Staples and Co Artisan Grand Mattress

Most commonly is the case with high numbers like this, 4000 to 5000 of these springs will be responsive or mini springs which sit on top of the core support layer of full sized springs to provide additional support and body contouring. There is a point of diminishing returns once you start getting to numbers this high, but it's a great indicator that you are buying the top of the range and highest of quality.

A posture plus edge system occurs where additional firm springs are placed along all edges of the mattress to make for a firmer edge that gives you a full edge-to-edge nights sleep that also gives great support that when sitting on the end of the product.

Blended fibres are a common comfort layer that sits in the top of the mattress and delivers increased comfort that has been endorsed by the GOTS, the leading organic textile standard. 

Wool is a great option for the comfort layer of mattresses for a number of reasons. First, it is breathable enough to allow air to flow sufficiently to ensure great all-season long cooling that won't have you too hot, or too cold. Additional to this you have other advantages like durability, flexibility, flame and water resistance. Ultimately wool is a sustainable and renewable option that is environmentally friendly and supremely comfortable.

Sourced from the UK, this Alpaca Wool is stronger and lighter than wool while being more resilient and harder wearing. All of this means a more durable mattress that should last longer than equivalent models  utilising different comfort layers.

You know what is more comfortable than luxurious silk fibres? Us neither, this material is especially soft and makes for plenty of additional comfort. The silk fibres are naturally organic and are created without the use of chemicals or treatments.

Pillow top's operate as an additional secured layer that gives further comfort at the cost of having an unremovable layer that mimics many of the properties of a traditional mattress topper. The pillow top can be somewhat divisive as some prefer a simple topper for additional versatility. Regardless though, a well maintained pillow top will give additional softness with reasonable settlement that should make for a deeper and more comfortable nights sleep.

There are a few benefits to hand tufting, namely that the procedure creates a more uniform comfort and feel while also increasing overall support. Further to this hand tufting reduces bounce slightly creating a more predictable sleep surface that increases durability.

Non turn mattresses have a few benefits, most importantly that they do not need to be flipped, saving time effort and energy that can be better focussed toward getting a good nights sleep. Do be aware however that you should still be rotating your mattress in line with the manufacturers guidelines for the product.
