    nnnnnnnnnooooooooooooooooooo :) i want one lol

    i have a orthapedic or however spelt mattress at the moment and i havent had so much backache, i have shoved a memory foam topper on it and i am not having no backache for the last wk i have bought it.

    So you don't have a soft mattress at the moment then?

    I presume that when you say you have an orthopaedic mattress you mean that you have a firm open coil sprung one?

    Orthopaedic actually means that it is good for back support. This can be firm open coil sprung, any pocket sprung, or any good quality memory foam mattress.

    It sounds like you just need a mattress that gives you good support, and will contour to your body. As I said before decent memory foam mattresses aren't soft. If you want a soft mattress then pocket sprung only will still contour to your body.

    Just out of interest, what is your old mattress, and how old is it?

    Tim. You seem to be an expert so may I ask.....................

    I recently bought a Beautysleep memory foam (Visco - advanced polymer) mattress. It is 9cm of memory foam on top of a spring base. It is non turn.

    I've been using it for a few weeks now, and i've found it comfortable, but sometimes wake up with backache. Is this normal and simply part of the getting used to it process, or would it appear I've bought a dud.

    Thanks if you can help.

    I'm having trouble finding it on the net. Do you have a link for it?

    I'm afraid not. The manufacturer is only a little West Yorkshire based firm. I bought it from Bed Warehouse in Scarborough and that's the only place I've found it!

    Is Beautysleep the make or the model?

    There are actually about 50 bed manufacturers in the Yorkshire/Lancashire area.
  • Thanks for replying.

    Beautysleep is the manufacturers brandname.

    I haven't found that actual model on line, so it is difficult to comment on, except for the fact that 9cm of memory foam is too deep.

    Try contacting them at:

    Beauty Sleep

    53, Halifax Rd, Liversedge, West Yorkshire WF15 6LF
    Tel: 01924 409966

    and ask them for the spec for the mattress, especially the density of the memory foam.

    Hi we are in the process of getting a new bed after over 12 years of loyal service from a Silentnight double drawer divan. It really was knackered with springs coming through.

    We did what everyone suggests and went down to the bed shops like Dreams and was shocked at the prices. Our old Silentnight cost over £500 all that time ago.

    We kinda like the look of the Leather beds. Got a message from Makro they are currently doing a Double Faux leather bedstead in Brown or Black for £100 + Vat. Superking is £150+ Vat so I guess a King is between those 2 prices. They sell a Silentnight mattress Mirocoil for £110+ Vat King size. They also sell Memory foams for between £150 - £220 depending on size.

    This time we are going for a King size with a Silentnight matress for around £270 all in. Not a bad deal especially when places like Dreams want at least that for a bedstead!!
    Hope this helps.

    My Dad had a Memory Foam pillow that we used when stayed at his. Bloody Hell talk about hard and uncomfortable! God knows how much you must have to weigh for it to "shape to your body"!!
    If the pillows are anything to go for I would avoid a matress. Also are they not more unhygienic because they have no air for any bodily fluids to go to?

    With the money we save on the bed we will be getting some nice Feather pillows and Duvet. Am feeling sleepy already!!
