King Koil Contourpaedic latex mattress has dipped
At the beginning of 2001 we bought a King Koil Contourpaedic Latex mattress, which now has two distinct hollows in it, and which needs replacing, but are completely befuddled as to our needs. We always fancied a latex mattress but they're a bit expensive, so now we are looking at pocketed springs. We are not young, I am 8 stone, have back problems and fibromyalgia, which means painful muscles and ligaments. My husband is 11 1/2 stone with hip problems. Could you please advise as to the degree of firmness and number of pocketed springs which would be best for us? We don't want the mattress too firm, but do need a firm edge to it. Any recommendations would be gratefully received.
Hi Edwina,
Having noted the weight differential, we would normally recommend a soft tension spring for you and a medium for your husband. With a standard king size mattress 1000 springs are sufficient to afford the correct amount of support for people of your body weights.
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 is difficult to advise on a suitable mattress from our ranges without knowing your preferred feel and budget. If you would like to call our office on 0161 437 4419 with this information, we will be able to suggest an appropriate product.
We look forward to hearing from you, kind regards.
