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.
