Mattress advice after spinal surgery

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!
Hi Julie,
Thank you for your question regarding a new mattress and do understand your quandary as it can be so difficult finding a good mattress which will suit your needs and requirements.
I note that you are looking for a mattress which contains Memory Foam as a constituent part, but you do not like being hot at night. Memory foam is notorious for heat retention and this is the main reason that people who have a mattress with this in it, choose to change in the short term to a mattress without. We have explained all about memory foam mattresses within the article here which we hope you find informative.
We do not manufacture Memory Foam mattresses and it may be that your requirements could be met with a Latex mattress and these can be viewed here.
Latex as a comfort layer, is much cooler than memory foam and is much more responsive so comes back to shape a lot quicker than memory foam meaning you are not stuck in a dip which then turns to climbing up a hill. We have explained all about latex within our article here.
Latex is a high-quality mattress material known for its solid core. It provides exceptional comfort and durability, outshining memory foam and other types of mattress foams. Remarkably, some latex mattresses have lasted over 40 years while still delivering excellent support and comfort! Sourced from the rubber tree, latex is the finest natural foam option available, which contributes to its higher price point.
In order for us to recommend which of our mattresses would suit your requirements, it would be beneficial for you to have a chat with one of our friendly Advisors who will be able to collate detailed information from you and steer you in the right direction.
If you require further advice or assistance, please do not hesitate to call our office on 0161 437 4419.
Kind regards Julie
