Pocket sprung, memory foam, latex or hybrid. What are the thoughts of the chit chattering classes?

guy at big carboot - massive fayre each week was selling new beds from £100 to 200 a few years ago. All new. Go into a shop and you need £300 at least? This was Glasgow fruit market. he even delivered for £10?

But was put off by news article about bogus gear.

Budget preferably under £1000.Although I'd stretch a bit for the right one. I like my kip.

Same as many things you only buy occasionally.  No-one knows what the feck they are buying so go on price or brand names they know.

Luckily, you can try a bed (for a certain period, at least), so here's a suggestion.  Go to Ikea or a bed store and try some out.

Fat people prefer firmer beds.

I wouldn't get memory foam, they are very comfortable indeed, but one big drawback you can get far too hot and uncomfortable sleeping on a memory foam mattress. Or one solution is to have light covers so some air can circulate, but you can overheat between a memory foam mattress and a duvet which isn't fairly lightweight. You might adjust to it but I don't like waking up a bit sweaty. And if you do get one don't get a cheap one, and you might overcome the problem, but difference between comfy and warm and getting too hot.

Hope this helps. Cool

If you buy a Leesa you can send it back within 100 days if you're not happy. Best bed we have ever bought.

I'm definitely not going down the memory foam /latex route. I'm currently favouring pocket sprung that can be turned with two different covering types, one for winter and a lighter more breathable summer side.

I have not found memory foam too warm..The problem if you get too hot is the duvet, hollow fibre is like sleeping in a plastic bage

We had a very expensive pocket sprung mattress, it was wonderful but eventually it needed changing.

We replaced it with a Silent Night non pocket sorung mattress, it seemed great in the shop but from the first night we realised it had been a mistake. Probably because in the shop it was on a divan base. Whereas we had it on a wooden skatted base.

We toughed it out while we thought about what to do next. We didn't mind spending a lot of money so I did lots of research on memory foam and all other types mattress.

We were very wary of spending a lot of money and making another mistake. Our Silent Night mattress really wasn't suiting us, so to tide us over until we decide what to buy, we bought a cheap memory foam mattress from Argos, it was about £200, I think.

Anyway, that was three years ago and we still have it. It's the comfiest mattress we have ever had. I found out later that it beat the Tempur mattress in Which magazine.

Memory foam can have it's drawbacks, but we love ours. I'll post a link to it if they still sell it.

Just seen that you definitely aren't going for a memory foam. Never mind. I did come across a lovely Rest Assured mattress during my research.I'll post that instead

Dinner is nearly ready, will post it later Happy

Mine's the Silentnight Mirapocket Range , these are Pocket sprung/Memory foam , I went for the 'Moscow' as it is Firm (no I'm not fat) but like a firmer mattress , just memory foam is no good as you basically just sink into them

Definitely shop around ebay as you'll get a great deal , mine was virtually half price £285 from £565 or more in shops , though I did have to wait weeks for it to be delivered!

This is the Sherbourne mattress sold on Amazon as the Northam.

Lots of reviews. I don't know what's with the thing about the plastic clips. Very strange.

Anyway, this is what I would try if I needed a new mattress. List of stockists on Rest Assured website so would be essy to try one out locally.

Moonbeam is right about pocket springs with memory foam. They seem to be better than just memory foam.

Our exact mattress is no longer at Argos. It was just memory foam but we find it so comfy to sleep on, there is no need for us to change it.
