My Jensen mattress is too hard

Lyn asked
29th September 2015

I have a jensen mattress just over a year old and I find it much too hard despite its having a 7 cm topper. I am therefore considering changing it for a 100 % latex mattress (I will keep the topper). I am a side sleeper but have shoulder and hip problems so I would like a soft mattress that I will sink into. At the moment I find it more comfortable to sleep on the old mattress in the spare room. The trouble is I am hesitant to spend money on another mattress as the jensen was expensive until I am absolutely sure it is going to be comfortable for me.

Hi Lyn,

 

Thanks for your question.

 

There could be a number of reasons for this but the main reasons we find are that either the mattress-guide/” title=”spring”>spring tension is wrong or the mattress doesn’t have the correct feel for you.

 

Usually, a topper is introduced to soften down any mattress that is feeling too firm.

 

Sleeping habits can also factor into the decision making process. For example, side sleepers should avoid anything too firm in the top layers so it doesn’t cause pressure point pains and front sleepers should avoid anything too soft in the top layers so it doesn’t cause an unnatural curvature in your back.

 

We would need to know your body weight as well as preferred feel in the top layers to discuss suitability of models with ourselves.

 

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

 

We have 2 traditional pocket sprung mattress ranges; Our Origins and Artisan ranges. The difference between them is that the Artisan range is constructed using natural fillings; Ideal for anyone who identifies as a hot sleeper.

 

 

As a comparison the Artisan Bespoke is our firmest mattress in the top layers, our Artisan Naturals is our true medium feeling model and our Artisan Luxury is our softest mattress in the top layers. These compare with the Vi-Spring Herald, Regal Superb and Devonshire respectively. You can find those comparison models in stores such as Furniture Village, Harrods, House of Fraser or And So To Bed.

 

I hope this has answered your questions fully but if you do have any further queries please don’t hesitate to contact our office on 0161 437 4419.

 

Kind Regards, Lee.
