Review: Airsprung Symphony 1000 Divan Bed
Thursday, June 4th, 2009
The Symphony 1000 is Airsprung’s entry level pocketspring bed from their Gently Supportive range. 1000 pocket springs have been used in the mattresses to create a medium feel bed.
Pocket springs have always been the superior spring system to use in mattresses, the ability to support weight independently on each spring offers huge benefits over more traditional open coil spring systems. With this system each spring can give the correct support to different parts of the body while not effecting its neighboring spring, this system is also perfect for 2 people sleeping together as movement on one side of the bed will not disturb the sleeper on the other side!
The Symphony base has a patterned ivory finish with steel linking bars on the sides making it easy to link the 2 bases together. Drawer options are available with standard 2 and 4 drawer options been the most popular. The base also has the option of platform top or sprung edge. A platform top is a solid top base which will make the mattress have a slightly firmer feel, Sprung edge includes small springs on top of the base which will offer more give to the mattress and make it a slightly softer feel.
The mattress has a tufted sleeping surface which helps hold the fillings of the mattress in place and is very comfortable to sleep on. The mattress borders has 2 rows of side stitching to help hold all the springs in place, it also includes handles for turning the mattress and vents to help the mattress breathe.
A standard 4FT 6 Double will retail for around £350 which makes it a good price point for a pocket sprung bed. If budget allows the Echo is a good upgrade offering more springs and ultimately more support but the Symphony holds its own in this category.
