Hi John and Ryan, I hope you can help me choose the right mattress. I have been through four mattresses in the past 18 months!!!

I weigh only 6 stone. Initially I tried a Relyon memory pocket 1200 mattress and didn't find it comfortable due to the sinking feeling of memory foam and waking up with upper back pain every morning. The next mattress was one from a local bed shop which was extremely firm for me. After that I bought a 1500 pocket sprung mattress (with a label name of Deep Sleep) from another small bed store. It was a good mattress, and it was specified as medium firm, however I found it too firm as well. After an uncomfortable time with those mattresses, now I have a soft open coil mattress, bought from Benson Beds, however it is giving me neck, shoulder and upper back pain. All this has been such a waste of money too. I really don't know what to choose next. I would be very grateful if you could suggest a suitable pocket sprung mattress for my body weight. Many thanks, Rita .

Hi Rita,
 
At your body weight, we would pair you with the soft spring tension to give you the correct level of support.
 

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)


 
From what you have said it would appear that your current mattress is too firm for you in the upholstery.  The comfort layers should be based on personal preferences and sleeping habits ie. nothing too soft if you sleep on your back and nothing firm if you are a side sleeper.  You do not say what your preferences are but I would recommend you have a look at our Artisan range where you can have the spring tension selected to suit.  With the correct spring tension, the upholstery can then be tweaked with an additional mattress topper to get the right level of comfort for yourself.

I hope this was helpful and if you would like to discuss the suitability of any of our mattresses please do not hesitate to contact the office on 0161 437 4419.
 
Kind Regards
