Firm mattress giving me backache

Hi,
We recently bought firm Hovag mattress from Ikea. This was to replace a sagging Sealy mattress we'd had for about 7 years but in hindsight I'd have back in an instant as it was still a lot more comfortable than this instrument of torture! I'd been getting some lumbar tension on the old mattress so I thought it would make sense to go firm on the new one but that was clearly the wrong decision as it's horrible. First couple of months we're bearable and I assumed I was just getting used to it, but the discomfort has ramped up each night to the point that I can't stay asleep for more than an hour on it, constantly have to change positions and crawl out of the bed in the morning knackered! Annoyingly we're now out of the ikea money back guarantee. Anyway... I really want to get it right this time and not waste any more money. I'm 13.5 stone, my wife is around 9 stone. We both generally sleep on our sides, part of the reason this mattress is so uncomfortable I guess as it has no give for hips and shoulders meaning lower back has to slump. Bed is wood with slatted base, not sprung. Please advise which mattress you think would be suitable.
Btw - I know it says 30 days delivery but is it usually quicker?
Many thanks,
Rob
