Clearly it’s one that they’ve branded as their own from a different type as I can’t find anything other than Dreams-related about the mattress. From what I can see it’s a 1600 pocket spring dual sided mattress. Do you have any thoughts on what other makes may align to this mattress?
Many thanks. GOAS

Hi GOAS. The Macmillan is currently £899 [KS] I would say that our Artisan Naturals at £895 is a considerably better buy. Even the quality of our spring unit alone should be enough to convince you of this [ours being hand formed calico encased] Everything else is a bonus.

We take it for granted that the spring unit will be a mass produced unit and certainly not hand formed / calico encased. We also list our component parts in great detail – you are welcome to print these off and ask the salesman at Dreams if they have a comparable model – assuming they actually understand what it is you are showing them. Please feel free to give us a call if you want to take this further. John and Ryan.

Although single sided it is just as deep as double sided matresses – does this indicate more padding on the used side? I can get this for around £450. After reading your material i wonder how your Origins Pocket 2000 compares with it?

Weight wise we are 82-85Kg. In bensons I prefer a firmness rating of 4, my partner doesn’t have problems with even firmer. I do not like memory foam. thanks.
Hi Geoff. I think you know of our disdain towards Silentnight. For a similar amount you can get our Origins 1500 or 2000. Full two sided mattresses.

The Neptune is described as:
Built with two indulgent layers of springs – 750 Miracoil springs, for perfect body support in all the areas it’s most needed, topped off with 1350 individual mini-pocket-springs for luxurious comfort. The mini springs are nestled in fabric pockets, and give you gentle resilience for healthy movement.

No mention is made of any kind of weights of filling but for this price I should hazzard a well informed guess that polyester would be the main component. This being the case makes our Origins a far better buy. Give us a call and we can take it further. John and Ryan.

Having looked at their specs and your website, it seems like there could be more details. I can’t even work out if the mattresses are ‘pocket sprung’. They say open sprung, but I’m not sure if that is the opposite!?

Anyhow. I’m about 13 stone and 6 foot, my partner is similar (but lighter!). We like fairly firm mattresses and we’re willing to spend around £800. Also, I tend to get too hot during the night, which affects my sleep. Can you make a recommendation from your range?
Thanks. Fergus.

Hi Fergus. Unfortunately, as with a lot of sites, there is precious little information on what is contained inside the mattress. Being Hypnos though, it will be relatively easy to source a few models of a similar retail price and see what the differences if any, are.

I would say have a look at our Artisan Naturals which comes within your budget. John and Ryan.

we are about to buy your origin 2000 king size mattress and I would like to check if we’re doing the right choice.
We are 8 and 10.5 stones, so reading the description we should take the 1500 springs. But we like very firm support. We used to sleep on a futon and a tatami but it now hurts my back. We have recently bought a tempur deluxe 22cm, which was advertised as firm but we found it much too soft and had the feeling to sink into it.
What would you advise us?
Thanks a lot!
San

Hi San. Normally for your bodyweights Ryan and I would have recommended The Origins Reflex 1000 or indeed The Comfort. However, as your preference is for ‘much’ firmer support The Origins 1500 or even The Origins 2000 will give you the support level you require. If your budget can stretch a little bit further I would wholeheartedly say that The Sequence Suspension would be your ideal mattress. The optimum support is there as well as the cushioning comfort layers without being so soft you sink into it.

If you require any further information please feel free to give Ryan or myself a call. John and Ryan.

Try to knock up a dummy base made from cardboard – Blue Peter Style – 3’3 x 5’0 x 8″ – to see if this goes into the room. John and Ryan.

My daugher has just bought her first home and ordered a king size sealy grand pillow divan. It was delivered only to find that it would not go up the stairs to her attic bedroom! The manager of the shop came out and looked at the problem but thought it would go up the stairs so It was delivered again but it would not go up the stairs.

I have bought her a king size deep buttoned headboard from laura ashley as a house warming present to go with the bed but this is useless at the moment.

We were told that the only solutions would be to either buy a relyon quarter base, a double bed OR a frame base that can be assembled in the bedroom. My daughter would really like a king size bed so that she can use the lovely headboard.

Can you give us any help with a relyon quarter base? We were told that they are very expensive but cannot find out what that means! if you could help with any suggestions we would appreciate it.

Thanks in advance Sue

Hi Sue. Sorry to hear of your predicament.

In the meantime, I am not entirely sure what your man means by a quarter base! I believe this is an option whereby the entire base is segmented into four sections and linked together (sounds vile). John and Ryan.

