Hi Christine,

It's difficult to narrow this down specifically. Comfort is very personal and definitely very subjective; What one person finds firm another finds medium and another finds soft. The symptoms you describe are very indicative of pressure point pains found more often than not by side sleepers who are on a firm mattress.

Our advice to anyone who finds a mattress too firm after the adjustment period (any new mattress will feel firmer to start with and needs at least 4-6 weeks to settle minimum) is to add a mattress topper to introduce an extra comfort layer.

From what I can see about the Loren Williams mattress it is described as a soft feel; Whilst the reverse is more predominant it is also possible that a mattress that's too soft can cause those pains. It might be worth attempting to solidify your current base (on the assumption that your current one is either sprung or slatted). This will give your mattress a firmer feel and if the reverse is in fact true then it might help to eliminate your current pains.

Outside of that I'd be hesitant to recommend any of our own products at this stage as the Artisan Luxury is our softest mattress in the top layers and should give a similar feel to that Loren Williams product. As such, I'd be inclined to ask you to test boarding your base to begin with. Give this a try and come back to us with your findings and we can hopefully assist further from there.
