Superkingsize zip and link mattress

Jane Harris asked
4th November 2016

Hi,
What should I be looking for regarding a super kingsize zip and link mattress? I’ve been recommended your site by my college for your helpfulness.
Some background:
I’m 5ft 6, my partner 6ft 1
I’m 9stone, my partner 13 stone.
We don’t have a specific side of the bed and swap and change as we feel.
We generally sleep touching.
At the moment, we have 2 little people in our bed every night (a 1 and a 5 year old)!
The only reason for choosing a zip and link to be able to get it up the stairs!
I’ve bought a superking size divan from M&S – the only one I can find that isn’t on a solid base.
At the moment we have a Kingsize Feather & Black pocket sprung mattress – not firm, not soft – we like it.
Our budget is £1,000 or under.
My concern is that we’ll feel the zip, and I’m hoping we can cover that with a mattress topper?
Please let me know if you can help!
Thanks
Jane

Hi Jane,

Thank you for your enquiry.

There are two main reasons for opting for a zip and link set of mattresses, the first is access and the second is where there is a clear differential in terms of body weight. We note that your reason is the former and that you have a budget of up to £1000. Given your particular body weights, we would suggest that you look for a medium spring tension/feel mattress.

Unfortunately, your budget precludes you from opting for one of our naturally upholstered mattresses and so we would suggest that you look at the Origins Pocket 1500, which has synthetic upholstery and will provide an overall medium feel. This product is the best seller in our Origins range as detailed at the foot of this response. As far as feeling the zip is concerned, a good quality mattress protector is usually sufficient to provide a barrier against the possibility of feeling it.

 

We trust that this is of assistance to you, but if you require anything further, please call our office on 0161 437 4419, kind regards.
