Vi Spring Shetland Superb mattress questions
Hi John and Ryan, I left a comment on your site a couple of weeks ago, but now can’t find it – so I thought I would email you instead. We spoke several times last year about soft mattresses. I am 5 foot 2, seven stone, and have arthritic hips. I am naturally a side-sleeper, but can’t sleep on my side as my Vi-Spring medium mattress is too hard, despite having a goose-feather topper on it, with a memory foam topper on top of that (yes, I need a ladder to get into bed). I’ve been looking at your 6-pocket Laygel hybrids, but am not sure that they would feel soft to me if they feel soft/medium to people who are two stone heavier than I am. When we last spoke, you said you may well be producing something really soft in the future, so I was wondering if you have meanwhile developed something that might be suitable?
The one mattress I really liked when I tried it was a very well-used Vi-Spring Shetland Superb on display in a store in York – but when I tried another, less well used, one in ASTB, it felt much harder and less comfortable. Any advice would be very welcome indeed!
Kind regards, Helena
Hi Helena, I wouldn’t recommend the Hybrid 6 for your weight, it will feel more of a medium given your proportions.
The only mattress I would recommend is either the Origins Comfort or the Artisan Luxury, both of which are our softest mattresses.
The origins is our starter spun bond pocket spring model with synthetic fibres where as the Artisan Luxury is a natural fibre calico encased pocket sprung mattress.
Please give us a call if you want us to go into more detail on these with you.
