My husband is 5″ 11  15 stone I am 5″4 & 10 stone, we bought a £600 all foam mattress and myself & my husband have been waking up with bad backs, I also have restless nights sleep because my hip hurts, and my husband suffers with Sciatica. We both feel our mattress is making everything worse.The mattress is 4yrs old. Would you suggest soft, medium or firm mattress for us.

Hi there,

Thank you for your enquiry.

With your particular body weights, we would suggest that you opt for a medium spring tension mattress. It is likely that your aches and pains are as a result of the mattress you have not providing enough support for you both. If you are placing any of our mattresses on a slatted base, we would advocate placing some form of barrier, usually thin (3-5mm) MDF over the slats to provide the mattress with a uniform surface upon which to sit and prevent ridging occurring as a result of the mattress dipping into the gaps between the slats.

 

Artisan Bespoke 004 mattress

Please view the Origins Pocket 1500, which has a standard medium tension spring unit and man-made upholstery providing an overall medium feel. Alternatively, if your current budget permits, please view the Artisan Naturals or Artisan Bespoke 004, both of which can have the spring tension selected to suit and both of which will provide a similar feel provided by natural upholstery. The Naturals has 85% natural upholstery whereas the 004 has 100%. The Origins Pocket 1500 and Artisan Naturals are the best selling products in their respective ranges, as detailed at the foot of this response.

We trust that this helps, but if you require any further advice or guidance, please call our office on 0161 437 4419 and speak with one of our advisors.

Kind Regards.
