Choosing Your Bed
Below are standard guidelines that manufacturers and retailers offer to assist in the choice of a bed that suits you. Again, they are only guidelines and we would never recommend that you purchase a bed without trying it.
Lying on your back, slide your hand between the base of your spine and the mattress. If you cannot easily do that then the mattress may be too soft. If there is a hollow, the mattress may be too firm. Ideally your hand should just be a snug fit.
Recommended Level of Support
This chart is a guide only. Everyone has a personal preference and only the individual can decide on the right support for them.
| Individual's Weight | Soft | Medium | Firm |
|---|---|---|---|
| Up to 77 Kg (12 Stones) |
|||
| 77 Kg – 102 Kg (12 – 16 Stones) |
|||
| Over 102 Kg (Over 16 Stones) |
If there is an extremely large discrepancy between a couples weight then two different tension mattresses can be zipped together. For more information see the zipping and linking section.
