Hi was going to buy this mattress on Groupon as I thought it was a bargain price but stumbled across your website and am interested to see what you would recommend. 11 months ago I had a baby and with my baby has come back problems. At the moment I blame our mattress as well. Would you recommend this mattress?

If not what is your recommendations?

Thanks

Hi June,

Thanks for your question.

I cannot access the details of this particular mattress – please copy and paste the information and I can be a bit more specific. A mattress is only a bargain if its suitable for your bodyweight and you know the exact GSM inside it. If you don’t know what’s in this bargain mattress, you are just guessing I’m afraid! This is the same with coupon voucher sites, eBay and other auctions for low price mattresses.

In order to discuss suitable models with us, we would need to know your body weights, preferred feel and sleeping habits as these all factor into a mattress choice.

A good model to start with is the Origins 1500 which is a medium feel if you are over 8 stone in weight. We also have a handy table showing what to expect for your money below which should help.
