Mattress that gets knelt on everyday

I know that there are are numerous threads on here with people asking mattress advice but mine is quite specific.
My bed is on a mezzanine frame up a ladder so we have to kneel on the mattress to get in bed if that makes sense?
All of our mattresses get squashed and the springs go on the end that is knelt on daily.
Advice please for one that will last a few years please.
No budget really other than not over £1200 if possible.
Thanks guys

Would a mattress without springs be an option (e.g. memory foam) that would appeal to you?0

I am open to any suggestions and I did think about memory foam but wondered if it would end up like a flat biscuit ?I’m a Senior Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Competitions Time, Shopping & Freebies boards, Employment, Jobseeking & Training boards If you need any help on these boards, do let me know.

Any independent bed shops near you? I recently bought a new mattress and divan and got great advice from them plus they will come and turn my mattress every three months or so.:j0

Look for a mattress that says it has edge support. You also want it to be hand tufted and have side stitching.
This is what real side stitching looks like. Fake will just be stitches not doing anything.
The edge support should protect the springs a bit. The tufting and side stitching will keep everything all tied together rather than shifting about inside.
But know that no matter what mattress you get, none of them are knee proof, so thes efeatures will only make your mattress last a longer but not forever.
Your budget is huge! I have no doubt that you'll be able to find a mattress that fits the above criteria for you, but also suits your sleep style. And if you know it isn't gonna last you very long, you could also consider only using half your budget but replacing it twice as soon.
Finally, you need to rotate your mattres so the same spot isn't always getting the knee.Hi. I'm a Board Guide on the Gaming, Consumer Rights, Ebay and Praise/Vent boards.

That is so helpful, Thank You ! :beer:
Out of interest, any recommendations? This one is hand tufted with edge support but side sticking doesn't look right.

I cant find one thats properly side stiched, hand tufted and edge support.I’m a Senior Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Competitions Time, Shopping & Freebies boards, Employment, Jobseeking & Training boards If you need any help on these boards, do let me know.

No the one you linked to doesn't have proper side stitching. It will look like the picture I linked to before.
I'd suggest looking at Relyon or Myers, side stitching and tufting are usually traits of the slightly better made mattresses. Sealy often have the thick steel rod around the perimeter in their mattresses.
Budget option: Healthopaedic Seville 1500 Memory Foam Mattress
It doesn't have a thick border edge though. In fairness I've not found a lot of good quality ones do. I guess if it's side stitched they don't bother. So look for either or.Hi.

Yay! That looks like a great deal for a Relyon mattress with so many pocket springs. Were you looking for a firm mattress? It's more important that your mattress gives you the right support than puts up with your knees.Hi. I'm a Board Guide on the Gaming, Consumer Rights, Ebay and Praise/Vent boards.
