Hiya i have a sealy posture pedic latex mattress which feel s very comfortable but its no good for my back , i suffer from siatica and my left hip and bottom of my back ache so much when i get out of bed on a morning, can you suggest a mattress that would support my back better i have a superkingsized bed,also i have turned this mattress over and slept on the side that you shouldnt sleep on as its a mattress that you dont turn, i wouldnt say that it was comfortable but my back didnt hurt the next morning also when ive slept on sprung mattresses with no latex or memory foam in them i feel more supported and my back is much better thankyou Helen Caine >
Hi Helen,
Thank you for your question and I sympathise with your situation and note that sleeping on the reverse side of your current mattress has provided some partial relief to your problems.
However, I also note that you felt better on a sprung mattress without foam or latex. We have two ranges of traditional pocket sprung mattresses, our Origins Range which have synthetic fillings and our Artisan Range which have natural fillings.
It is difficult to make any recommendation without knowledge of your weight and that of any other party using the mattress. The spring tension in a mattress is dictated by body weight as your body needs to move with those springs in order to get 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 be better for you to call our office on 0161 437 4419 for an informal discussion regarding your specific requirements.
Kind regards Julie
