Heavy bodyweight which mattress?
Hi I would be grateful if you could advise on what mattress give the best support for someone who weighs 20-25 stones. I have previously got 2000 pocket sprung mattresses, my bed is double and my budget under £500. I have a pine bedframe that has been covered with pine floor boards with no gaps, as this was felt to be better to handle the weight, should I have left gaps?
Would it be better to put some in now?
Many thanks.
Hi Sam,
I sympathise with your situation and would confirm that you are probably best leaving the base slats without gaps to provide a firm support for any mattress you may place on them.
We ourselves do a heavy sleeper range which are our Resilience Mattresses. The Resilience 1 comes with a firm core mattress and a soft laygel topper which will allow you to sink into the topper before reaching the support of the core mattress. The Resilience 2 mattress has a latex topper which again will allow you to sink into before reaching the support of the core mattress. The latex topper does have however a more medium density.

I trust that this helps but if you do require further information or guidance, please telephone our office on 0161 437 4419.
Kind regards Julie
