DamanC Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I have been tasked by the wife to "sort out a bl**dy mattress!" Trouble is, I have no idea what to look out for when it comes to this sort of thing! I know its a double sized bed and that's it! Any pointers or advice? Any trusted places online to shop or should I just pop down to the loal bed shop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl_S Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I have been looking into matteresses, if you want, go for a high end memory matteress which will set you back about 700 quid. Otherwise go for a standard one which should be about a ton and a half. There may be a which?! guide to matteresses. I hope that you have many happy years on your new one, but ask her if she needs the feel of springs under her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl_S Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Yeah mate. It's not something that people buy everyday, so some want to invest in the best. It's got loads of tech in it, anti-dust mites, and you will never ever have to turn it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigcol Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 go to your local TK Maxx (chavland) I know its got a reputation but they are doing Silentnight memory foam mattresses for £199 or less and they are the next best thing to a £4000 tempur mattress, ive got one and its fantastic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseys Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 £700 for a memory foam mattress? *boggles* A friend had one delivered for £350! For a King Size bed. Shop around and find one but lay on one first. I and the missus like it and we're going to get one shortly. Another friend absolutely hated the sinking/settling feeling of them.

I am waiting on one getting delivered today/tomorrow. As Sarahs Dad bought one a few months ago and said they are brilliant. This is the one I bought, £249 from Littlewoods Direct http://www.littlewoodsdirect.com/rf/lxd/p.do/3-layer-memory-foam-medium-firm-mattress-with-pocket-springs?Ntx=mode+matchallpartial&SNtt=refresh+mattress&groupId=446372597&Nu=this_product&SNtk=littlewoods_search&Np=1&SN=101+85&Ntt=446372597&D=446372597&Ntk=group_search&Dx=mode%2bmatchall&thisprod=446372597&N=101+85&Nty=1&Mis_item_id=15&Mis_item_loc_id=1&product=446372597 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I spent £1100 on my matress which I must say is extremely comfortable. It's strange that people should want to buy a cheap matress when you consider that you spend on average 8 hours a night on it. Thats a considerable part of your life. Its sleep that helps keep you feeling refreshed and healthy. A better matress means better sleep and more energy during the daytime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 We have a memory foam as well and they are excellent. Great if you suffer with a bad back too. The only draw back is they store heat so in the summer can be a bit hot to sleep in, if you don't like being toasty when sleeping. Even now with minus night temps, we are using our summer duvet and in the summer just a sheet or nothing at all. I would advise to be careful of buying to cheap as they tend not to disapate the heat as well. You won't regret getting one, but don't be a tight arse;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomgeer Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I have a memory foam matress and highly recommend it, cost £400 but well worth it, it's really helped my back problems, buying a matress is like buying cheap bread... just not worth it, spend a bit bit more, you really won't regret it.

Lbm Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 700 Nuggets? For a mattress? I'm sure you could buy a crappy one for a lot less. I bought 2 @ £200 each, at the same time, and quite honestly they didn't really last that long before I was getting prodded in the back (and not by a homosexual) Methinks you'll get something decent(ish) for under £700, but I guess google is your...etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 We recently bought a pocket sprung mattress with memory foam on the top......

den1 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 About 2 years ago I bought one of these mattresses from these people off eBay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/10-DOUBLE-AIRFLOW-OUTLAST-MEMORY-MATTRESS-RRP-1299_W0QQitemZ190280663737QQihZ009QQcategoryZ20479QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1742.m153.l1262 It is a brilliant mattress and has the Outlast material that regulates your body temperature. When I was buying it I found out that they get the mattresses from a company that supplies mattresses for hospitals costing over £1000. They are different from sprung mattresses but go to a bed shop/department store and try out a Tempur mattress and see what you think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAT Inter Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I just bought i really really good quality memory foam number. T company is based in Glasgow but can deliver for peanuts. It cost me 400 for a King Size mattress and memory foam pillows. PM me if you want details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any trusted places online to shop or should I just pop down to the loal bed shop? Damn you sir! Since reading this thread a few hours ago- I've just bought a bleedin' mattress As Havard said the pocket spring & memory foam combo seems to be a very good combination. Mine is Kingsize (strange really as I'm not much taller than a dwarf) and here's the link: http://www.bedlum-beds.co.uk/product/LA-ROMANTICA-Madrid-Memory-Foam-and-Pocket-Sprung-King-Size-Mattress.-439.00/ I really fancied a new digital camera Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
