Help comparing mattresses

Hi,


I recently tried the Silentnight 'Rapport' mattress from Carpetright and loved it.
Unfortunately, by the time I made the decision the price went back up.


I am trying to compare the Rapport with the Silentnight Geltex Affinity 1350 and the Silentnight Geltex Select 1400 (both of the latter are unavailable in stores)


I have tried contacting Silentnight direct but they have pointed me towards another more expensive model and it's confusing (I don't know much about mattresses).


Could someone help me compare the differences between the 3? I can't find any myself (except for the 50 less spring count on the Affinity 1350).


Thanks for your help.

    This isn't going to sound a helpful answer, I fear, although it is truly intended as such. The crucial difference isn't in the specification; it will be how the mattress feels - and the only way to test that is to physically lie on one. Are you close enough to a stockist to do that?

    Unfortunately the only places that stock either of these mattresses are 4+ hours away so I'm a bit stuck in that regard :(

    I'd personally be wary if I emailed a company I was going to spend a lot of money with and they didn't give me an answer but tried to get me to spend more money than I wanted or had planned to. I' be worried if I did experience any issues in the future that they'd be unresponsive and I'd have the stress of trying to get them to help me. For that reason I'd want to shop elsewhere...but that's just me. ;)
