Hi, I’m 5’1″ and around 65kg with fibromyalgia. I’m a very restless sleeper due to constant pain and move position multiple times during the night. I usually get on average 4hrs sleep per night.My husband is 6’2″ and around 85kg and complains of a bad back occasionally but generally sleeps well.Please can you recommend a mattress suitable for us both and the benefits your recommendation will give us.Thanks in advance

Hi

We’re so sorry to hear you’re struggling with Fibromyalgia. It’s a really frustrating condition that affects 1 in 20 people. It can ruin sleep patterns and cause endless pain if your mattress isn’t rectified. let’s see how we can help.

I would recommend you take a look at the Fusion 3 100% Natural Latex mattress, which will give you both a medium support level but with the added benefit of the moulding sensation that latex offers taking away the pressure from aching joints. If you’re struggling with joint pain latex can be ideal as it immediately conforms to any pressure applied to it. Unlike memory foam which is heat retentive and slow to react Latex is very progressive. It also limits transference and movement between sleepers. As does a Zip and Link traditional mattress which maybe suitable for you both if one if more restless than the other.

If you wanted a pocket spring mattress, we would look at the Artisan Luxury model which has the softest top upholstery layers we create in a mattress, and I would recommend a medium tension spring in this model to give you both the correct support. The Artisan Luxury is 100% Natural fibre and is more breathable than the latex so allows for a cooler sleep surface. It really depends on which ‘sensation’ you prefer. The moulding of the latex or the more progressive sink of a pocket sprung mattress.

Have a look at those two models and then please get back in touch if you require any further assistance.  0161 437 4419.
