Hi Johanna,

Thanks for getting in touch to see what mattress compares to the IKEA HOVAG mattress.

It sounds very much like your preference is for a firmer feel mattress which is maybe why you're not getting on with your Tempur mattress. These have a much softer slow sink feeling which means if you're looking for firmer support in your mattress the Tempur range may be unsuitable.

The issue with foam mattresses is there's very little that can be offered in terms of edge support as you mention. A number of people have been in touch with us to complain that they literally roll off the edge of these Memory foam or Tempurpedic mattresses.

Given you're both side sleepers and 14 stone you'll need a 1.4 medium gauge pocket spring to support you. You can find out more on spring tensions in our handy guide below.

We would recommend that the Origins Reflex is the best model to give you that firmer feel with plenty of edge support. Given there is a perimeter bar and firmer spring row surrounding the mattress. It's also two-sided meaning you can use both sides. It will give you a comfortable but firmer feel in the top upholstery layers.
