Which mattress? (merged threads)

bevoP

Hi, am new, have just read your thread and had to reply as we are having exactly the same with our sensaform bed. Am also in contact with Trading Standards and the Financial Ombudsman, who are putting us in touch with Black Horse Finance who can help with your claim if you bought it on credit. a lot of negative reports re sleepmasters on this site. Good luck to you .

In fact the room was pretty cold, but the duvet was the same as I'm used to. I don't think the feeling of heat was my major concern, but kind of contributed to the other factors. After lying on a few beds I think I need a softer-feeling mattress that doesn't give very much. This is the opposite of this one, which gives a lot but feels hard.

I am torn over finding a mattress with a pillow top which is possibly a gimmick but feels very confortable. It also makes it non-turn, and I know the opinions about that on this forum.

Does anyone have first-hand experience of Harrison mattresses?

Hey Matt, was it the Venice you got? I ordered one and am getting it this Thursday. I am scared I have to admit, with all the negative posts on here.
Hope I haven't made a mistake. Will let you all know...

Hi all,

Well I have my La Romantica, Venice, 2 sided, pocket sprung, memory foam mattress a week now. Have slept on it 4 or 5 nights. Just on floor. Haven't sorted a base yet. It is very comfortable. Softer than I expected but I am happy about that. Time will tell if it lasts but for now I would recommend it.

Happy shopping!

Thanks for the advice Tim. Glad I followed it.

Oh, and just for those doubters out there I didn't buy it from Tim.

Hi Zharko,my wife and i purchased twin Harrison beds over 9 years ago.They have been very comfortable up till around 6 months ago when i began to get a little back pain after say 7 hours in the sack.I am the heavier of the two.If i slept on the other bed my pain vanished ,so i feel now is the time to dig deep again!We have been looking around this thread for a while now for a replacement but have been put of by some of the negetive feedback on the cheaper non-descript beds Although the Harrison range is far from the cheapest we both felt that the comfort we had from them made them good value in the long run.I would definitely recommend them. Hope this helps.

Hi Tim
I finally purchased an Apollo Calypso this week. Although it is comfortable there is 'snag' near the edge on the top - see image: http://img3.imageshack.us/my.php?image=various034za4.jpg

I have contacted the seller about it but I am not sure how serious it is- do you think I need to get i replaced as it is likely to worsen? or do you think if I am offered some money back I should take that?

thanks in advance

After weeks of reading and looking I would be grateful if someone may have any views on the following mattresses. (Ideally I would like the La ROMANTICA, Venice but this is out of my price range.)
1) Sleepeezee Sonata from local bedshop kingsize 2000 springs 70MM memory foam no turn £350
2) http://www.bedstar.co.uk/shop/customer/product.php?productid=28089&cat=&page=2

This whole mattress thing is now driving me mad.:mad:
Thank-you in advance for any advice.

Personally I'd get it replaced in case the snag runs.

Hi.

1. Has too many springs (try to stay between 1000 and 1800). 70mm of memory foam is a little too deep, but should be ok if you like being warm in bed. What is the density of the memory foam?

2. Doesn't say anything about the number of springs. Also doesn't say anything about the depth or density of the memory foam. This mattress is the cheaper reflex foam encapsulated pocket spring type that often use much smaller pocket springs.

3. Don't even go there.

Try an independent manufacturer as you tend to get far more for your money.

How can you tell #2 uses encapsulated pocket springs? Can you tell from the page or is it just that it's the only type Sleepeezee do? I'm just wondering if there are any tell tale signs when looking online.

You'll probably say Google now, won't you?

There are a few signs to look for. Some are an indication on their own, others are where there is more than one sign:

1. Very low price for pocket sprung/memory foam.
2. A flat top on the mattress rather than hand tufted.
3. If the mattress comes vacuum packed.
4. If there is no mention of the number of springs.
5. Very few details in the spec.
6. Prod the side of the mattress, if it is foam on the side then the springs are reflex foam encapsulated.

You probably wouldn have found any of that if you had googled it.
