Mattress for large chap with back pain

Hi - I'm in the market for a new bed. I'm 5'2" and 12 stone so a bit chunky!
I also have a tendency to lower back pain, which my current bed ( a slatted base with a cumflux Diana mattress) is making worse. As it's too hard I've added a 2" foam mattress topper which is a bit of an improvement, but not much. For many years (i.e. 25+) I slept very happily on a free-flow waterbed; but it was the old 70's Scandinavian near floor level hardsided sort & now I'm in my 60s I could no longer get in and out of it, hence current bed. Any advice on what sort of bed would most closely replicate my beloved waterbed?
The trouble with the waterbed is the difficulty of moving it it around at all without dedicating 2 days to the operation!

Hi Jackie,
Thank you for your question.
My first instinct is to direct you towards our Artisan Bespoke 002 mattress which has a more medium comfort layer but because it has two layers of springs, it gives the mattress a very responsive bouncy feel. At your body weight, I would also recommend a medium spring tension to give you the correct support.
| Bodyweight | Spring tension |
|---|---|
| Upto 16 Stone / 50-101kg | Medium (1.4mm) |
| 16 Stone / 101kg Upwards | Firm (1.6mm) |
| Available in Bespoke Products (Please Call) | Soft (1.2mm) |
It would help considerably if you could let us a budget to work against, this way we can also offer comparisons to other offerings on the market and offer further explanations of which the better buys in our range.
Could you please telephone our office on 0161 437 4419 and speak to one of our advisors.
Kind regards Julie.
