Comfort 1000 or Artisan 1500?

Carol asked
18th January 2016

Hi
I’m 5’4″ & weigh 9 stone. My current bed is causing hip, lower back, neck and shoulder pain. Thanks to your excellent website I’ve dentified a soft tension, pocket sprung mattress will provide the correct support for my weight. As I sleep on my side I also need a mattress with some “give” in it for comfort.
Following advice from your team I’m looking at the Comfort 1000 and the Artisan 1500 beds. I’ve been advised that the Artisan feels firmer than the Comfort but I note the Comfort bed does not come with a sprung base or soft tension springs. To achieve the best combination of spinal support for my weight & best comfort for my sleeping position, should I choose the Comfort 1000 bed or the Comfort 1000 mattress and pair it with an artisan divan base and topper, or would the Artisan bed with a soft topper be better for me?
Thanks
Carol

Hi Carol,

 

Thanks for your question.

 

The Origins Comfort 1000 is the softest mattress that we retail in our Origins range of mattresses, providing as much sink into that top layer as you can find.

 

The Artisan 1500 has a medium upholstery providing a slight sink but not too much.

 

As standard the Origins range of mattresses are paired with a solid platform top base that gives the mattress a slightly firmer feel. Similarly, our Artisan range of mattresses are paired with a sprung base as standard giving the mattress a slightly softer feel.

 

This however, doesn’t mean that you can’t switch the bases. I myself have the Origins Comfort 1000 mattress and have paired it with the Artisan pocket sprung base and wouldn’t change it for the world.

 

 

You don’t need to add a topper straight away; We always advise to give the mattress 4-6 weeks to adjust to it as any new mattress will feel firmer to start with since the spring system nor the fillings have been compressed.

 

If you find it too firm after 4-6 weeks then add a completely separate mattress topper at that stage.

 

I hope this has answered your questions fully but if you do have any further queries please don’t hesitate to contact our office on 0161 437 4419. We are open Monday to Friday 8am to 8pm and Saturday and Sunday 10am to 4pm.

 

Kind Regards, Lee.
