Replacing a ikea sultan mattress and sultan topper

steve wheeldon asked

hello, I am considering a latex mattress as I sleep on my front and have a difficult time getting a good nights sleep at home. I visited Germany for a fortnight last year and slept on a hotel foam mattress which was the best sleep I had, had, in years.
I have a sultan base, mattress and topper from ikea at the moment and i’m considering replacing the mattress with a latex model (fusion 5) I am 14 stone and my partner is 8.5 stone. we have always thought the sultan was too firm hence the topper aswell. any advice would be appreciated in the choice of a mattress.
kind regards
steve

Hi Steve,

Sorry to hear you’re not sleeping well on your Ikea mattress. It does sound like maybe it’s too firm from the information you’ve provided. 

Germany and Austria are miles ahead of the UK in terms of mattresses. They have some incredible designers there and latex is always top of the list as it’s so progressive.

The Fusion 5 would be suitable for your weights if you want a medium support.

16-18 Stone / 101-114kgMedium to Soft
18 Stone / 114kg PlusPlease call for advice

Moving up to a Fusion 3 would give you the additional topper for a deeper comfort layer providing you with a softer sinking sensation with a medium support.
