I seem to be the only person who has a waterbed! I'd recommend this over any type of mattress. I've tried pocket sprung, latex [comfiest after w/bed], bog standard and deluxe, double, king and queen sized. I've had a bad back after a serious accident and hospital problems so am very keen on what suits me - and a waterbed is it. The advantages are that it is the comfiest thing I've ever slept on, you just rest there, supported by the sheets! My back is getting stronger as it isnt stressed overnight and I'm sleeping through the night again. I had a w/bed many years ago and 6 months ago returned to one.

If you can, OP, try one out - preferably go and spend a night on one [some chain hotels/motels have them apparently] - but don't dismiss them. They're not expensive in the long run, and the base can be obtained much cheaper than you'd think.

best of luck with an important purchase

So how much can you get an average water bed for?

Please, please, please read all the forums on MSE regarding silentnight, mattresses, and memory foam, before you even consider purchasing.

I'n sorry but I just searched the forum and found just one or two posts from people who have had trouble with Silent Night mattresses (which is not a huge number given the amount of mattresses they must sell).

You seem to have an issue with SilentNight? May I ask why?

**Note: recently purchased a SilentNight memoire memory foam/ springs mattress and it is possibly the best mattress I've ever slept on. However, my previous mattress was terribly uncomfy so maybe I'm just still in the mattress honeymoon period**

There are actually loads of people on here who have had problems with them. I also take a lot notice of what I am told by my customers. It appears that the problem isn't with initial comfort, but is with reliability and poor build quality. I have been told literally by 100's of people that the springs in their mattress has lasted between one and two years. A few have even told me that the springs were broken when they were delivered, and then the replacement didn't last long either.

If I sold them I would be rushed off my feet with sales due to the power of advertising. However I wouldn't sell them for two main reasons: 1) I refuse to sell poor quality goods. 2) It would cost me a fortune each time I had to replace a defective mattress.

It really makes me angry to see so many people conned into buying poor quality goods because large companies have huge advertising budgets.:mad:

Actually I bought it because it was the one I liked best when I lay on them all.

Fingers crossed, I don't have any problems you mentioned...does use of the word conditional in the 5 year "conditional" guarantee absolve Silentnight of all responsibility in the event of problems (in your experience)?

Which model did you go for??

Both sites seem quite expensive, did you get a discount?

In my experience extended guarantees are usually an insurance policy which depreciate the longer you have the mattress until when you have had the mattress 4 years 11 months when you would have to pay most of the money towards the replacement.

You should also read the conditions carefully, because it will no doubt be full of get out clauses for them.
