I find mattresses are so subjective that it’s hard to give advice on specific types. What I would recommend is to go to John Lewis and test every single mattress they have in your price range and then find the one you like on sale elsewhere and get JL to price match it for you We ended up choosing the Tempur Pro Luxe SC - Medium Firm, which has helped with some lingering back issues I’ve suffered with
I absolutely love my LuxeBreeze soft, overspent on the base, we got the prosmart when we should have just gotten the ergo. Next mattress will be tempur again.
Tempur cooling elite. Not cheap but I got mine for £1200 from their outlet website
Best firm mattress I ever had was a tempurpedic from about 10 years ago, I got the medium firm due to a serious back injury, and that was as perfect of a bed I’ve ever experienced. It was absolutely bliss to sleep on.
As a man, I spend most of my life in 4 places, my boots, my bed, my socks and underwear. They all hold their worth, but my boots and mattress matter more than anything else. Tempurpedic was lifechanging. Im on my sexond one. For boots, i tried just about all of them, until I developed plantar fascitis so bad i hated life. Discovered Nicks boots and they legitimately healed my feet. A few other brands I've taken too, duckfeet, limmer, zamberlan, meindl. For beds I absolutely love tempurpedic. There's only one other bed I want to try at this point and that's a Japanese brand called the airweave.
Have a medium firm Tempur one that we got after using the machine in Dreams to identify what type of mattress suits me and my other half and we love it. It's massively improved aches and pains in the morning and sleep quality
Not sure firm is what he need! I had sciatica and found medium foam mattress was perfection. I have lots of back issues and love a medium firm tempurpedic husband loves it too. A sleep number might be perfect where you can experiment
I’m pretty sure this is what we have but in medium firm, initially got it in medium but found it too soft so swapped it for a medium firm. I find the medium firm slightly too firm so I have a topper on my side but the medium was too soft for my husband (and I much prefer the medium firm with a topper to the medium alone). Very happy with it
I've spent most of my life on cheap mattresses, I tried fancy covers and always used a box spring. We just dropped 14k for the temperpedic luxebreeze in medium firm, split king with adjustable bases. Best sleep of my life. I currently have multiple bulging discs in my low back, one that was operated on in the past, and I have never slept well. I'm finally sleeping through the night for the first time in my life. It's amazing and I wish I had invested in a high quality mattress sooner
