Hi, it's been lovely reading your helpful advice to people.

We are looking for a replacement for our 10 year old Sealy posturepedic Ultra- Tiffany .We hadn't even realised back then that we would feel each other getting in /out of bed turning over etc.That, and my lower back pain (experienced after being in bed for hours , but better during day ) have led us to look for a better quality mattress .

We have a king size bedstead with flexible beech slats .My husband is 15 stone and sleeps on side (plus back and front ).

I am 10 stone and favour my front but am trying to reform to a side sleeping position to help my back.We are looking for a pocket sprung mattress, do not like the idea of too hot memory foam and have a budget of £500-£1000.

On visiting a good quality local store the sort of mattress we found most comfortable was a Harrisons pocket sprung .I think he said it had cashmere/ wool cotton etc in it and it was £1000 in an offer.

This seemed a lot of money to spend without knowing how it compared with others available and your website struck a chord with me.

Can you advise us as to what may be most suitable for us .(My husband tends to like a firmer feel than me , and I am concerned that as I switch to side sleeping I need more softness not less) best regards Ann .
