and as a medium and preferred the soft density.
Hope you can help, thanks.

Hi Tony.
First of all I would look at the Hybrid 4 or Hybrid 5 as a comparison in feel to the Tempur mattresses.
Personally, I would be cautious of any memory foam mattress – for many reasons we do not sell these or supply.
Unless you have had one before you will either love them or hate them.
Finding out which camp you are in will not show itself until you have slept on one for a couple of nights and in many cases will be too late for you to do anything.
Your bodyweights are on the lighter side of the scale and therefore is equally tricky to get right as is people of a large bodyweight.
Spring support for you becomes less important and the quality of fillings / comfort layers become the key factor.
Our mattresses may seem to be geared for people of higher bodyweights than yours, but that is not through design.
There really are limited techniques that can adequately produce a mattress of quality for very light bodyweights.
| 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) |
The softest spring support we can use is a 1.3mm calico.
This can be used in any of our top three models – Artisan Naturals / Artisan Luxury / Artisan Bespoke.
The Biaritz is a lovely looking set, and I would be interested at how much a discount you are able to get this for.
The RRP and core base price is £1300 for the Kingsize.
I would ensure that the warranty covers full replacement of the gas struts used and that there are no clauses to prevent a claim on these being made i.e Use of Non Tempur mattresses for example.
Hope this helps.
Kind Regards Gary
