I am a 10 stone female and am using the hamervik mattress from IKEA. But it's really hurting my back and looking for an alternative. My bed base is a slatted one.(IKEA). I have mostly slept on a foam mattress before this. Can you please suggest an alternative.
Hi Roopali
Sorry to hear you are not getting on with your current mattress.
Please look at our article on mattress tension here.
| 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) |
We think from looking at the specification of your current (IKEA) mattress that they only offer this product in 2 tensions medium/firm and firm. Both of these tension we feel at your current body weight are too firm, and this is the reason your back is aching.
Your body weight is much more in line with a medium tension, as you have mostly slept on foam mattresses in the past, we would recommend the Hybrid 4 model in our range, which will offer you a much better level of support and comfort at your weight. Please see about Hybrid foams here.
If you require any further assistance, please call the office.
