Hi Richard.

As always, if budget allows I would steer you towards our Artisan Naturals mattress. This mattress can be made with dual spring tensions [Soft / Medium] so it will be suitable for your wife’s light frame and also yours.

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

The tricky part of this exercise will of course be your wife.  Even using the softest gauge spring coupled with the quantity of upholstery used she still may find it on the medium side.

If you require a soft mattress in the top upholstery layers which will enable you to sink into the mattress but with the correct support, you would be looking at our Artisan Luxury which is the softest mattress that we make.

We would always advise though that it is better to buy a slightly firmer mattress opposed to a soft mattress due to the fact that you can always soften down a firm mattress by adding a topper whereas there is nothing that you can do to firm up a soft mattress.

I would factor in the purchase of a good quality (feather) topper to give your wife an extra element of comfort whilst the mattress breaks in.

Zip and Links are a compromise to one piece mattress.   If the only reason for considering this is the difference in bodyweight between you and your wife then there really is no need to go down this route.

If you require any further information or advice, please telephone our office on 0161 437 4419 and speak to one of our Advisors who will be able to help you.

Kind regards Julie
