Dunlopillo latex mattress options?

A couple of years ago, I owned a Dunlopillo Latex Mattress on a basic Dunloppillo slatted base. I’d had it for over 10 years I believe and I remained happy with it. So why did I change? I decided I wanted an adjustable bed and fell for the hype about memory foam, so I bought a Temour adjustable bed (slatted) and a Tempur original (I think) mattress. To cut a long story short, (okay not very short) I’m finding that my shoulders and lower ribs ache in the morning. I sleep on my side which is not helping. So I need a new mattress which will work well with my existing adjustable base Questions: I think I need a 6’6 mattress not a 6’3. I’ll check this before buying but can you supply this and for how much? 3ft I’m interested in both fusion 3 and 5. Will 5 be too thick for my base? How secure is the toppeer? I’m assuming that 3 and 5 are identical if you remove the topper from 5? I weigh about 12 stone and sleep on my side. Are these two mattress the right firmness (softness?) for me? I’m not totally sure I want Latex. I’ll consider pocket sprung from your other site also. I’m leaning toward Latex based on previous experience with Dunlopillo and the fact that my previous latex wore very well. I suspect that latex is better suited to my base also? I’m unlikely to buy another memory foam mattress Can you advise? >
Hi John,
Thank you for your question.
I’m sorry to hear your Tempur mattress is causing you issue. The issue some people find is that the tempur original is a firm bed which some people think is better for back and hip issues, some people however find a firmer bed aggravates the issue. As you have probably realised Latex is the premium material that memory foam simply can’t compete with. I think you’re right given your current sleep issues to return to a quality latex mattress. To answer your questions: We can supply 6″6 mattresses but would need to know what size mattress you are after. For an adjustable bed the fusion 5 would be the recommended model due to the thickness, weight and moving aspect of the base. Latex is the most suitable mattress for adjustable bases due to the fact its incredibly flexible and malleable compared to a more stiffer sprung mattress. The topper is held in place by weight usually, we also recommend fitted sheets. In terms of the adjustable bed it should be fine if fitted with a fitted sheet. That said the reduced height mattress is usually the most practical for an adjustable bed. The choice is really with you, given that adjustable beds are sometimes higher than standard divans. We recommend that slatted bases are no further than an inch apart as latex and foams will mould to the surface they are put on. The fact you have an adjustable bed indicates this shouldn’t be a problem as they are designed for foam beds. I always ask to make sure though! I think a medium tension based on your weight would be suitable to provide a medium feel mattress. To learn more about dunlopillo mattresses click here. I hope that helps – Lee
