Hi! I am looking for recommendations/ advice about getting a new a mattress.
I recently bought a firmer 1000 pocket sprung mattress and unfortunately I am not liking it. Some info about me - I'm a side sleeper and occasional stomach sleeper, I weigh around 100kg, I also have a partner, however he doesn't live with me so wouldn't sleep on the mattress each night, he weighs around 70-80 kg.
The new mattress I bought causes me lower back pain and stiffness, I feel that the lower part of my body lays lower than the upper body and I think this is what causing me the back pain, I also feel pressure on my bum when I lay on my back and pressure on my hips when I lay on my side.
I am unsure what the problem is, this is my first time purchasing a brand new mattress. I like a firmer feel however I think I need a topper as its too firm for me as a side sleeper. My worry is that me getting a topper won't solve my lower back pain issue. I just feel very uncomfortable, tense and stiff and night and in the morning. I tried putting a thin towel under my lower back but it didn't help.
There is a biblical amount of information and mattress options online however I find it to be very overwhelming. I also went to Dreams, Matressman and Bensons to try mattresses out and I wasn't sure what I liked as it all felt the same to me.
Could someone recommend a brand or a specific mattress with features similar to mine please?
