Hi
Found your website very informative – but I would like to ask which would be the best Memory Foam for me ?
I’ve found MF to be very comfortable. Now though it doesn’t ‘remember’ -therefore doesn’t return to its original flat surface. I lay on my side – and all my weight is on that spot so when I get out of bed – the indentation remains there.
I’m very overweight – 19 stone 7 lbs
My height is 5 ft 3 ins
Have lower back pain
Arthritic hips
Won’t go on ….. as the list of my ailments is never ending.
Hi Kats, Given your weight the problem you will have is that most memory foam is only manufactured to a weight tolerance of 16-18 stone. Even then it is very soft and the life span of it is reduced significantly to say a 12 stone sleeper I’m afraid. Given the weight the foam will compress far quicker than normal and won’t return to its original shape. You will find this with nearly all foams once you reach 18 stone plus I’m afraid.
I would only recommend 85kg memory foam which is rarely used in the UK mainly as its simply too firm for most people. We don’t use this foam for this reason.
A better design would be to look at our new range of mattresses for heavier sleepers. We have designed these with both weight and comfort in mind as many retailers and bed sellers don’t stock mattresses that are both supportive and comfortable for this weight range. We think thats unfair so have designed some and are in the process of testing the prototypes with customers as a final seal of approval. For these models I’ve used a mix of high density foam layers for the support and then hybrid foams or latex for the topper layer which is the comfort layer of the mattress. These mattresses are completely turnable and have removable turnable toppers which can be replaced if they become compressed, like your current memory foam, rather than the entire mattress.
If you’re interested please get in touch as we are offering these prototype models at a significant reduction. All we ask is your feedback once you’ve had it a few weeks. We do offer the love it or return it guarantee on them providing they are standard sizes. If you want to discuss further please give us a call Kats. Lee
