Hypnos Wendover mattress replacement

Hello A very informative site, glad I found it!
I have a double metal framed bed from Laura Ashley with 'single frames' for the slats. The mattress is a Hypnos Handrcrafted Wendover. I took this off our original Hypnos bed frame as found the Laura Ashley Harlech mattress that came with the LA bed frame too soft and when using this mattress always had back ache. The Hypnos mattress has improved things slightly, but I still have acheing joints and stiff shoulders. I know there is a problem as when we stay away in B&B's, cottages (who do not always put the best in their premises), etc, I find I do not have the problems I have at home. Should I place a peg board on top of the slats and a duvet as you have suggested, or just a duvet?
Also could the metal 'join' down the middle of the bed which is double metal bars because of the single configuration be a problem?
Many thanks for any help you can suggest. Sandra. .
Hi Sandra,
Thank you for your question.
I cannot seem to find information on The Wendover so I am unable to accurately tell what you are currently sleeping on.
The symptoms you describe lead me to believe that the mattress may be on the firm side and so the addition of a topper may improve things a little more for you as toppers add extra comfort layers therefore cushioning your shoulders. You could try a duvet beneath your bottom sheet as a trial to see if this improves things and if it does then purchase a topper
It is true that the metal bar down the centre of the base may be a contributory factor as this can cause a ridge to appear in the mattress. It would be better if you placed some MDF on top of the slats. This does not need to be very thick, anything between 3mm & 5mm.
I hope this assists but please do not hesitate to contact the office should you require any further information or advice on 0161 437 4419.
Kind regards Julie.