Hi Marie. Why can’t all questions be this simple to answer?
Absolutely. We can supply exactly what you want without a shadow of a doubt. Have a look at The Artisan Bespoke or The Artisan Naturals both of which utilise calico pockets which being hand formed can be made to an exact size. The base height can also be made to measure . Pricewise they should not be costing more than 10% on a three quarter for the extra length.

Please give Ryan a call and he will be able to go through all the options as well as being able to get more info on your precise requirements. Many thanks. John.

Excellent website. We are buying a King size mattress for our Feather and Black Bed. We have looked at Feather and Black’s mattresses and love the feel of them. We are looking at the Fitzgerald which is retailing for around £1955. It has a spring count of 5000 which seems higher than most others on the market. I would like to compare like with like though. I don’t like buying something without comparing it to other similar mattresses. We want a natural fibre bed which will last well and does not over heat, and therefore I’m writing to ask your advice.

David and Kim.

Hi Dave and Kim. This is a Harrisons mattress. Your only means of any kind of direct comparison will be a Harrison Spinks outlet or John Lewis. I think the model name Fitzgerald is for Feather and Black, but look at the components and a bit of investigative work will produce the same / similar model from other retailers of the same model – different name.

As a starting point, I would ask you to consider our Artisan 1200. About 95% natural but the use of man mades is in areas where the impact on you is negligible. let us know how you get on. John and Ryan.

im looking to buy the Harrison Spinks Super King Bed Express Platinum Collection Mattress 3000, ive found it on the web at £845 but cabnt find a base for it. ive an “and so to bed frame” and it needs a base (i used to have a really luxury mattress and base for it but left that with the ex as you do!!!) and im now looking to reassemble the bed (if i can sort out what screws i need to buy as ive lost em) and really want a super luxury mattress. this one looks like a good feel. can you help???
Leigh

Hi Leigh. First of all, I would contact ASTB to see if they can help re-assemble your base. As regards the mattress, Im afraid I’m not too familiar with the actual fibre content and fibre gsm of this particular vac packed model. If I were you, I would compare it to a similarly priced model under the John lewis label (but also manufactured by Harrisons). You would then get a truer picture of Actual Worth. Call us if you need any further help. John.

First time visitor to your site and I must say I am very impressed! I wonder if you could give me some help…

I am looking to buy a new bed, I must admit I havnt got a clue about beds really, over the past few days have been trying to get my knowledge up to speed. I went into Bensons at the weekend and the salesman told me that ‘pocket sprung’ is the best type of bed to get.

The most expensive bed in the showroom was the Relyon Savoy. I must admit this did ‘feel’ like the best bed. I was interested in the king size model and this was priced at £1100 and had 2200 pocket sprungs.
Now I did a little bit of browsing online and thought I’d managed to find it cheaper, but this turned out to be the ‘Restus’ Savoy (1500 pocket sprungs) and not the one made by Relyon.
I was also slightly put off by some reviews I saw online about the Relyon mattresses losing their shape very quickly, have you heard of this from their range?

Could you tell me if the Relyon or the Restus Savoy are worth buying at this price? Is the Relyon a better bed than the Restus?

If not, could you recommend a couple from your online shop in the £600-£1000 price range?

Many thanks for your help,
Aidan

Hi Aiden. I’m afraid the question may be simple but the answer is not. The following will give you food for thought but feel free to give us a call to clarify any points.

Firstly, Pocket springs are indeed the best you can have. However, there are mass produced units and there are the ultimate calico encased springs that have to be hand formed into units by the mattress manufacturer. I am assuming at this price they will not be calico encased springs but a mass produced unit. Incidentally, the comfort and support differences between these two types of pocket springs are like chalk and cheese

Hi Eli, do you honestly think that this was ever ‘worth’ £3000 as an original sale price? For that kind of money you can get a Vi-Spring high end. Even at £950 for a pillow top mattress seems excessively overpriced for what’s inside – and bear in mind that it does not tell you exactly what is inside! Sounds good – Included is a pillow top with luxury layers of natural cotton, lambs wool, cashmere and silk.but in reality I would eat my hat if they were of any worth.

To give you an idea of what your £950 can get you take a look at our Artisan Naturals 1200 - 3200gsm of wadding [per square meter] is a massive amount [even Milbrook's Jupiter only has 1735gsm - or thereabouts] – our spring count of [approx] 1400 becomes insignificant for the fact that they are premium calico pockets – not polypropylene and our mattress is a full 2 sided model.
