Hi Orla,
 
Thank you for your question.
 
At the body weights you have provided you would both require a medium spring tension for support.

16 Stone / 101kg UpwardsFirm (1.6mm)
Available in Bespoke Products (Please Call)Soft (1.2mm)

 
The Origins Pocket 1500 is the medium feel model from the Origins range. At £575.00 for a Double this is our best selling made in the UK man made and natural fibre mattress. Offering a quality 1500 pocket-spring unit and layers of fillings for a medium overall feeling. Unbeatable value given its quality.

The Artisan 1500 is a hand crafted natural and man made fibre mattress giving exceptional comfort and support for the price. This mattress simply can’t be beaten given the components and price, £895.00 for a Double mattress.
