We have been trying to find out how the Ashford and Henley double mattresses compare, given some current offers seen online. However it seems very strange you do not seem to have either of these mattresses on your site if they are made by you! We are trying to ascertain how the two compare, if one if firmer than the other etc, or whether one or other may be more suitable for us given it will be going on a bedframe rather than a divan base. Ideally we would like a medium mattress but it would be useful to know which of these two is firmer than the other etc but we can't seem to find much information on either! Both of us sleep on our sides so we don't want to go too firm. Any further info on how these two products compare would be very useful, thank you
Reply from our Silentnight Expert:
It is worth stating something about the minimum 'grade' of slats on a slatted base.
Wood slats
- slats should be smooth, preferably with chamfered edges to prevent cut through to the mattress underside
- maximum space between slats should be no more than 100mm
- minimum width of slats should be approx. 70mm
- the entire length of the mattress should be supported by slats, i.e.. slat ladder length should be same mattress.
- slats should be secured to bedstead properly to prevent movement of slats
Both mattresses are exclusive to Tesco Direct and therefore, do not feature on our website as they are not widely available in the all high street stores.
The Ashford is 21cm deep. The Henley is 24cm deep.
Comfort is very subject and whilst these mattresses are described as having a medium feel, you may find the Henley more luxurious as a result of the cushion top layer.
