A customer asked

Hi John & Ryan Firstly, I would like to say thank you for such an informative website, very refreshing to see a company taking the time to properly inform its customers. My wife and i are looking to purchase a new bed & mattress, we have tried out the iGel Athena Medium Firm 3 in Bensons Beds, its a combination of pocket springs and iGel, and found it really comfortable, well for the 5 minutes we laid there!

I 6ft 4" and weigh 18 Stone, my wife is 5ft 8" and weighs 11 stone, , we currently sleep on a Rest Assured Andria 2000 Memory mattress, I suffered an upper back injury many years ago and regularly wake up through the night with sore spots on my hips & knees as i sleep on my side, we had a memory foam mattress many years ago and it was very good, however after some time the foam no longer supported my weight and i began to feel the slats in the bed. Apologies for the long winded explanation, my question is really about your cool blue foam and latex mattresses, what do you think would be best for my wife and i considering our weight etc?

Your advice is greatly appreciated. Many thanks John

Hi John,

 

Thank you for your enquiry.  Based on your weights it will be quite challenging to find a mattress thats fully suitable for all. Both of our Hybrid mattresses would be firm for your wife.  If you wanted to go down the pocket spring route we would pair you with a firm spring tension and your wife with a medium to give you both the correct level of support, then the comfort layers would be based on personal preferences and sleeping habits.

 

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)

 

You could look at the Fusion 3 latex mattress, which is a solid core latex which is not heat retentive like memory foam and is a lot more durable and responsive.  For your weight it will be a medium to softer feel in the top layer but should be supportive enough for you. For your partner it would be a medium feel.
