shoulder and neck pain

Ahmad Asmar asked

Hello Dear,
I have a Sealy Harbour “Plush” mattress, 180*200, but it doesnt feel soft, its a medium mattress. ever since ive bought it(3 years now), ive been suffering from shoulders and neck pains, i even changed many many pillows, thinking the problem could be from them. but all i get is a slight relief with soft and yet supportive pillows.
I weight 85Kg and my wife is 50kg, she also sometimes but not often, wake up with neck pains, but she says it could be from the pillow.
I don’t know what to buy, too bad you do not ship to Saudi Arabia as i reside here. A friend recommended Tempur Cloud, i tried it at the store, its very soft and tempting, but i dont know if it will suit me.
Waiting for your advice. Thank you

Hi Ahmad,

Thank you for your enquiry.  Looking at the specifications of your current mattress the Sealy Harbour Plush mattress, it is classed as a soft feeling mattress, which at your current body weights should be feeling much softer for yourself, than your wife at her much lighter weight. Your 85kg bodyweight is more in line with a medium level of support. Have you considered that it could be too soft for your weight, and if you are sinking into it too much, it could be putting an unnatural strain on your neck, especially when using a pillow as well?

 

I would say if you liked the feeling of the Tempur Cloud mattress, check with the store you are going to buy it from, to see if they have a returns policy, just in case you don’t get on with the Tempur mattress, you will be able to return it for a refund.

 

If I can be of any further assistance please do not hesitate to call the office on 0161 437 4419.

Kind Regards Gary
