Which spring tension would be suitable?

Catherine Silvester asked
1st December 2016

Hi,I am interested in buying a double Artisan Naturals mattress and base from the outlet store but am unsure if the soft or medium tension would be most suitable for us.
I am just under 9 stones and my husband is just under 12 stones and neither of us like a firm feel mattress. Would it be better to buy a king size zip and link instead?
Thanks.

Hi Catherine,

Many thanks for your enquiry.

With your particular body weights, we would normally recommend a soft spring tension for you and a medium for your husband, however, split tension mattresses are not available in a double size. On that basis, we would therefore suggest that you opt for a medium spring tension and if this feels too firm for you, you could apply a mattress topper.

BodyweightSpring tension
Upto 16 Stone / 50-101kgMedium (1.4mm)
16 Stone / 101kg UpwardsFirm (1.6mm)
Available in Bespoke Products (Please Call)Soft (1.2mm)

Artisan Naturals mattress

Please also note that zip and link mattresses are only available in king size and above. We trust that this helps, but if you require any further advice or guidance, please call our office on 0161 437 4419.

Kind regards Julie
