Are the Europa 7,000 and Gold 9,500 the same mattress?

No. They share the same manufacturer and several important construction features, but their supplementary spring layers and natural upholstery aren't identical.

Both are turn-free Harrison Spinks mattresses featuring Cortec™ Quad Revolution® springs, three rows of side stitching and Gentle, Medium or Firm support options.

How do their spring systems compare?

The Europa combines its Cortec™ spring system with HD 3,000 micro springs. The Gold uses HD 3,000 and HD 2,500 micro springs together with Posturfil pocket springs.

The difference between 7,000 and 9,500 therefore represents a change in the combination of supplementary springs rather than simply 2,500 extra conventional pocket springs.

How do the natural fillings differ?

The Europa contains blended British wool and viscose, British wool, natural cotton and Sustainable Ecotex.

The Gold retains the wool and viscose and Sustainable Ecotex elements while using British wool, hemp and flax and cotton, hemp and flax blends. Both mattresses use breathable natural upholstery, although their precise fibre combinations differ.

I liked the Europa 7,000 – should I try the Gold 9,500?

Yes, the Gold 9,500 is a strong Harrison Spinks model to compare with the Europa.

The two mattresses share turn-free care, Cortec™ Quad Revolution® technology, three-row side stitching and the same principal support choices. The Gold builds on that general construction with additional spring types and a different natural filling recipe.

The Harrison Spinks Gold 9,500 is displayed at Mayfield Furniture. Trying it in your preferred tension will provide a much more useful comparison than judging the mattresses solely from their headline spring counts.
