Hi Steve,

 

Thanks for your question.

 

Having looked at the specification of the mattress you currently have I note that it is described as a soft mattress containing memory foam.

 

Given your weight, we would not have advised a soft tension mattress and in addition, with your budget, the choice will be limited.

 

We are unable to make recommendations regarding products other than our own because there is limited information available regarding construction and content.

 

Your budget means that from our products the items in our Origins range may be appropriate. You might be best looking at something like our Origins Pocket 2000. This will give you the right level of support from inside the mattress itself and it then has a medium upholstery providing that slight sink into the top layer but not too much. At your body weight you do need that Firm spring tension to get the right level of 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)

 

 

Generally with your aches and pains you need to avoid anything too firm in the top layers. You might also find that you need to add a separate mattress topper at a later date to add an extra layer of comfort.

 

I hope this has answered your questions fully but if you do have any further queries please don't hesitate to contact our office on 0161 437 4419.

 

Kind Regards, Lee.
