Mattress help please

I have about a week left of my Simba mattress free trial. It's giving me back ache and is already sagging so it has to go, but I don't know what would be better. I've tried Emma, Otty and Simba. Otty was the best but hurt my hips. I'm a female side sleeper so if it's too firm all my weight goes on my hip. Before trying these mattresses I've always had whatever terrible mattress my landlords provided. 

Pure foam is definitely out but otherwise I'm open to anything (as long as it contains no wool/animal products). If it's cheap I'd risk no free trial but clearly I'm a princess when it comes to mattress 😂

Any suggestions?

    It's not easy to offer you advice as there are so many options and there are now no longer the number of shops where you can try them.
    Which? do not test every available mattress on the market but of the ones tested they list 28 best buys scoring from 73% to 81%.  Prices vary from £129.00 to £1299.95.
    It would be necessary to read the blurb for each mattress in order to check its composition and then there's no guarantee as to whether any would be suitable for your circumstances.
    Furthermore, there can be more than one model for each make.  For instance, Which? list four different best buy models for the Emma mattress.

    I've got mine from Ikea, was much happier than the Simba ones, I'm also a side sleeper.

    I am not sure how if you can try before you commit to it though, but I've been very satisfied with the quality.

    I've gone for an inofia. It's one on the best rated mattresses on Amazon with thousands of reviews so fingers crossed! It has a 100 day trial but I think at £220 my expectations will be more reasonable and unless it's really awful I'll probably keep it.

    So far, so good. I'm sleeping well and haven't woken up with back pain
