What mattress for different weights?
Hi, We are looking for a king size mattress I am 5ft 6 weighing 10.5 stone and my husband is 6ft weighing 21stone rugby muscular build, the issue we have is that my husband fidgets through the night and I am a light sleeper and therefore my sleep is always disturbed!
What would you recommend?
Thanks in advance
Hi Helen,
Thanks for your question.
Because there is a significant difference in your body weights and because of the fidgeting issue, I would recommend that you look to purchase a Zip and Link set of mattresses.
This has two advantages, the first being that you can opt for different spring tensions to suit your body weights and secondly, the separate sleeping surface means that there is less chance of disturbance if one of you moves during the night as you can't transfer movement between the individual entities.
In order to make a suitable recommendation from our Origins or Artisan ranges we would need to know your sleeping habits, preferred and if there are any heat issues during sleep.
At your body weights you will need a dual tension of one half a Medium spring for you and the other half a Firm spring for your husband;
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) |
I trust this helps but if you have any further queries please don't hesitate to contact our office on 0161 437 4419.
Kind Regards, Lee.
