Hi,
We're looking for a new mattress having had a couple of expensive mattresses that have lasted less then a year before becoming very uncomfortable. Both of the problem mattresses included memory foam - the last was/is Tempur - which was heaven to start with and agony after 6 months.
With this in mind we're seeking something with natural fibres hoping that these will last a bit longer! We don't mind spending cash to get a good mattress _if_ we can be sure the mattress will last a few years!
I'm 6'1", about 85kg and sleep on my front. This is a problem given that I have a bad back anyway. I've tested the John Lewis Natural collection and the Yorkshire Wool 8000 through to the Silk 14000 were find in firm spring tension but too soft in medium. The Cashmere 16000 was too soft in firm. I'm currently sleeping on the floor on a self-inflating camping mat which is fine for my back but lacks luxury.
My partner is 5'3" and around 55kg. She is curvy and sleeps on her side so normally needs something fairly soft to support her waist.
Bed is 6' wide by 7' long - but a mattress 2m long is fine. Given the size zip-link might be best to allow us to turn the mattresses over, otherwise the mattress will be too heavy. Base is wooden planks with a mm or two between them for ventilation.
