Hi, I am 5'11" and 11.5 stone, my wife is 5'7" and 9 stone.
We have a firm mattress (purchased some 18 years ago) that has served us well, it is a "Mansion House Company Grosvenor" traditional sprung and stuffed mattress I believe.
I suffer from advanced oestoarthritis in my ankles, and am now often woken by pain from them, and frequently find walking painful initially in the morning. I recently went away on business and slept in a bed with a "softer" mattress, and over 3 nights did not have any ankle pain and found walking easier in the morning. I know it is a short stay but it seemed the change in mattress helped my ankles. I sleep on my side.
Is there a mattress type you would recommend? I have been looking at memory foam / hybrid type mattress and wondering if these would help.
We have a solid divan base.
