Hi - we currently have a slatted base Super-King bed but the slats are about 4 or 5 inches apart so I realise that we may be best to put a solid board down instead. We currently have a pillow-top mattress which I think is a Sealy. It weighs a ton, is so heavy it's hard to lift up the corners to put sheets on and as we've had it for many years now there are definite dents where we sleep with a ridge in the middle.
We both weigh between 12 and 14 stone. I'm 5' 6" and my husband is 5' 11". I have fibromyalgia amongst other things, and my husband has CFS/ME so neither of us sleep very well and wake up with lots of aches and pains so we're hoping that a new mattress would help, though I doubt there's anything that can be done about our respective snoring!
We don't have a huge budget so the Artisan Luxury range wouldn't be an option, but we would consider buying a mattress topper with a new mattress as I understand from your site that that's recommended and I'm very "princess and the pea"-ish about feeling mattress stitching and tufts. Ideally we'd like to try a zip and link, partly because the delivery men had to bend the current mattress to get it upstairs, but also to help with my husband's sleep as I toss and turn a lot! I had wondered about a memory foam one, but having read about the heat issues I don't think that would be suitable.
Apologies for the complicated requirements. We'd really appreciate your advice re which of your mattresses would be the most suitable for us.
Regards,
Maggie
