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,
Thank you for reaching out with your question! We understand that choosing the right mattress is an important decision, as it can significantly impact your sleep quality and overall well-being.
Memory Foam is well known for heat retention and I am surprised that the Tempur mattress is appearing too soft, as these are normally on the firmer side. We explain all about memory foam here.
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 you are looking for a mattress that provides exceptional comfort and support while also ensuring that you do not experience excessive heat retention. The use of pocket springs is an excellent choice - we explain all about springs here. In this regard, they are designed to contour to your body's unique shape, offering targeted support where you need it most. Additionally, pocket springs allow for enhanced airflow throughout the mattress, helping to regulate your body temperature and keep you cool throughout the night. This combination of comfort, support, and breathability makes pocket springs an ideal solution for those seeking a restful and rejuvenating sleep experience.
However when choosing a pocket sprung mattress, you need to ensure that you both receive the correct level of support together with the correct level of comfort. As explained above, it is the pocket springs which provide the support based upon your body weights and heights, whereas comfort is provided by the upholstery fillings which atop the spring unit. At your body weights and heights, you both require a medium spring tension and this would be the case whichever of our mattresses you choose. As the comfort level is dictated by either personal choice or by your sleeping positions, this is explained within the article here.
In order for us to provide tailored advice, please telephone our office and speak with one of our friendly team who will be able to collate full information from you in order to recommend the best mattress for support and comfort.
Kind Regards, Julie
