Mattress for large people
Can you help me please!
I am a large lady (over 20st) my husband is 15st. We have tried caged sprung, latex foam (adjustable bed at the time) cheap memory foam, expensive memory foam. fairly priced pocket spung (years ago) and combinations of all I have 2 mattresses in our loft I have been talked into buying. We now have an ottomen bed (so hard base) the mattress that came with it I was assured would be perfect for me as it was for very overweight people!
Its driving me mad after 9 months of trying it it’s awful when you sit on side the top of the mattress almost meets the bottom its like sitting on a board I am partialy disabled so spend a good deal of my time either sitting or lying on my bed.I have for the last few days been looking on line for a mattress that is a reasonable price and pocket sprung, but with ranges of pockets from 850 to 3500 iI am toataly confused, with what I have spent in mattress’s in the last 5 years I could have bought a really expensive one (but then it would be wrong for me with my luck with mattress’s. sorry this is so long .
Hi Denise,
Thank you for your enquiry on our website. We do have a range of mattresses that are designed for the larger sleeper. The Resilience range is consists of hybrid foams for individuals from 18 stone up to 30 stone. This would give you a medium feel mattress but would be firm for your husband.
A more suitable option may be a pocket sprung mattress. We can offer either a dual spring (one half a firm spring tension and one side a medium tension) or a zip and link. Both options are available in King Size and above. Zip and links are an ideal solution where access may be an issue or where tow different spring tensions are required. You would need one side a firm spring tension to give you the correct support and your husband would require a medium spring tension. Spring tension is dictated solely by an individuals body weight.
| 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) |
The Origins Pocket 1500 and the Origins Pocket Latex 1500 from our synthetic fibre range have the option of a dual spring tension and all of our natural fibre range, the Artisan range, have this option. Comfort layers are should be based on personal preferences and sleeping habits.
If you would like any further information please do not hesitate to contact the office on 0161 437 4419. Our office hours are 8 am – 8 pm Monday to Friday and 10 am – 4 pm Saturday and Sunday.
Kind Regards
