Hi Kathryn,

I’m sorry you hear you’re in pain I can only imagine how uncomfortable it is.

I could really do with knowing your budget to help narrow down the advice, but will give you some options, then if you wish to provide more details to help you can get back in touch.

At your weight and size you should really be looking at a soft support mattress if in a sprung mattress.

If looking at latex a medium tension is better as these mattresses tend to feel softer than their counterparts as they sink quicker before supporting you.

Your weight and height simply don’t need anything firmer in the support layer.

You want to be able to sink in enough before the support rather than lying on a super firm support layer pushing on your hip.

Your options lie between either a springs/" title="pocket spring">pocket spring or latex mattress for the pressure relief.

Latex provides far greater immediate pressure relief but can be an acquired sensation.

Pocket sprung traditional mattresses have a more familiar feel to most and I’d advise one with soft comfort layers for you to sink into.

We always recommend you go and try out similar mattresses in stores if you’re unsure.

If you’re looking for a pocket sprung mattress please have a look at our Origins Comfort in our starter range.

The Artisan Luxury for our softest top range mattress.

Please find here the Vi spring comparison mattresses to try to get a similar feel to our Artisan models.

If you wanted to have a latex layer with a pocket spring unit below then the model in our range would be the Origins Pocket Latex, but at your height and body weight this may be a little too firm on the support side.

Your bodyweight	This will feel
Under 10 Stone / 63kg	Very Firm
10-12 Stone / 63-76kg	Firm to Medium
12-14 Stone / 76-88kg	Medium to Firm
14-16 Stone / 88-101kg	Medium
16-18 Stone / 101-114kg	Medium to Soft
18 Stone / 114kg Plus	Please call for advice
