Hi Alan Woodhouse

Thanks for your question.

There are many anecdotes on this site and throughout the internet where the mattress develops a central dip known and this can easily be attributed to the use of a slatted bed frame where the pressure of the slats (the arches) are too firm to ‘give’ under the weight of mattress and user and, therefore, the mattress is prone to settling on the central support bar.

There are of course associated reasons why this happens. The mattress itself can be so unsubstantial and lightweight that the arches on the slats are pushing the internal spring unit out of shape. The underside wadding of the mattress (one-sided no turn) has such an inadequate level of support upholstery that the springs are practically forming on to the slats.

Someone who sleeps on their front needs a mattress that is firmer in the top support layers, so that you don’t sink into too much, and create an unnatural arch in your lower back, which will create back pain or make current pains worse.

I would recommend that you take a look at the Artisan Bespoke model in our range, This has the firmest top upholstery layers, it is 100% natural fibres, which create the coolest mattresses.

I hope this helps if you have any further questions please don't hesitate to contact the office on 0161 437 4419
