Been browsing ... but ohhhh its all too confusing..... which one is the best??

a)- Open coil spring interior..?? OR b)- Continuous spring interior..?? OR c)- Individual pocket spring system..?? OR finally d)- Body Contouring Viscose elastic ... which senses body weight and temperature..( do you sweat in this??)

I havent the foggiest what a,b,or c mean and not too sure about d either..:confused: plz help... thanks in advance.

    Have a look at this site:

    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!!!
  • 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?

    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?
