Best bed / mattress for back pain

Poor DH has suffered from back pain for quite a while. It's at its worst every morning and occasionally leaves him completely stuck and in agony (last time it happened, 111 sent an ambulance as they didn't believe he wasn't having a heart attack). To add to this, I've recently started to suffer from shoulder pain. We are both in our 50s, so on one level accept we will start to feel a degree of 'wear and tear', but we are both fit and a healthy weight, swim 2k plus every weekend, cycle regularly and walk 2-3 miles daily.

So, given we both make an effort to take care of ourselves physically, we are thinking that changing our bed is the next logical step. We currently have an Eve mattress on a slatted bed base. We are lucky in that if it was necessary, we are in a position to be able to make a significant investment if it is going to significantly improve things but we can't afford to chuck £££s at something that isn't going to help.

Can anyone recommend a mattress that has significantly improved back pain? And does anyone have an electric adjustable slatted bed-base as we'd also consider this if it was going to be life-changing?

This company was recommended to me. I'm not in the UK at the moment, but if I were looking at a new mattress, I think I would try these people. https://johnryanbydesign.co.uk/

It would help you to go to a store (John Lewis?) which had a lot of different brands and types and see which you and DH find more comfortable.
