Hi, I’m a single male, about 12stone-12.5 stone. 5’8” Looking for a single bed. What would you recommend. I do have some hip and lower back pain, at times. Tend to toss and turn quite often. Thanks
Hi Mark,
Thank you for your question. The hip and back pain you are experiencing could be due to your current mattress being too firm. If the upholstery is too firm when sleeping on your side, it can cause pressure pains in your shoulders and hips, or you can pivot on these areas, which puts pressure on your lower spine. A mattress that is too firm can also make you move in your sleep to relieve the pressure, giving you a restless night's sleep.
Adding a mattress topper can provide additional cushioning which will help to keep your spine aligned. Different fillings and thicknesses of mattress toppers can create different levels of comfort.
The upholstery layers determine how the mattress feels, and this should be based on your sleep positions and comfort preferences. The most popular mattresses within our range are the Artisan Naturals, from our natural fibre range, and the Origins Pocket 1500 from our manmade fibre range, which both have a medium overall feel. This is not too firm for side sleepers nor too soft for front and back sleepers.
| 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) |
At your height and body weight, we would pair you with the medium spring tension to provide you with the correct level of support.
I hope this helps and if you would like any further information, please do not hesitate to contact the office on 0161 437 4419.
Kind Regards
Michaela
