Mattress advise for bad back

Hi. For the last 7 years I have been sleeping on a memory foam mattress. I am now suffering with severe lower back pain (not caused by the mattress though now not helped). I am 8.5 stone in weight and 5’1” in height; I am also now waking every morning in cold sweats so need something that helps with temperature control. Could you please suggest a mattress that would be a suitable replacement? I sleep alone and have a slatted double bed. Many thanks, yours painfully. Su
Hi Su,
Thank you for your question.
With your particular bod weight, I would suggest that you need a soft spring tension and unfortunately, memory foam has a tendency to be quite firm even after providing the initial sink feeling. What you need is a spring tension that suits your body weight in terms of support together with upholstery that provides you with the comfort required whilst limiting the temperature build up.
| 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 view the Artisan Naturals or Artisan Bespoke 004, both of which should be selected with a soft spring tension. The major difference between the two is that the Naturals has 85% natural upholstery whereas the Bespoke 004 has 100%. If your budget will not stretch to either of these, please view the Origins Comfort 1000.
I trust that this is of assistance to you, but if you require any further advice or guidance, please call our office on 0161 437 4419.
Kind regards Julie
