If you are looking for good back support - typically firm/medium firm mattresses are better for the back - you need mattresses that will take the shape of your body and will give support to your spine. Most latex or memory foam mattresses are good for the back as they take the contour of your body. Soft and bouncy mattresses can aggravate your back pain.
If you are looking for an all natural product or have sensitive skin and allergies - then you can go for a fully latex mattress OR a coir + Latex combination where the supporting and transition layers are coir and comfort layer is latex. Remember that these provide the best back support, heat resistance, are not too bouncy - and are also the most expensive.
If you are looking for heat resistance - if you stay in a hot area or you have a tendency to get hot fast - then you need a latex comfort layer or a fully latex mattress. A fully latex mattress will be most expensive and a latex comfort layer will use coir or foam as support or transition layers - will be less expensive giving you most of the benefits of an all latex mattress. Coir will be a better option as it has natural air circulation abilities too. So again in this case - an all Latex mattress will be most expensive and a combination of Latex and coir/foam will be lesser expensive.
If you are looking for a soft mattress with a bit of a bounce - similar to the type of mattresses that you experience in high end hotels, then you will prefer a pocket spring mattress. These mattresses are also known to have zero motion transfer when two people are sleeping and either person has a tendency to roll often. Personally - I don’t prefer soft mattresses - this is one of my biggest pet peeve when I visit hotels - I just can't get a good night's sleep in hotels.
Once you have determined the material that would work for you - the next thing to consider is the thickness you need:
The higher the weight of the sleepers, the thicker mattress you will require.
If even one of you weighs over 80kgs, you should consider a mattress with atleast 8 inches thickness.
If both of you weigh less between 60-80kgs, then a 6 inches mattress is sufficient.
If both of you weigh less than 60kgs, then a 5 inches mattress is sufficient.
The same weight brackets hold for single mattresses as well.
When to change your mattress
If you live in a humid area - you will find the mattresses covered with mould / fungus. Yes there are ways to get rid of this if the infestation is light. But if heavy, you may need to replace your mattress. You can also use a mattress protector to protect your mattress from this.
With age, the mattress starts to sink or sag in the corners of the mattress OR sometimes even at the center - based on your sleeping positions. When you see it sag - it is time to change.
Frequent back / neck / shoulder ache are an indicator you may need to consider changing your mattress - ofcourse check with your doctor first.
In general - mattresses should be changed atleast once in 10-12 years, if not more frequently if you see the above issues.
