Tempur vs Vi Spring

A customer asked

My wife and I are looking for a new mattress as the one we bought from Hypnos 3.5 years ago has become uncomfortable for her.(pillowtop 1400 pocket).

We visited a retailer who stocked Vi-Spring,Harrison and Tempur.She has a back complaint, which makes her hips painful and cannot lie on one side and she does not sleep easily on her back.My wife weighs 8.5 stone and I weigh 15st.I seem to be able to sleep on anything so it is my wife's comfort that is utmost.She found lying on the Vi spring ones displayed(priced fron £1700 to £6000 mainly medium support) hurt her hip as does our Hypnos but when she lay on a Tempur Cloud 22 deluxe her hips did not hurt even after an extended period of approx 20 mins.I must admit that I found the bed very soft and would ask what you suggest.

Many thanks Chris

Hi, Chris

 

Given the weight difference between you and your partner, you’re going to be battling between something that's too soft for you vs something that's too firm for your wife I’m afraid!

Given that you’ve been trying beds you’ve already managed to narrow down the search to the mattress-alternatives-comparison-models/" title="Tempur">Tempur cloud mattress you’ve already done most for the difficult work!.

You’re right that it's probably great for your wife but a bit too soft for you.

We do have a comparator to the Tempur cloud with our Hybrid 4 mattress which is a mix of memory and hybrid foam giving that cloud-like sink.

Given it's going to be really soft for you I’d ask you to have a look at the Hybrid 5 mattress which is slightly firmer a comparator usually to the Tempur sensation mattress, but is a very deep mattress which I’d argue will give your wife enough sink to allow her painful hips and back to sink without it being too firm for her. It also would give you a slightly firmer top layer making it not as soft as the cloud or Hybrid 4. It may be the best compromise for you.

I’d also advise that any foam mattress will be warmer than a traditional pocket sprung mattress; its a game of trading off the benefits and drawbacks I’m afraid.

Everyone is different with the heat of mattresses.

If you want to speak further please give us a call Chris on 0161 437 4419 .
