Mattress for 80kg & 55 kg sleepers who are side sleepers, advice please

Comment Check Icon 1 answers Comment Icon 0 comments

Hi team, I am interested in this artisan 1500 mattress, but my partner is a lot heavier than myself 80kg vs. 55kg. And we are not sure what kind of firmness we need, I think we generally prefer firm but also want some soft support on our shoulders when sleep on the side. Should we get firm mattress and a mattress topper?

Hi Cecilia,

 

Thank you for your question on our website. The medium spring tension supports body weights up to 17 stone (107 kg) depending on your height. This spring tension will provide the correct level of support for both of you.

 

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)

 

The Artisan 1500 has a firmer medium level of comfort in the 53% natural fibres. However, given your very light body weight, this would feel quite firm. The upholstery layers should be determined by how you sleep as well as your comfort preferences. If you sleep on your side you may find that this mattress causes pressure pains in your shoulders and hips and you would need to add a mattress topper for additional cushioning.

 

 

You could consider a medium level of comfort such as the Artisan Tailored Pocket 2000 which has a true medium overall feel in the 85% natural fibre upholstery. This would have more cushioning in the top layer for your shoulders and hips to sink into but with supporting layers underneath. These support layers would stop you from sinking in too much if you sleep on your front or back. Although this would have an overall medium feel for your partner it would still have a firmer medium level of comfort for you.

I hope this helps and if you would like any further information please do not hesitate to contact the office on 0161 437 4419.

Kind Regards

Michaela
