We've recently bought a Warren Evans mattress to replace a Vispring one we'd had for about years. I'm so disappointed with it. My husband finds it just 'ok' but I am really uncomfortable. I think it's too firm to me. Lying on my back I feel like the arch of my back is unsupported and on my side I get pain in my hip. I am waking several times a night and wake with back pain every morning. The mattress was described as "medium/firm" and has 4000 pocket springs. It's on a solid top divan.
I am 5'2" and 8.5st, my husband is 5'8" and 12st. I wonder if the difference in our weights is why it suits him more than me? Would I be better with a softer mattress? Is there anything that would suit us both without the expense of a custom split tension one?
I have slept wonderfully well on hotel beds in the past but never found anything really comfortable at home. I would be willing to spend more on a really comfortable mattress but I'm worried about spending a fortune and it being no good. Especially after our recent experience. The warren Evans one was £495 reduced from £900 ish.
Thank you.
