A customer asked

Hi there A seriously interesting site, and alot of knowledge. a lifes work i would say!!!!!!!!!!!

anyways im looking for a mattress to replace my worn out crap, its never been right for me but i got the bed cheap thinking i would replace the matress after a couple of years, and tourchered myself for 5 lol, So basicaly my requirements I sleep on my side!

I get bad problems in my shoulders to compensate, I use pillows sometimes it works sometimes it don't good sleep bad if you know what i mean, I cannot sleep on my back so its important for me to find a matress that will compensate my upper body weight, im 15 stone 5,7 high stocky up top lighter below. lol sounds like im on a dating site lol. Please could you help me!!

Maybe even just point me in the right direction, my idea is this and based on what I have worked out for myself, a pocket sprung matress around maybe 1000 springs. above that memory foam to stop too much movement in the springs once my body has settled and above that top layer latex to give depth for my upper body weight to align to lower body, thus allowing my shoulder to sink into bed properly while drop off to sleep, so im sinking in sleep weight, then when im of to sleep the memory foam will give me support and stop the sinking feeling then springs will give the comfort and support. am i on track and if not please could you help me!!

thanks Kurt

Hi Kurt,

Thanks for your comment.

Firstly I would say look at more than 1000 springs considering you sleep mainly on your side - more springs offer more individualised support.

In your case you are looking for a combination of support and comfort in equal measures - to take the extra pressure from your hips and shoulders.

A 1500 to 2000 pocket unit would be more beneficial and will give you the support you need.

As for the comfort layers, we do not sell memory foam but we do make a mattress that contains 6cm of Talalay Latex on top of pocket springs.

Of course it depends on your budget and how much you are willing to spend.

The Origins Pocket Latex 1500 will give you the support you require together with comfort coming from the latex which will enable you to sink into the mattress before reaching the support of the springs.

We have added this model to our site to show you that if you are looking at memory Foam pocket sprung mattresses, we can offer a far superior latex model for a comparable – if not lower price. This is also the model whereby you can break away from polyester as a primary comfort layer. This model comes with a 7 year guarantee.
