lower back problems / side sleeper - which mattress?

Hi Victoria,
 
Thank you for your enquiry on our website.  Unfortunately, the only mattress we have that is of similar construction would be the Origins Pocket Latex 1500 but as side sleepers, this would be too firm for the both of you.
 
With your body weights, you require a medium spring tension to give you the correct level of support.
 

 
The advice used to be that for any form of back problem you needed a firm mattress but that is a misnomer.  As long as you have the correct spring tension then the upholstery is dictated by personal preferences and sleeping habits. As side sleepers we wouldn't recommend anything to firm in the comfort layers as this can cause pressure pains in the shoulders, hips and knees. You need a mattress that is more of a medium in the comfort layers.
 

 
We have two pocket sprung ranges, our synthetic fibre Origins range and our natural fibre Artisan range.  In the origins range I would recommend you look at the Origins Pocket 1500 and in the Artisan range I would recommend the Artisan Naturals, both would give you the support you need with a  good all-around medium feel.
 
 
I trust that this helps, but if you have any further queries please do not hesitate to contact the office on 0161 437 4419.  Our office hours are 8 am – 8 pm Monday to Friday and 10 am – 4 pm Saturday and Sunday.
 
Kind Regards
Michaela
