Need firm mattress but which one?

Hi guys I have spent a long time over the past few evenings trying to make my mind up as to what sort of mattress I should be buying and was wondering if you could advise a little. I am about 14stone but hoping to lose weight soon and I have a 4ft divan. I am looking for a new mattress and take your advise that I need a double sided mattress. I would I think prefer a pocket sprung type. However, I like a firm feel as I have a back problem that requires support more near my rib area. Do I need to buy an orthopaedic mattress or would the 2000 sprung mattress be ok for me?
I appreciate any help. .
Hi Sue.
In general Orthopaedic refers to an open coil construction, a build quality that Ryan and I do not subscribe to. There are instances whereby a pocket spring mattress is referred to as orthopaedic by use of a firm gauge wire for the springs. In any event, additional firmness can be gained by many measures.
The spring tension is one way, and of course, what you get can only be determined by your budget. As you mention The Origins 2000 I assume this to be a ballpark figure for your budget and therefore I think this will be suitable for your requirements. Bear in mind also that the springs really do have to have some movement in relation to your body weight in order for them to function relative to their design.
| 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) |
Please feel free to call us direct to discuss further.
John and Ryan.
