Best mattress for tall, slim, but broad shouldered?

I am 6'4" and about 12.5-13 stone, with quite broad shoulders. I usually sleep on my side, but I like to lie on my front as well. I recently purchased a firm hovag mattress from ikea, but it's been giving me terrible lower back and neck pain. What's even more ridiculous is that I just went on holiday for a couple of weeks, sleeping in hostels and budget guesthouses on a variety of cheap, open coil mattresses (or occasionally just sofa cushions) and was completely fine - then I get back and I'm in pain again after the first night. I think I'm ready to cut my losses and donate the ikea mattress, so I'm looking for a replacement.
I've typically favoured a firmer mattress. I'm aware the advice for side sleepers is to go softer, but I tried the medium hovag before exchanging it for the firmer version as the softer one was giving me even worse pain, and was very uncomfortable when lying on my front. Can you recommend which of your mattresses you think would be most appropriate? In terms of budget I'm probably looking at the Origins range, although I might be willing to spend a bit more if there is something particularly ideal.
Thank you.
