Will Artisan Naturals be right choice for me
Hi, We are looking to buy a new bed and have found your site of great help and have spent the last few nights reading all the information. I am 5’ 10” and weigh 12.5/13 stone, my partner weighs 8 stone and is 5’ 4” The arrangement we have now which is a 4’ 6” pocket sprung mattress on a slatted bed seems too firm for me and causes me to suffer from lower back pain, but partner does not suffer in any way. Our budget is between £750 and £1,000 for a king size base and mattress. Ideally I am leaning towards a sprung edge divan base. So I believe the ideal would be the Artisan Naturals but at £1575 is outside my budget but should I push it?
Otherwise I feel it comes down to:- Origins Pocket Latex 1500 at £1045 for no particular reason I am unsure about latex and a no turn mattress. Would it be possible or right to consider your Sequence Pocket Suspension or Origins Pocket 1500 on sprung edge base?
at £920/£845. Just for consideration I have also seen the Millbrook Countess 2000 Divan At £790. Your advice and suggestions would be gratefully appreciated. Regards, Stuart .
Hi Stuart.
This is interesting in the fact that your partner at 4st less than you does not have any complaint about the firmness of your current mattress and it would be interesting to find out why that is – theoretically it doesn’t make sense.
Your body weight at 12-13st is not excessive to say the least.
Therefore, it would be equally interesting to know the model of the mattress you currently have that causes you such dissatisfaction.
As for which mattress / set to opt for, I agree that a sprung edged divan will be the initial right choice but also it seems that a ‘forgiving’ mattress will satisfy both your needs.
Ideally, the Artisan Naturals is a perfect choice, and although it may fall outside many peoples budget it really is a fabulous mattress for the price asked.
By comparison, the offerings from Dreams / Benson’s etc, for a similar price bracket will put this model into perspective.
Another thing to keep in mind is the quality of upholstery contained within the mattress.
This can easily be described as a scale >Polyester (cheapest upholstery) which forms the bulk of all mattresses >foam > memory foam > Latex > Natural Fibres.
A simplistic overview I agree, but knowing this will enable you to put your purchase (and budget) into context.
The basis of your question asks if it is worth spending £500 more for the Artisan Naturals than the Origins Pocket 1500 and I would say Yes!
If you look at the descriptions side by side you will see where this £500 or so extra is going.
Ultimately, £1500 or so for a bed set is not considered overly expensive.
