Enchantment

Pete Jones asked
1st August 2016

Hi, my wife and I both suffer with low back pain and as such we look for medium to firm mattresses. Our current mattress is an Ikea one which is just not offering any support.
We went to Dreams today and lay on the Enchantment by Oppulesence. It felt comfortable and the right level of support for what we wanted, however after looking on your site it does not seem to be as easier at that!?
We would be grateful if you could offer any thoughts on this mattress and maybe suggestions as to a mattress that may be suitable?
My wife is a side sleeper and I sleep on my back /front.
Thanks
Pete

Hi Pete,

 

Thanks for your question.

I have viewed the details of the Enchantment and note that it is in essence a pocket sprung mattress with a memory foam top layer and is described as firm.

 

We would need to know your body weights in order to discuss suitable spring tension;

 

BodyweightSpring tension
Upto 16 Stone / 50-101kgMedium (1.4mm)
16 Stone / 101kg UpwardsFirm (1.6mm)
Available in Bespoke Products (Please Call)Soft (1.2mm)

 

What I can say is that the Enchantment is one sided, which in itself can reduce the life span of the mattress because it can only be rotated and turned.

I note that you both suffer from back pain and previous medical advice was that if you suffer from back aches and pains, that you ought to opt for a firm mattress. That advice is now being contradicted in that what is required is an appropriate spring tension to provide support for your body weights together with more medium upholstery to provide the correct level of comfort.

 

Have a look at our Artisan Naturals or Bespoke 004. Both have that medium feeling upholstery giving a slight sink but not too much. The main difference here is that the Bespoke 004 has a full 100% natural fillings whereas the Naturals has 85%.

 

If you would like to call our office with full details of your body weights, we will be able to make a more definitive recommendation from our ranges. Our office can be contacted on 0161 437 4419. I hope that this helps.

 

Kind Regards, Lee.
