Hi Lynda, Thanks for your question. Sorry to hear your partner is suffering from shoulder and neck pain from your current mattress. Given the weight differences between you and your partner, you ideally need either a split tension or a Zip and Link mattress. If… Read More
Hi Isabella, Thanks for your question. It sounds from your aches and pains that maybe your mattress is too soft for you and is, therefore, giving you aches and pains. This is probably because you’re not supported enough during the night by the softer… Read More
Hi Sam, Thanks for your enquiry, Shop bought mattresses simply can’t cope, with heavier body weights, and retailers will only ever guarantee a mattress for an individual sleeper of 18 stone.

When I say usually, all manufacturers are slightly different and there’s no single definition of accepted tensions. Frustrating huh! We, however have our own tension guidance and you can see each… Read More
Hi Helen, Thanks for getting in touch. Coincidentally I’ve just finished writing a new post on mattress bases and squeaky mattresses! Right, squeaky mattresses, what a nightmare.
