We are looking to replace our 9 year old Dreams Sleepeze Lincoln (3500 pocket sprung) mattress, which I have come to realise may well be the source of the hip pain I have been suffering on and off for a couple of years yet every night for the past month or so (which I may add, disappears upon getting up). Being relatively fit, exercising regularly and only being in our late 40's/early 50's, I am hoping that it is indeed the mattress! Our present mattress has been ok for years, but as with all mattresses, is now showing signs of age (aren't we all?!), with dips in the middle and, being a super king-size, a huge 'hump' down the centre.
I am 5'5", weighing approx 10.6 stones and my husband is 6', weighing approx 13 stones. We both like a relatively firm mattress, although I accept this could well be part of the problem. Both of us tend to run warm on a night and for that reason have avoided memory foam mattresses. Could a latex or pocket sprung/latex be a possibility?
Having looked at various websites, we have been impressed by the wealth of information on your website and I would therefore appreciate your recommendations.
