Mattress for arthritis
dear sirs, I am a 6′ 2″ male weighing 11stone 10lbs and I am 92years old. I have slightly arthritic knees but otherwise healthy. I want to purchase a double divan bed within the price range up to £800. What do you suggest please?
Regards, F. Biddulph.
Dear Mr Biddulph,
Thanks for your question.
I note that you have provided details of your weight and budget, but have omitted to advise upon what your preferred feel is.
Notwithstanding this, for your body weight, we would recommend a medium spring tension to get the correct level of support.
| Bodyweight | Spring tension |
|---|---|
| Upto 16 Stone / 50-101kg | Medium (1.4mm) |
| 16 Stone / 101kg Upwards | Firm (1.6mm) |
| Available in Bespoke Products (Please Call) | Soft (1.2mm) |
I would then advise to have a look at something like our Origins Comfort 1000 or Artisan Luxury. Both have a soft comfort layer with the Luxury being the softest overall.
Both should allow pressure relief for your arthritis.
My main concern here is that the Artisan Luxury is well outside of your budget.
I hope this helps but if you have any further queries please don’t hesitate to contact our office on 0161 437 4419.
Kind Regards, John and Ryan.
