Mattress choice help

[MrsChanny111]

Dear all

I suffer with a bad neck and hip pain. I'm 16st. I had a John Ryan latex 1400 spring mattress and although it was comfortable for the first 2 yrs it does now sag and dip in the middle.
I am thinking about a Hypnos but not sure what tension - medium or firm? Has anyone bought a Gainsborough mattress?
Could people start a discussion please as a mattress purchase is so expensive when you have health issues.

Sorry that you haven't had any responses @MrsChanny111. Have you purchased one yet?

I hope you get the advice you need OP.
We recently bought a new mattress but weren't told that it can't be used on both sides like our old mattress. We will get half the lifetime of our old mattress out of the new one. It's cr*p - sags and we are so disappointed, we had waited so long for a new mattress.
It was over €1000.
A guy sent by the manufacturer came to check it after I complained to the retailer. He said it was grand of course he did.

That's just awful @LadyEloise1

I bought DS a cheapest mattress from Argos during lockdown as we were renovating his room and they delivered.

I knew that you couldn't turn it over but as it was cheap and I knows that he'd be going to Uni in a couple of years I didn't think it mattered.

And actually it's really quite comfy but it doesn't have two people sleeping on it regularly.

I have a John Ryan which apparently is medium-firm but too soft for me, every time I sleep on it I have a back pain. So I gave it to my son.
I found a best mattress which is about 5 times cheaper then John Ryan called Joseph VIP pocket spring 3000. Very firm and comfortable.

I've just got a naturalex full foam one that's extra firm as I suffer back and hip pain and it's bloody glorious. Will never use a spring one again
