Hello Artisan Luxury says its the softest mattress you do but then says its not springy and the overall feel is Medium? I want a mattress that I can sink into and feels a bit bouncy, if I chose the soft tension for the springs would that give me the feeling I want from the mattress. My weight is 7st 12lbs and my husband is 11st at the moment we have a Dormeo memory foam that says its Soft but two years later its still like laying on a board we both hate it.thanks for any helpeileen

Hi Eileen,

The Artisan Luxury has the softest feel in the upholstery layers and can be made with either soft, medium or firm springs to provide the appropriate support for relevant body weights. These top upholstery layers will provide that soft eveloping feeling with the springs providing the support. For your body weight, I would suggest that you opt for a soft spring tension and your husband’s body weight would normally dictate a medium spring tension. However, this can be different dependent upon personal preference, so if your husband prefers an overall soft feel, he could also opt for the soft spring tension. If he doesn’t, then you may need to look at going for a split tension soft and medium to provide you both with the comfort and support required.

If you do want a mattress that has a bouncier feel to it, i would have a look at our Artisan Bespoke 002 mattress. This mattress comes with a dual spring unit and has a more medium feel in the comfort level, in this mattress the advice would be the same soft springs on one side and medium on the other.
