Hi Peter,

Thank you for your enquiry.  You don't say what model your mattress is but it would appear that your current Dunlopillo mattress is to firm for you, causing pressure pains.  As you are no doubt aware foam based mattresses are a lot more flexible than the traditional pocket sprung mattress, which makes it easier to manoeuvre them when there is limited access.  We do have a couple of options available that may be suitable for you and your wife.

 

 

Our Hybrid 4, comparable with the Tempur Cloud 27 if you want to try it in a showroom to see if you like the progressive sink, is a medium support with a softer topper.  Both the core mattress and the topper are fully turnable, which can prolong the lifetime of your mattress and when the topper is no longer as responsive as it is as new, simply replace it.  Much cheaper than replacing the whole mattress.

 

	Hybrid 4	Tempur Cloud 27
Cover	Micro-quilt John Ryan Cover with tape edged damask sides	1.5cm extra soft quilted polyester cover

3	5cm 60kg Laygel	8cm Durable base layer
4	10cm Reflex Support Foam	8cm Durable base layer
Total Depth	28.5cm + 3-5cm for the quilted cover	27cm

 

 

The Fusion 3, comparable with the Dunlopillo Royal Sovereign, is also a medium support with a replaceable, turnable soft topper for that extra comfort.  Our Fusion range is made with 100% natural latex.

 

	Fusion 3	Dunlopillo Royal Sovereign
Cover	Micro-quilt John Ryan Cover with tape edged damask sides	2cm quilted cover with Actipro
1	5cm 100% 70kg Natural Latex	NA
2	18cm 100% 70kg Natural Latex	19cm Latex (Density & blend unknown)
Total Depth	23cm + 3-5 cm for the quilted cover	21cm

 

We wouldn't recommend any foam based mattress on a slatted base.  All foam bases mattresses, whether hybrid foams like our Hybrid range, latex foam like our Fusion range or memory foam require a solid and consistent surface and which removes the issue of the slats causing dipping or damage to your mattress.  Just as the mattress conforms to your body, they also mould around the slats.  The slats can also nip and bite the mattress fabric over time causing tears and snags but by boarding over with a 3 - 5 mm piece of MDF or Plywood and using say a cheap duvet or blanket to cover the base you can avoid having your slats damage the mattress.
