.....apparently >:(
I was sent to buy a matress last year and wifey told me not to get a rubbish one. I paid just under £200 for a common or garden sprung matress. 'That will be crap' she said, 'too cheap'
Too cheap?! £200!
After about six months, my nightly trips to the bog were accompanied by a very loud 'BOOOIIIINNNNG' which soon turned into three or four boings.
'Told you, crap' she said.
I was sent shopping for a matress this morning and told not to buy a rubbish one. The memory foam and laytex ones started at about £500 and went up to £2400!!!!
I paid £700 (with delivery) for a matress that will be delivered in 3-4 weeks and was still left the shop feeling that I'd bought a 'cheap' one.
I can't cope :'( :'( :'(

What is wrong with people? :o :o
You spend maybe a third of your life in your bed. Spend some money and get a decent bed. Memory foam mattresses are brilliant. Say it lasts 10 years and costs a £1000 that is less than £3 a night.
-
i spent £400 on a memory foam one, its been excellent! Its firm to begin with but after a few mins you sink in nicely. Gives good support for a lanky git like me.

£3 a night is over £10000 for 10 years ;D i guess you mean 30p a night. think it depends on peoples budgets. Wish i just had a £1000 :)
-
:o £700. for a mattress......Yikes! :o
Mrs. STMO will surely be sleeping like a newborn when it arrives.......so, no danger of feeling pressured with undue 'requests', Steve.......it`s called a memory foam mattress because you wont be able to remember the last time you had any 'nocturnal fun'.;D

Several year ago (when I still had a few quid) bought an expensive bed and mattress - Milbrook royal viscount iirc - mattress has 1200 pocket springs iirc. Money very well spent, very comfy, and has been a blessing for my fragile back.
As someone once said "buy a good bed and a good pair of shoes, because if your not in one your probably in the other" :y

Woud always strongly recommend buying the best possible mattress you can afford, our old pocket sprung was too hard and woke up feeling more tired and aching than when we went to bed, poor sleep, tossing and turning and no energy.
New memmory foam and latex mattress and we sleep like babys, are up and about earlier, get more done with far far less aches and pains.
Personally would guard against pure memory only as I find it goes a bit hard once compressed. But each to their own.
Too hard a mattress and your hips and shoulders sit too high and the spine sags in between, new mattress gives a nice straight spine with everything inline, aaaaah, nightnight. :y

About a year ago i paid just short of £200 for a properly sprung king size, the one with the sleeping hippo.....shut it.....Last one lasted 10 years. Trick is to turn & rotate them every couple of months, use a mattress protector & when you change the bedding, hoover the room & mattress.
I sprinkle a little talc on top of the sheet before putting the quilt back as well 'cos i'm a tart!!! :-*

We have a 3 inch memory foam topper and it is great, at the caravan (static) we have a 4 inch memory foam topper on a very firm mattress, absolute heaven..... :y :y :y

after getting a backache all the time and a broken spring come through and gauge my leg when with my x, i went for the dearer option and the most comfortable bed when we broke up and paid 1495 for it. i regulary flip it and turn it so it stays the same shape. still like new after 7 years. :y

I don't know if that's the way you meant it but.. that's a mental image I didn't need :P ;D

Don't have to flip our new foam one, 10 year warranty, dust mite protection. One that caused us grief was pocket spring, deliberately did not turn it as it went from bloody uncomfortable to dam right painful if we did. >:(
-
Not long after buying the expensive pocket sprung mattress, complaints started from the other side of the bed that it was too stiff (stop sniggering at the back) ::)....put a memory foam topper on it and it is now excellent.

Tried that, did help, but it still had to go....
....mattress soon went as well :D

breaked if I was going to buy another mattress. Cheaper to get a fatter/heavier wife. :D ;D ;D
I wasnt much more than 10 stone at the time myself, but I never had a problem with it. ::) :-X
I was thinking today as I was working on the bike, that now I have gained almost a couple of stone the 600 must be a lot slower than when I first had it. I think that could be a justifiable reason to acquire a litre bike. ;) :) ;D
