Hi Terry,

 

Thank you for your enquiry on our website.  My advice would be Don’t do it!  For £500 or so this model does not seem to have a great deal of upholstery contained. The pillowtop is a flawed design and visually it seems that the bulk of the upholstery is contained in this one layer.  The term used for their upholstery is “Reactaflex Fibres” and goes on to say “..similar properties to memory foam but without the requirement for heat. They control temperature, remove moisture and keep the mattress dry which are all essential for great night’s sleep.” Being the cynic I am I would be inclined to question further and ask them to explain what the core material is used in their “Reactaflex fibres” – I would stake a hefty sum of this being majority polyester product and/or a similar product to I-Fibre. I would also be interested in knowing how this material can indeed “Control temperature and remove moisture”

 

Origins Pocket spring 1500 mattress

 

The price range of £500 or thereabouts is the most popular price range and therefore there are literally hundreds of models you can choose from.  Our offering is our Origins Pocket 1500 which is a good all-round medium feel mattress and feel free to use the specification we provide to show you what you can reasonably expect to have for this level of budget.

 

I trust this was helpful and if you require any further information please do not hesitate to contact the office on 0161 437 4419.

 

Kind Regards
