Tempur mattress is giving me back pains. Your recommendation?

Hi Trish Barton,

Thanks for your question,

Side sleepers need to avoid anything too firm in the top layers as this will simply serve to cause pressure point pains in places such as shoulders, hips and knees.

At your body weights on a traditional pocket sprung mattress we ourselves would match you both with a Medium spring tension to get the right level of support;

Given your the pains you are experiencing I would agree that it is too firm in the comfort layers, we would guide you to something more medium or soft in the top layers. Have a look at our Origins Pocket 1500, Artisan Naturals and Artisan Luxury mattresses.

The Origins range is our starter range of pocket sprung mattresses constructed with synthetic fillings and a true medium feel in the top layers giving a slight sink but not too much.

Our Artisan range is again pocket sprung mattresses but this range has natural fillings in the construction that provide a cool sleep surface. The Naturals is our true medium in the top layers and also our best selling model. The Luxury is the softest mattress that we retail giving that luxurious sink in sensation.

I hope this has answered your questions fully but if you do have any further queries please don’t hesitate to contact our office on 0161 437 4419. We are open Monday to Friday 8am to 8pm and Saturday and Sunday 10am to 4pm.
