Good evening! I'm in a bit of a quandary as to a replacement for my lovely (but now worn out) KozeeSleep Countour Master open sprung 4'6" mattress with a good 80+mm of memory foam on top (non turn type). As these kinds of mattresses can only be turned head to foot I've had a good 6 years out of it but it now needs replacing.
I have a solid slat bed with good quality large slats and was interested to read your article about pocket sprung on bed frames. As I am disabled I cannot get to cut boards etc to cover the slats so think an open sprung is going to be best? I have to ask someone to turn my mattress for me and make up the bed already :)
I'm trying to source a medium-firm or firm sprung mattress with a minimum 80mm memory foam layer but this is proving very difficult and I'm going bug-eyed searching various online suppliers.
I had a lot of spinal surgeries and found some previous advice 6+ years ago to go for medium firm sprung + 2-3" memory foam top layer really helped my levels of night time comfort & morning stiffness. But trying to find a replacement mattress is getting very confusing as a lot of companies seem to have folded/merged.
I should add I'm a heavy person and also dislike getting hot at night - the cooler the better!
