Side sleeper waking with sore shoulders

Ben asked
31st March 2017

We currently have a La Romantica Lovell Coolmax double Mattress (pocket sprung with memory foam on top) and it has been very comfy until recently where I have started waking up with aching shoulders that can last all day. The mattress is almost 7 years old so we were thinking it may be time to replace it. The mattress is on a wooden slatted base, with gaps of around 7cm.
We are both side sliders. I’m 5 ft 11 and around 10.5 stone stone and my partner is 5ft 6 and around 9.5 stone.
Any bed recommendations would be appreicated.

Hi Ben

Thanks for your question.

If you got on with the memory foam top layer of your mattress until recently, have you considered a solid foam or solid latex mattress with no springs.

The Hybrid 4 made from hybrid foams, has a soft topper with a medium support core mattress which would work really well for you both at your body weights, and the soft topper is ideal for side sleepers.

The Fusion 3 is the 100% natural latex model, that would give you a medium support, and the separate topper gives the mattress a slightly softer edge, again good for side sleepers.

Both the hybrid foam and solid latex, have a similar support type feel to memory foam, but the added benefit of both being less heat retentive and cooler, and both more responsive to movement.

If you require any further assistance please call the office on 0161 437 4419.
