What mattress would you recommend for 10 st and 17 st sleepers

Paul Jones asked

28th November 2016

We have a king size slatted base bed and would like a new mattress. I am 17 stone and my wife is 10 stone.
Our budget is around £600-800 tips.
We currently have a 10 year old silent night New York pocket sprung with a separate memory foam topper. I hate the memory foam as it makes me sweat and the mattress is now totally knackered!
Over to you please, as we’re now addled by the choice and extortionate cost of Hypnos or other big brand beds – I like you open and honest site and would like a good night’s sleep !!!! 🙂

Hi Paul,

Thanks for getting in touch and sorry to hear your mattress has given up the ghost on you. 10 years is pretty good though!

Given the difference in weight, we would recommend a split tension or Zip and Link mattress.

We would recommend a medium tension for your partner and a firm spring tension for you. These split tensions are available in our Artisan Range.

Bodyweight	Spring tension
Upto 16 Stone / 50-101kg	Medium (1.4mm)
16 Stone / 101kg Upwards	Firm (1.6mm)
Available in Bespoke Products (Please Call)	Soft (1.2mm)

Please have a look at the Artisan 1500 which can be made in either a split tension or a Zip and Link. It features deep layers of natural fibres and would give you both a medium feel in the top layer and medium support with the spring tensions recommended above.

If you need any more help or advice please give us a call on 0161 437 4419.

Please bear in mind at this time of the year that deliveries before Christmas must be ordered by the 1st of December as everything is hand made and we have a 4 week lead time.

Kind Regards, Lee.
