Which spring tension/upholstery for me?

I had to replace my mattress about a year ago and unfortunately I've not had a decent night's sleep since I did. I wake up two or three times every night without fail, tossing and turning and in the morning find I am aching and have lower back pain. My current mattress is Medium Firm (which I think is the main problem as it is just too hard) with 1400 pocket springs, and a cashmere/fibre, wool & cotton filling.
I am 5 ft 10 inches tall and weigh 11 stone (70kg) and mainly sleep on my side but occasionally on my back too. I am looking for a King Size Mattress to replace my current one in the hope of being able to sleep again and would really welcome your recommendations as to the best mattress to choose. I don't have a huge budget, but I really need to be able to sleep through again without constantly waking up and feeling worse than before I went to bed!
I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind Regards
Simon
Hi Simon,
Sorry to hear you're suffering from your current mattress. Waking up in pain is awful so let's see if we can help. It may be that the spring gauge in your mattress is firm when really for your weight you should be on a medium.
We would agree with you that at your height and weight a medium firm would be too firm for you. It means you end up conforming to the mattress rather than it conforming to you! Hence the aches and pains.
Given you state you have a limited budget we would recommend you look at our Origins 1500 model, which is a medium tension and will have a nice medium sink for someone of your proportions. It's two sided and fully turnable whilst being jam packed with upholstery. The details of the upholstery are listed below for ease.
| John Ryan By Design Origins 1500 | |
|---|---|
| 1 | 300gsm Wool |
| 2 | 750gsm Very Soft Polyester |
| 3 | 500gsm Polyester Pad |
| 4 | One Inch Foam Insulator Layer |
| 5 | 1500 Spun Bond Pocket Springs |
We think this would be far more forgiving for you and should aid a much better nights sleep! If you need any more help please give our friendly team a call on 0161 437 4419. We look forward to hearing from you in due course.
All the best
