Mattresses - I need knowledge

R.O.S.S.I · 19 Oct 2022 at 17:45

The Origins Pocket 1500 in king size is what we bought back in 2015.
Just looked up the receipt, £515 it was, crazy that it is £810 now!

Are the Simba and Emma type mattresses available in any stores to try? I'm interested to see how they "hybrid" model feels, compared to just a good quality pocket sprung.

I think John Lewis sell them, might be wrong

Might go have a look at some this weekend.

I'm not keen on these memory foam mattresses... It feels weird sinking into it and when you move around, it takes a little time for the foam to return so there is no "spring" if that makes sense.

Bought our Emma Premium end of July this year and we both totally love it.

It never feels cold when getting in, doesn't move when someone gets in or out of bed and for us, is very comfortable.

How often do they have sales on as they are 50-60% off atm.
Might just wait till Black Friday as by that time we should have a good idea of if/when we will complete on our house.

I think that's one of those DFS sales that are always on.
I'm sure I paid around £550 in July and on checking again it is around the £470ish

Anyone any experience of the "Pocket Spring Bed Company". Can't really find too much about them online.
Costco have them on their recent deals.....

Pocket Spring Bed Company Pemberley Mattress & Light Grey...

Thanks to the Pemberley collection, getting into bed has never been so full of luxury! Expertly made, each Pemberley bed and mattress set is given individual attention by master craftsmen. Only the finest materials are ever used, resulting in understated natural luxury. The mattress has 2800...

www.costco.co.uk

2800 pocket springs each respond independently for unsurpassed comfort and exceptional support
The finest lambswool, silk and cashmere filling ensures a luxurious feel
Sumptuous mattress fabric with soft wool pom-pom tufts creates a soft and smooth mattress surface
Double-sided mattress with 4 suitcase style handles and 2 vents
Mattress Construction: Pocket
Mattress Firmness: Medium
Mattress Finish: Tufted
Spring count: 2800
Mattress Depth: 34cm
Divan Type: Full ottoman
Side Stitched: Yes
Filling: Natural Wool, Silk, Cashmere
Turning Instructions: Rotate regularly
Anti-Allergy: Yes
Guarantee: 5 Year Warranty

The 2800 spring count may be a bit of a swizz as 2000 of them are "mini-springs" and the main pocket springs are only 800 in total, but it gets some decent reviews on Costco for just the mattress.

Even the hallowed JR don't know too much about them apart from apparantly being the high-end arm of Silentnight.

Just placed an order for an "Emma Premium" Super King Size with the Halloween "sale" and 5% discount for signing up to the newsletter got it for £786 including a topper as well

Few physical shops we went to over the weekend to "test" the mattresses wanted £1,400 just for the mattress

Yeah, I think they look smart and the "bundle" deal made the mattress / bed / cover and pillow deal a steal for £1100 but SWMBO says no ...

Have the same as you and have had it for a few months now and totally love it, with no complaints at all and that is from two people who have completely opposite opinions on what we need out of one.

Brill, thanks mate and yes, that was.one of the things we both liked when we tested them. That and I can get on / off the bed without catapulting her out the bed

My OH although in the petite size turns over during the night with the force of 12 Bull Elephants and could launch a satellite into near Earth orbit if they placed one on her.

Now, she can destroy worlds, defeat the Devils massed armies and I remain deep in my dreams :cry:

I've raised the bed up 6cm when I fitted a new base + lockable wheels and have found it to be a really nice stable platform when getting in or out.

Which stores did you find had the Emma Premium in to test? I've also been debating whether one of these would be good for us but not sure who stocks them on the high street to go and have a look/go!

We found some at a Furniture Village store.
