In my old house we had two emperor mattresses.. definitely go for the zip and link. On paper the mattresses were an easy fit but in practice it took a lot of effort to get them in. Unless you live in a very open plan high ceiling'd bungalow. Also we now have a sleepeezee superking with a pillow top. It's as good as the vispring and hypnos that I've previously had. The emperor beds were awful so I wouldn't recommend that supplier.
I've just bought a UK king size Hypnos from John Lewis. This is my third week of sleeping on it and I am very happy with it. It's a medium firm mattress but more on the medium side. I also use a mattress topper just because I already had it for my previous mattress which was a mistake, it was a Harrison Spinks firmer which was too firm for me and even a mattress topper didn't soften it enough.
I bought the Hypnosis mattress as it was heavily reduced and just been put onto the shop floor. It was in perfect condition except for the stitching along a seam that had come undone, maybe about three inches. I sewed up the seam myself in 10 minutes.
The mattress was originally £3500 and I bought it for £850, so I was very pleased.
