Is the Origins 2000 pocket spring suitable for male side sleeper

Dear John & Ryan, I have come across your website and I need to ask a question. I am 6ft2 105kg Male side sleeper and I have recently been suffering from lower back, hips and upper back/shoulder pain. This started about 6 months ago, and I returned a 4-year-old premier inn super king as the mattress had dipped both sides and the support in the lower back/pelvis area had reduced beyond a suitable comfort level. I then tried a Sealy 1400 geltex box top pocket mattress from QVC and this was fine for a month and then the geltex top again lost all support in the same lower back area causing me severe lower back, upper back and hip pain (this has now been returned). I am now trying the Emma original and I am finding this too firm for side sleeping and the pain I currently have is not really improving. I see the origins 1500 springs/" title="pocket spring">pocket spring in super king size could potentially be much more suitable for me, but I am just wondering whether I should try 2000, due to my weight and height and I really don’t want another mattress dipping (like the premier inn Hypnos). Would the Origins Pocket 2000 still feel like a medium comfort for my weight and keep my spine aligned nicely. I am concerned that 1500 would not be supportive enough, but I don’t want a really firm/hard mattress as I sleep on my side (but always wake up on my back). I have sought help for my back pain and have started seeing a chiropractor to help ease my back pain as it turns out I am really stiff in the upper back area, this is probably compounded further with having a young toddler and lots of bending and twisting (bath time etc..), so I do need a mattress that is going to aid recovery from daily life. There were genuine problems with both Hypnos and Sealy mattresses (irrespective of my situation and playing with my young son). My wife is much lighter than me (75kg), but I would rather not go for a zip and link at this moment in time. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.
