Tempur Sensation Deluxe mattress comparison
Hi there, I’ve really enjoyed browsing your websites and am v interested to lean that you now sell latex mattresses. Having trawled all the big shops lots of times, my favourite mattresses are the Tempur sensation deluxe and those at the top end of the John Lewis naturals collection (cashmere 14000, silk 12000, angora 10000, wool 7000). As we can’t easily afford any of these products, buying a mattress is something that has now been a work in progress for us for well over a year!
I think it is entirely possible that one of your mattresses could be the solution to our problem, as it seems from what I have read that some of your models are comparable to those high street models I have mentioned. My husband has no hard feelings about whether we go for a pocket sprung product or a Tempur, but he is not as impressed with Tempur as I am. He also perspires a lot in bed and I’ve read that Tempur products can make people very hot, which would make me wary. We need a superking mattress and currently have a zip and link. I am not sure we’d get a superking mattress up the stairs, so will probably stick to a zip and link option. My initial question is this – would it be possible to buy mixed zip and link products from you – i.e. a latex mattress linked to a pocket sprung?
I believe this would suit us down to the ground. However, if the answer to this is no, then we obviously need to figure out exactly which of the two types of product we want and take it from there. Obviously the height of the mattresses would need to be equal, for example, and this might not be possible. Also, could you confirm whether your latex products are akin to Tempur please?
If not, could you recommend something we are likely to be able to try in a high street store to get an idea of the feel of your latex mattresses please?
I’ll look forward to your response and any advice you may be able to offer. Kind regards, Paula
Hi Paula,
You certainly have been busy doing your research which means you’re in a better position than most to finding a suitable mattress!
Firstly if your husband is a warm sleeper I’d advise against tempur or any memory foam mattresses as these are heat retentive. It’s how they work, they use heat to mould so will retain heat from your body. This is the drawback of such foams.
I’m going to exclude the temper sensation for this heat issue from my advice.
Latex isn’t heat retentive so it cooler but due to its density will still be warmer than say a traditional pocket sprung mattress, but again latex has a more progressive comfort to it.
As you can see you’re trading off all sorts of benefits and draw backs when choosing a mattress material!
You’ve preempted my reply in that it would’t be possible to do a zip and link solid core latex like the fusion range and a pocket sprung mattress like the Artisan Naturals range.
This is firstly because of the height difference. Also the two different materials will compress and bed down at different rates so we wouldn’t advise trying to match up the two. You could be left with an uneven overall bed surface if one compresses quicker than the other.
Further to this the overall mattress could behave quite strangely as latex has a slow progressive soft sink and a pocket sprung bed may have a more robust comfort feel to it.
I know this may sound confusing, its not that ones more robust in terms of durability Paula, but the materials have different sensations to them.
Latex and Tempur mattresses are completely different fish Paula.
100% Natural Latex is a premium mattress material that has pressure relieving qualities like Tempur and memory foam buts its much more responsive. i.e. it comes back to its original shape far quicker than a heat retentive foam such as memory foam.
Trying to compare them is very difficult but I have written about latex vs memory foam on the site.
If you want to compare I’d go an have a look at the dunlopillo range of latex mattresses we provide comparisons on each fusions range in the shop to see which exact models they compare to.
Lastly I’d advise you give us a call directly 0161 437 4419 to discuss the zip and link options John Ryan By Design offer.
Kind Regards,
