Buying a mattress

[Mrs Magpie]

They'll do what you want, size, shape, firmness etc etc...they're just on Coldharbour Lane at the KCH end

What did everyone get in the end?

We went to Debenhams and played them off against Benson's Beds and got a really good deal on a silentnight latex/ miracoil combo.

Has anyone bought one from Argos? They have a silentnight promotion on at the moment, but I really wanted to be able to try before I parted with the cash. I would have had to buy 2 mattresses and then return the one I didnt want.

Ooh.. good point (gets out credit card)

Smoking jacket?! I think only Noel Coward could ever pull off sex in a smoking jacket

Let me just say that waterbeds are very very nice.

The man made bold claims - you sleep more solidly, you don't wriggle to get comfortable, you wake up more refreshed, you don't get too hot or cold - and I can confirm all his bold claims.

Takes a couple of days for the mattress to settle once it has been set up, and you need to make a few adjustments of pillow height, adding/removing water (we haven't done that yet).
