I hope you can help - currently I am paralysed with all the choices out there! I'm currently on my 3rd memory foam mattress (this time a Leesa). Every time I fall for the promise that THIS mattress uses a new technology that won't make us too hot (the last one. But surprise, surprise, it's too hot. So it's time to go back to pocket sprung.
The problem is, I have hypermobility (which basically means my ligaments allow my joins to move too much, causing me pain). memory foam is so much comfier for me thanks to the support it gives. I don't have the budget for latex (and from what I've read I'm not convinced it's much cooler anyway - plus it sounds like it will be too firm).
So here are my questions:
1. What is the right tension for me? My husband is a side sleeper, weighs between 11-12st, 5ft9. I'm 8.5st (sorry no scales!) and 5ft3. I want a softer bed for my back, but I'm worried it'll end up with us rolling into the middle like those beds Grannies have in their spare rooms.
2. Will the polyester in the Origins 1000 make us too hot? My budget is limited (ideally under £600) so I'm thinking of buying the cheaper one (since you mention it's softer) and then getting a wool or thick cotton topper.
3. Is the polyester recyclable or is it all going to sit on landfill once we're done? Usually I'd go for the hippy coir option on the Natural John Lewis range, but having spent time on your site, I would rather give you my money.
Any advice welcome!
