He sleeps any which way and I am a side sleeper. Which mattress?
Hi,
I am 8 stone 5 and my husband is 16 stone. He sleeps any which way (back, side and front) whereas I am a side sleeper. We currently have a budget sprung mattress and I am desperate for a good nights sleep due to the creaking and motion whenever my husband shifts in bed! I have heard that latex may be the best for motion transfer but welcome your input!
Hi Sian,
Thank you for your question.
In order for me to recommend one of our mattresses for you, I would need to know how you both like a mattress to feel from the top upholstery layers which we call the comfort layers and also what your budget is for the mattress.
At your body weights, I would however recommend a medium spring tension which will give you both the correct support :-
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) |
With a pocket sprung mattress, you should not really feel the other person moving about. However this is not 100% guaranteed and therefore to avoid this altogether, we would recommend either a Zip & link mattress or a foam/latex mattress. At this moment in time, the only latex mattress that we are producing is our Origins Pocket Latex 1500 which has two layers of Talalay latex on top of pocket springs. It is also a non-turn mattress and can therefore only be rotated. This mattress would however feel very firm for you but more medium for your husband.
Our Fusion mattresses which are made of 100% Natural Latex, are not being produced at this moment in time due to us not being able to source the quality latex we require for our mattresses. We do however have a limited stock of these mattresses in either our outlet site or Ebay site.
It would be of benefit to you to telephone our office and speak to one of our Advisors who will be able to obtain more detailed information from you in order to recommend the correct mattress for you both. Please telephone our office on 0161 437 4419.
Kind regards Julie
