What is the best mattress for chronic insomniac?

Carlton asked
13th October 2014

Hi, I am probably going to ask for the unattainable, but nothing ventured.

I need a new mattress having had a non turn mattress which has died on my wife’s side after repeated sitting in the same place.

I bought it as an orthopaedic bed ( I realise there is no scientific evidence.).

I am by every definition a chronic insomniac, 6’4″ my wife is 5’9″.

I weigh about 13 stone 7lb and she is lighter.

I have lower back pain from time to time and have always thought I needed a really firm bed.

Your mattresses look fantastic and my query is, is it time to invest in a top of the range king size with yourselves and would a medium bed provide sufficient support for me.

The other thing is I toss and turn a lot, which can be very disruptive to my wife.

Again advice on the best mattress.

I am not that keen on the idea of one side of the mattress being firmer than the other.

Many thanks..

Ps I have generally had cheaper mattresses throughout my 45 years.

Hi Carlton,

There is no evidence to support the theory that if you have back problems you require a firm mattress, in fact, what you do need is support and comfort, which can be achieved with a medium tension mattress particularly with your body weights.

I note that you would prefer to same tension across the mattress, but you disturb your wife from time to time with your movement in bed.

This can be resolved by opting for a zip and link set of mattresses.

The old adage of “you get what you pay for” applies as buying a cheap mattress is false economy in the short term.

Please view our Artisan range of mattresses which are very competitively priced and represent excellent value for money when you consider the components used therein.

Any of these mattresses can be provided in a zip and link version from king size upwards.
