not of interest to everyone I understand, but if anyone is thinking that they are not sleeping correctly at night due to theirs then I suggest they change. I had an old mattress which was I bought as a stop between buying a new bed. New bed came but didnt like any of the mattresses, so decided to wait a while.
Anyway 4 years later I was still sleeping on the temporary one and it was doing my back no good. So a couple of weeks ago I went out hunting for a new one.... finally found a decent new pocket sprung one. Got delivered on Tuesday and have had the best nights sleep ever!!
make the change!! never felt so fresh during the day (egyptian cotton sheets do help) :cool:

EDIT:
I underestimated the great interest in mattresses.
:laugh:

indeed... my new levels of freshness provide me with much more drive. I refer you to opening line.... "not of interest to everyone I understand" :rolleyes:

I love our 12" memory foam mattress, it's cured my back problems, the only problem is it's f#cking heavy :shocked:
-
this is summat me and the wife was talking about last night guess what im doing the weekend :grin: between the old mattress and the coils all the way down on the car it feels like my spine as snapped :laugh:
-
Purchased a new one in January.
Gone from waking up with spring marks in me side and being woken up by rogue springs going off like mortars, to sleeping the whole night through.

ar you still in France or are you back?
If you;re back can I relocate office for the rest of the working day to your front room?

I tried few to start with and initially thought I wanted a memory foam or even a topper. After consulting with some very helpful sales staff they showed me how much heat memory foam retains.
I sleep with the window open nearly all the time even in winter. So decided that memory foam wasnt for me. Ended up with a pocket sprung Hypnos bed (they make mattresses for thee queeen dont you know). :grin:
Amazed at the difference its made, sleep like a baby until my alarm clock goes off now. Would also like to say that the type sheets/covers also make a huge difference to the level of comfort. Worth investing in some more as a starting point.

Sadly still in France and won't be back home till about midnight.

Ok see you then.

What people do not understand about sleeping is that half of your life is on your back except pro's! (more)
So with all that REM sleep and rebuilding as I call it, spending a small fortune on a decent matress FOR HALF OF YOUR LIFE is quite important :rolleyes:
-
aye. And good office chairs.
been in the new job for 2 weeks now and suffering upper back ache by my shoulders from this, very nice looking, but sh1te directors chair.
The old place had orrible looking plastic things, but my god they were comfy.

We've had our memory foam for about 4 years now, and desperately need a new matress! We bought it just before I went on a 6 month deployment, came back and it had sculpted itself to my missus lying in the middle, so no matter what we do (spin it round and stuff) we always tilt in! :rolleyes: Its absolutely true! It does retain heat far more than sprung matresses, I've just realised it now actually and never really though about it. :sad: IMO their lifespan is less than a sprung matress, its no longer very supportive, and no longer gives us the good nights sleep that we once had. :cry:

Yes.. similar to what the lady told me. She also said with the cost of memory foam many get more money for selling them. Nice of her to be honest with me. The new pocket sprung has a 10yr guarantee.

although at the time it had 33% off... plus we had a sh!t load of S&M vouchers because someone might have accidently signed us up for sky HD to watch F1 on :lipsrsealed:
so its kinda a mix between memory foam and pocket sprung... it also has 'coolmax' whatever that is and doesn't get too hot... although I get very hot at night anyway... I sleep next to the open window and the mrs (who would be cold even when it is baking hot) sleeps away from the window shielded from any cold air by my lump of a body :grin:
the difference we have also found is the quietness... doesn't make a sound when you roll over or sit on the edge of the bed to get up and go and take a slash.. i was always disturbing the mrs when I rolled over... now I don't get any ear ache when I move as the mattress isn't creaking...
.. plus the mattress doesn't make a sound anymore when its a high day or a holiday so small people in adjacent rooms are not disturbed :wink:

Our memory foam mattress is about 5 years old now, possibly older, and hasn't sculpted either of us in it. It goes back to normal shape within seconds, just retains the heat in that spot which makes it 'sculpt' to your body more quickly than when cold :undecided: Ours has a 10 year guarantee, so fairly confident in it for a while longer :smiley: and it didn't cost that much, other mattresses of the same spec & size were double the price so we got a brilliant deal with it imo
^^ Going point about the noise too, I forgot how noisy normal mattresses were :laugh:
-
That looks like a good one Guy. The habitat ones are also very good from the ones I got to try despite not having anywhere near as many springs.
The combination ones are supposed to offer the best of both if you dont mind the heat aspect.
I went for this in the end

didnt pay anywhere near that price though... my local Pratts were surprisingly much much cheaper and got rid of my old one also. :cool:
-
worth getting a better one... you will notice the difference after day 1. Its not so much that I couldnt sleep on my old one, the new one just offers so much more support I virtually bounce out of bed feeling totally refreshed.

you lot are starting to sound really camp! :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:
