Hi, looking to purchase a new mattress and was recommended to try John Ryan. I and husband are side sleepers and I’m around 12 stone he is around 14 stone. I am constantly walking up with numb arms with lying on them and we both have sore back with the mattress we have. We have a newish pine slatted bed so only the mattress is required. Please, can you recommend the best suitable one for us?
Hi Angela,
Thank you for your question.
At your body weights you both would need to opt for a medium spring tension for support.
| Spring Tension | Wire diameter (Gauge) | Weight Range |
|---|---|---|
| Soft | 1.2mm | Bespoke Tension (Please Call) |
| Medium | 1.4mm | Upto 16 stone |
| Firm | 1.6mm | 16 stone plus |
| Extra Firm / Orthopaedic | 1.9mm | 20 stone plus |
As you both experience problems with your back I would definitely recommend that you take a look at the models in our ranges with a medium upholstery (comfort layers) as anything too firm will worsen your aches and pains.
The Origins Pocket 1500 is the medium feel mattress in the Origins range. The Origins Pocket range should be the most you pay for a polyester based mattress. If this falls within your maximum budget you can rest assured that there is not much more out there that compares. £620.00 for a Kingsize mattress.

The Artisan Naturals is described as the 'true medium' of the Artisan range. Our most popular, unbeatable model with 85% natural fibres. Containing a huge GSM of fillings, including wool and mohair, on a Calico springs/" class="" >Pocket spring unit. £1235.00 for a Kingsize mattress.
This is priced particularly low in comparison to more established brands in order for us to set the bar in comparing branded mattresses with similar components. If this is in the region of your maximum budget then you will be getting the best mattress you can buy.
