Mattress recommended for two female people both around 9 st 5’5?

Heather asked

What mattress do you advise for two female people both around 9 st 5’5″ – currently we have a 2 yr old Myers Ortho pocket sprung with memory foam which I wake very stiff and with sore back and joints. As the mattress is not really that old it isn’t that the mattress dips or anything. I’m beginning to read that it may be too hard for our weights? I thought the orthopaedic would be good as I had a road traffic accident and had a number of fractures to my spine. thx

Hi Heather,

Thank you for your enquiry.

Any mattress with the word “Ortho” in the title is likely to be on the firm side and with your particular body weights, we would never recommend such a product for you. It is likely that this is the cause of your aches and pains as the correct spring tension for you both would be soft. In addition, we do not recommend memory foam for the reasons detailed in this article.

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

It was previously the case that if you had back issues you ought to opt for a firm mattress, but that advice has now been reversed and you should look to obtain the right spring tension to support your body weight and then look at the upholstery to provide the right level of comfort required.
