I weigh 14 stone the wife’s 11 stone I do have problems with knee dislocation and artheritis i’m only 30, we have a slatted bed frame and are looking for a good mattress what would you recommend to us as a good/better/best solution.

I have tried out one of simmons ifusion 1000 mattresses and found it quite comfortable if that helps any, just don’t want to buy it if it’s not a very good mattress I am aware it’s cheap though.

Hi Richard.

The Simmons ifusion 1000 is a basic construction of 1000 pocket springs in a Foam Encapsulated unit with 4cm of Memory Foam as the primary layer £599 KS.

For slightly more (£670) we would pitch our Origins Latex 1500 as a far better ‘pound for pound’ alternative.

51500 Spun Bond Pocket Springs

In cases like yours it is always best to try mattresses from stores that are deemed ‘good’ and use the opportunity to try a well made traditional built mattress to get an idea of what constitutes a ‘good’ mattress so that you are aware of what constitutes run of the mill tat most often retailed from the multiple sheds.

Hope this helps.
