Latex mattress for weight difference

Hello - a bit at the end of my tether regarding sleep.
I'm a 5ft lady who weighs just under 9 stone, but my husband is 6ft 2" and weighs 15 stone.
For years we have had what seems to me to be a very firm dense latex foam mattress with a ligher weight latex as a mattress topper - but my shoulders and hips seem to be in constant pain.
A couple of years ago I had surgery on my shoulder to try and release it, as it had completely jammed up -it hurts most mornings when I wake up.
Having read your site, I think our current mattress is just too hard for me, but my husband is really likes a firm mattress.
I am thinking of perhaps a dual tension mattress with firm for him, moving to medium for me.
As he is quite tall our bed is 7ft long.
Any advice welcome.

Hi Veronica,
Thank you for getting in touch.
Given the weight differential, I would agree that a dual tension mattress is likely to be the solution, however, these are only available in our Artisan range.
In addition to this, I note that you require a mattress to fit a 7ft bed. This would mean you require a bespoke size mattress for which there is an additional cost and it would not be covered by our John Ryan 60 day love it or return it guarantee.
The models in the Artisan range can be paired with either a soft medium or firm spring tension for support. The Individuals body weight dictates which spring tension will provide 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) |
Please take a look at the Artisan range, using the Artisan Naturals as a starting point as this model is described as the 'true medium' of the Artisan range.
Once you have taken a look at the mattresses in this range please give the office a call on 0161 437 4419 to discuss the suitability.
Kind regards,
Amy.
