Mattress choice for differing-weight couple

Hi there,
Thanks for such an informative site.
My partner and I are in the process of choosing both a new bedstead and a new mattress as a housewarming present to ourselves. The bedframe will almost certainly be a wooden one, so slatted, but we could probably choose between flat or sprung slats.
I am 5'5" and 9.5st, predominantly a a back or side sleeper, and I move a lot in my sleep. My partner is 6'2" and 16st, sleeps mostly on his side or front, and hardly moves at all while asleep. Both of us run warm at night. We move around a lot for work and end up sleeping on all kinds of mattresses and have never really had a problem, but both of prefer a mattress that isn't too soft.
Our budget could probably run to about 800-900 for a king size mattress but obviously we would not object to spending a little less... Especially since we live in Orkney and we have to think of shipping charges on top.
With this information, what would you advise as a good mattress choice?
Many thanks
Anna
