Recommended mattress for lower back pain
Could you kindly recommend a mattress for me .... Middle-aged male, 6'3", 17 stone, side-sleeper, sole bed occupant, prone to lower back pain. Have always had firm mattresses - currently Sealy Ortho Millionaire, which is around 8 years old and back pain is starting to get worse.
Budget preferably £500 - £800, but could go to £1,000 if this enables a significantly better mattress. Thank you.
Hi Richard,
Thank you for your enquiry.
Your current back problems are probably being caused because your existing mattress is no longer providing the support your body weight requires.
With your particular body weight we would suggest that you opt for a firm spring tension and the most appropriate mattress within your budget would be the Artisan 1500, which has a mixture of man made and natural upholstery.
This is the model we put our name and reputation to – Meaning if this is the limit to your budget this certainly is “The best mattress you can buy for your money”!
The Artisan 1500 has been specifically built to emulate the feel of The Artisan Naturals and priced to achieve a stunning mattress at an affordable price. We have used as best we can a similar range of components to The Naturals in order to garner the closest match in terms of support and comfort levels. For example; The insulating layer (1200 gsm Cashmere) is same weight and similar in overall quality and feel to the Mohair as used in The Naturals – this is the most expensive component in this mattress – but critical to achieve the correct support and comfort properties.
