Mattress for osteo arthritis sufferer

Hubby and I have a 1200 pocket sprung double (around 10 years old) currently with a feather and down topper.
Its been great but it needs replaced so we've been looking for a new bed.
We are both on the big side (hubby is over 16 stone) and quite liked the Relyon Airflow 7000 and the Sealy Posturepedic Diamond Latex.
I have osteo arthritis and find that when we go away on holiday, I really suffer from backache and sore hips not sleeping in my own bed, so its really important we get it right.
BTW Hubby doesn't want to be too warm at night and from what I am reading about memory foam, that might not be the best thing for us.
I would really appreciate your advice.
Thanks in advance.
Our budget is £700- £1000.

Hi Beth,
Thank you for getting in touch.
Given that your hubby is a hot sleeper I would advise that you take a look at our Artisan range in which mattresses are made using Natural fibres. Natural fibres do not retain heat in the same way synthetics do therefore providing a cooler sleep surface.
For any individual that suffers with backache we would not recommend anything that will be too firm in the upholstery layers as this will only worsen those aches and pains.
The Artisan Tailored Pocket 2000 is a medium feel model in the upholstery layers.
| John Ryan By Design Artisan Tailored Pocket | |
|---|---|
| 1 | 1200gsm Blended British Fleece Wool and Cotton. |
| 2 | Hairproof Cambric Cover |
| 3 | 1250gsm Poly Cotton |
| 4 | 1500gsm Pure 100% Mohair |
| 5 | 2000 Double Tier Spun Bond Pocket Springs (Soft/Med or Firm) |
| Total GSM | 3950gsm |
This mattress fits your budget at £950.00 for a Double.
The mattresses in the Artisan range can be paired with a soft, medium or firm spring tension to support the individual. The correct spring tension is determined by the individuals body weight. We can also offer dual spring tensions for couples of different weight categories.
| Bodyweight | Spring tension |
|---|---|
| Upto 16 Stone / 50-101kg | Medium (1.4mm) |
| 16 Stone / 101kg Upwards | Firm (1.6mm) |
| Available in Bespoke Products (Please Call) | Soft (1.2mm) |
I hope that this helps.
If you would like any further information please do not hesitate to contact the office on 0161 437 4419.
Kind regards,
Amy.
