Spink and Edgar Elite comparisons?

Hi David.

Sorry, but short answer is No.

A point to note is that only Harrisons use Hemp[ure] in their blends as well as an actual component part.

Something else to consider and not usually at the forefront of your mind when trying electric adjustable mattresses is that there is no perimeter support other than HSS (Hand Side Stitching).Therefore if you sit on the edge of the mattress [socks on syndrome] you will find the mattress depression is probably more than you will be used to.This applies to all mattresses utilising calico encased pocket springs (such as Vi-Spring etc) where the perimeter banding has been removed, and although not a fault as such, it can be frustrating if through limited mobility sitting on the edge of the mattress becomes a balancing act, even more so when combined with a sprung edge base.

As a point of note, for use with electric adjustable beds there is no way that perimeter banding can be used – otherwise there would be no flexibility when head or foot sections are raised so bear this in mind prior to purchase as we have seen normal pocket sprung matts sold with adjustable beds and they do have a tendency to slide and of course buckle when raised.

We have our calico encased springs/” title=”pocket spring”>pocket spring mattresses manufactured with perimeter banding one spring row in. We cannot understand why manufacturers like Vi-Spring etc all remove this banding once the pocket springs are formed. The benefits of additional edge support far outweighs any reason to remove – except for the case of adjustable’s as outlined above.

None of our Pocket sprung mattresses are suitable to use on an adjustable bed. Our Fusion range is made up of a combination of Latex and Foams. The two models without toppers, Fusion 5 and Fusion 6 can be used with an adjustable base. We compare the Fusion range to the Dunlopillo range.

I am familiar with the model you mention and would recommend that you also look at other models in a similar price range that would be suitable for electric adjustable’s, This way you will have alternative options to consider. Rather than looking at spring counts – take note of the weight of the fillings and how they have been used.

I’m afraid this is too vast a subject to sum up in a couple of paragraphs and we are working on posts (when time allows) to draw attention to the myriad of ‘ifs and buts’ of natural fibre mattresses, just as we have done with mass produced matts.

I hope this helps, but as always please feel free to contact us again if you need any further information or you would like to discus the products i have mentioned from our Fusion range. The office telephone is 0161 437 4419.

Kind regards,
Amy.
