Deirdre Gough asked
7th February 2019

I am looking for a new mattress for two reasons. One is back/neck pain and the other is I get tooooooooooo hot at night. I am a 66 year old woman. 9.5 stone and 5’5″ height. I currently have an Eve mattress with a Tempur topper. I sleep on a Super King mattress on a divan base. 2 or 3 nights a week I sleep with my partner who is 5’10” and about 11stone. I prefer natural fibres and wanted Latex but I understand you are no longer able to source it. I would like your recommendation. thank you deirdre [email protected]

Hi Deirdre,
 
Thank you for your enquiry. From what you have said it would appear that your current mattress has incorrect support causing you to suffer from backache and neck pain.  At your body weight we would pair you with a medium spring tension to give you the correct level of support, this would also support your partner at their body weight.
 

 
Both the Eve mattress and Tempur mattress topper are made with memory foam which requires body heat in order to be able to mould to your body. It retains this heat and feeds it back to you making many people too hot. Natural fibres offer the coolest sleep surface as they can wick away heat and moisture quicker than synthetic.  Different fibres are used within each model to create different feels in the upholstery. Which model you chose should be determined by your sleeping habits and comfort preferences.
 
I hope this is helpful and if you would like to discuss the suitability of any of our mattresses please do not hesitate to contact the office on 0161 437 4419.
 
Kind Regards
Michaela
