Replacing Tempur mattress

Hi John & Ryan.
My wife and I are in the market for a new bed after both developing discomfort from our 2 year old tempur memory foam mattress.
I am 5'10"and 13 1/2 stone and my wife is 5'2" and 8 1/2 stone.
I prefer my bed to be medium-firm whilst my partner would prefer a medium support.
Our current memory foam mattress seems to be too soft for both of us and doesn't offer enough support.
This also aggravates the long term lower back problems that I suffer with (2 bulging discs and spondylosis of the lower vertebrae).
The memory foam also seems to trap unwanted heat.
After a night at a well known budget hotel chain, I was pleasantly surprised to wake the next day without the usual pain which forces me to get out of bed.
I believe this chain uses beds made by Hypnos.
With this information in mind, would you please be able to advise a bed from your pocket sprung range given a budget of between £1000-£1500.
Many thanks Mark.

Hi Mark,
Thanks for your question.
memory foam is known for heat retention and I am surprised that the Tempur mattress is appearing too soft, as these are normally on the firm side.
Unfortunately, Hypnos do not provide specific details of the fillings or upholstery layers, making any comparisons impossible.
From what you have said it is clear your are looking for comfort and support without heat retention. However, there is a 5 stone weight differential, which would tend towards a split tension in the mattress being applicable.
| 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 only mattresses we manufacture that can be made with a split tension, if required, are our Artisan range and I would suggest that you call our office o 0161 437 4419 to obtain specific advice as to the suitability of the mattresses in that range. The Artisan range is ideal where there are heat issues as the natural fillings used in the construction provide a cool sleep surface.
Kind Regards, Mike.
