    Sorry if I misunderstood.

    I don't know where they have got the water latex name from, it sounds like just a sales gimmick. I would never pay that amount of money for and Relaxan product (or Ceriflex for that matter). They are usually just low quality Italian imports.
  • Well ive read this whole thread and its taken me about 2 weeks,work and all that.

    I think ive made a decision and am going to go for the la romantica madrid because of all the spec and its got the more firmer matress.Shame i didnt like 2 of the others because they have free delivery at the mo :(

    I'd say go for a good quality firm open coil sprung mattress around 9 or 10" deep.

    Hi everyone,Old Timer here .I am interested in a WATERLATTEX mattress which i have tried in our local bed shop.This mattress is a little different from the memory foam type as it has a summer and winter side so can be turned.The salesman there is really confident this is the one to have regarding comfort and reliability.I asked a while ago on here if anyone on here had any advice regarding this product but had no response.Just thought i would try again before i spend my money.Thankyou .The Old Timer.
    Hi Old Timer
    Maybe I can shed a little light of this situation for you.
    I used to be part of a very highly recognised UK Brand (company) responsible for importing Mattresses into the UK. Some of our top selling Mattresses was the Water Latex type. In a nutshell a water latex mattress is simply a synthetic version (man made material) of real Latex. The touch and feel, even the response is almost identical to that of a natural latex sleeping product. The chemicals used to make this synthetic foam latex material are in fact all water based.
    Hence the name ‘Water Latex’
    The synthetic version will most definitely outlive real latex and the guarantee offered with such a mattress should be fairly long (5-10 years). Hope this helps. PS, if you don’t fancy a Memory Foam Mattress then this is definitely a good second option for you to investigate and try out.

    PS. Do not listen to much to other peoples opinions about these Mattresses from Magniflex been of low quality. I have personally visited there factory many times – they are technologically far more advanced than many UK factories I have visited – and they are an established and recognised global brand. Hey! And they’re Italian! And what are the Italians famous for? Superb Quality!

  • Hi,

    I have been raeding a lot of the threads posted on here, and not many people mention Slumberland, i have been looking at mattresses and found the slumberland Support Memory 800, very comfortable, what is the general thoughts on slumberland, would i be better looking at different makes?

    Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks
  • I live in London and can't find any local independent suppliers to speak of so ended up bed bouncing in John Lewis.
    The mattress I liked was the http://www.johnlewis.com/230483187/Product.aspx
    It only has memory foam on one side and a spring count of 2500 (it has a spring within a spring whatever that is). JL seem to go for very high spring counts, is that a good thing.
    However it's also way too expensive at £895.
    Can anyone suggest an alternative that might feel the same, I'd be grateful for any help.
