Review: Airsprung Ortho Pocket 1200
Over the years when it’s come round to replacing my bed I’ve found myself opting for a slightly firmer feel bed than the one before.
I don’t know if this is because my posture has slowly worsened as the years go by or because them Friday night Chinese takeaways have finally caught up with me and I’m not the slim youth I though I was!
Either way i was pleased to see a range of beds from Airsprung that cater for the firmer feel end of the market.
I usually budget myself to around £350 for a 4FT 6 double bed as I like to try get the better spring system in the range which is usually a pocket spring.
I like pocket springs because sleeping with my partner allows us both to get the right support for our body weight and with me been not the stillest of sleepers it means my partner isn’t waking up every 20 minutes as the whole mattress doesn’t follow my every movement.
So with these parameters on board I opted for the Ortho Pocket 1200. This bed offers 1200 pocket springs within the mattress with a layer of fillings offering less surface give. The mattress has a hand tufted finish which I feel gives a better comfort feel when lying on it and I even opted for a platform top divan base over a sprung edge which makes the mattress even move firmer due to the less give in the base.
This bed retails for just over £300 which i find is very competitive price for a pocket sprung bed. This model also gives you the option of storage drawers. I opted for 2 drawers as I always find its good to have somewhere to store extra duvets and pillow cases etc.
All in all I was very happy with my purchase. I have found Airsprung to be a reliable manufacturer of beds over the years and have yet to find a comparable manufacturer that can deliver the same quality at the same price.
