Mattress Woes!

[cib77]

Due to back, shoulder, neck pain in 2011 I bought a new mattress - Ergoflex.

It was great for support however I kept overheating so changed it in 2012 to premium mattress that was great for 4/5 years but then started to sink and again cause the same issues plus now arms going to sleep (pins and needles in both arms) whilst asleep.

In 2021 it was changed to a Medium tension Silentnight Geltex Ultra 3000 mattress.
Was great for 5/6months however once again I am getting pins and needles and back pain.

I have a spare room mattress that was bought a decade ago and have experimented that whist I sleep on it, I have minimal issues.

I am a side sleeper, weigh 50kg (partner 70kg) and use a medium firm pillow.

Any suggestions which mattress available in the UK would be a good option and does not cost more than 1k?

Hi @cib77, we're just giving your thread a bump in case anyone's around to give you some suggestions.

I can't recommend a mattress but we used the Dreams Sleepmatch service in store. It gives a number of suitable options based on your weight and sleeping position. We selected the one we liked but it was too expensive for us. The manager checked and he had a couple of seconds in store. They was nothing wrong with either, just a couple of small dirty marks where the plastic outer wrapping had been damaged. They were 70% off

Can't recommend any specific mattress but going by what u have said and my recent experience, avoid a zonal mattress.

I tried expensive latex zonal mattress and had to send it back. In the end of opted for a basic medium/firm non-zonal mattress which is fine. But it's quite firm do not everyone's cup of tea.

It seems to me that as soon as yours sinks in, it causes u problems.

I paid £1000 for an Octosmart Hybrid Luxury mattress
Absolutely love it , worth every penny
Sleep better and longer , no aches
