Latex mattress for back problems

Simone asked
18th August 2014

Hello We are interested in buying a latex super king mattress.

My husband weighs 13 stone and I weigh 9 stone.

I have a hip bursitis problem and my husband lower back problem.

Can you please advise which of your mattresses would be best suited to us.

We have recently returned from holiday in Spain and slept on a latex mattress, although only a rental property so it wouldn’t have been high end, and found it suited us.

Kind regards

Hi Simone,

Thank you for your question.

Based on your weights I’d recommend a medium density latex as I do not think anything firmer would be suitable due to your health issues. You need something soft enough to mould to your body shape but supportive enough to hold you there, especially if you have hip and back problems.

Our fusion 3 is a medium density 100% Natural Latex mattress.  It is fully turnable and comes with a matching fully turnable 100% natural latex topper.

This allows both sleepers to find their own comfortable sleeping position as its offers just enough sink before support.  That is the beauty of latex as it can accommodate two different weights very easily.  There is also minimal transference i.e. bounce when someone rolls or moves in the night.

Latex is a natural milk taken from the rubber tree which when converted into a foam provides superior comfort and durability.

Latex is not heat retentive like some other foams and has a rapid response rate; this means it returns to its original shape very quickly. It is often classed as the top end mattress foam material.
