Mattress advice


Recommended Posts

Ever since having a baby (2yrs ago) my mattress doesn't seem to be comfortable. I assume it's because my body has changed. I am a side sleeper. If I sleep on our much softer sofa it is far more comfy than my bed. Our mattress is from ikea, albeit the most expensive one they do. I would definitely invest in a new mattress if I thought it would improve my sleep but all the best mattress brands out there don't seem to have show rooms. Has anyone had this experience? Can anyone recommend a good mattress? I find memory foam uncomfortable (sweaty). We have a super king bed which means any mattress investment is very expensive and I don't want to spend thousands to end up witht the same result. I've tried about ten different Pillows and long support pillows. No good.


Thanks guys.

W have a pocket sprung mattress from Warren Evans too. It cost more than the bed frame itself! But, we sleep brilliantly on it and have done ever since we bought it 7 or so years ago. Definitely worth testing them to see which sort works for you.


We also bought a mattress from John Lewis a couple of years ago for our eldest's single bed and again we tested them in the shop.


Pillows are another matter altogether...I change mine regularly but still really struggle to find one soft enough that doesn't just completely collapse after a few weeks. Doesn't help that I like the king size ones which many places don't sell.

We bought a mattress about 6 months ago from the John Ryan Outlet store (http://www.johnryanoutlet.co.uk/) to replace our old Ikea one and it's one of the best purchases we've made. The outlet site sells off returned or slightly damaged mattresses for up to 50% off - we went for a Grade F mattress which is their most 'damaged' but besides a few scuffs/ marks it is perfect. It's only now that we have a decent mattress that we realise how badly we actually slept before.

WE bought a wonderful warren evans memory foam mattress a few years ago. It is like sleeping on a cloud and not at all sweaty. it was quite expensive though - but I think all good mattresses are. They delivered and at the same time took away our old mattress, which was a great service.

I had lower back pain since being pregnant that was much worse in the mornings and I was convinced our medium firm pocket sprung mattress made it worse. I also sleep on my side. And if I ever slept on a really firm mattress on holiday I would wake up in agony. I did loads of research and ended up buying this mattress: http://www.backinaction.co.uk/back-in-action-mattress It's memory foam and not only does my back no longer hurt but I now sleep through the night, every night, which I never ever used to before. It's brilliant. It's not sweaty but my husband did find it too hot so we got a superking frame and an Ikea mattress for his side. We dithered about it for ages because it's so expensive and our old bed wasn't very old but it was totally worth it. They have a show room in Marylebone where you can test it. (The second time I went to test it I nearly fell asleep because it was such a relief to be comfortable.)

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
