I expect to be replacing my two 3ft Divan beds and mattress within the next 2 weeks because they have been deemed defective after 3 months with excessive settlement (measured by FIRA at 3.5cm). I should say these were not 'cheap' beds and were from a reputable manufacturer. My wife and myself are both in our 70's with bad backs. We are looking to purchase 2 x 3ft divans (total of four drawers) plus mattress that will not be subject to settlement. What would you recommend.

Always go to a good retailer and lie on a selection of beds to compare comfort and support. Only you can judge what is right for you.
Look for a combination of firm core support to hold your spine in correct alignment, with plenty of top layers creating a nice, soft sleeping surface.
Don’t head for the nearest orthopaedic bed – it may be too hard for you. You may have more back problems, but your joints will be more sensitive also.
Choose a bed with high lines. It will be easier to get in and out of.  A firmer bed is better for the same reasons and also for anyone who spends any length of time sitting up in bed. Similarly, a firm base – solid top, firm edge or one of the firmer sprung edge bases, will feel safer to anyone regularly sitting or leaning on the edge of a bed.
A soft sleeping surface makes for a warmer bed – it gives better insulation. Even firm beds can have softly quilted surfaces.

We have plenty of models to choose from and we are sure you will find one that is suitable for you and will provide you with many years of comfortable sleep.
