Have a look at this site:
http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Concept-Wohnen
Concept were very reliable and products great - much cheaper than Tempur. NB can get them made to your own size.I'm mad!!!! :rotfl::jand celebrating everyday every year!!!0 -
d) are very comfortable . However, a local hospital bought a stack of them but after quite a short while they are all developing body shaped sags in the middle.
We have a Dunlopillo latex single mattress, which we bought from a YHA hostel that closed down. Thousands of people of all shapes, sizes and weights must have slept on it as it was 20+ years old when we got it. We've had it for 12 years in the spare room and it's seen a fair bit of use and still no delves, dents, sags anywhere. Feels as good as new, and if you check out the price of these mattresses you'll see why. As with everything, you get what you pay for.
Quite honestly, if your Ikea has given you 12 years of good service, which not get the same type again from there?0 -
Although remember if you have an ikea bed and mattress then other size mattresses might not fit the frame that well.
Do you need to get another ikea one?0 -
I just use an extra firm mattress, does my back wonders.Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure - MSE ForumTeam0
