    It is actually almost all of your posts have been wrong, and your stats are based on advice from web sites run by manufacturers and retailers.

    I have done a huge amount of research on a professional basis, where I actually get told the truth by manufacturers rather than being given the sales hype and propoganda that you have quoted.

    You have proved that you actually know very very little on the subject, and are only in this thread because yet again you have been stalking me to try and discredit me.

    I thought it might be a good time to quote this:

    Well said Tim

    That guy has been doing my head in
    We appreciate your advice!

    Yup! Us too :beer:

    I dare say the amount of referrals Tim gets from satisfied customers reflects the good advice he gives and nobody's being forced to buy from his company!

    Yes there is a huge amount of research as I said. And my research has been over a number of years, so it could take days to find it all. If you don't accept what I say, then just ignore me, I don't make people agree with me, but what I do hate is when people just argue with me just to try and discredit me, because they have been reading a few fake reviews.

    Yep I definately appreciate your advice, I was just interested to read any independent reasearch online agreeing with you that you might know about! :beer:

    Well I will post it as I come across it from now on, but I don't have time to go looking for it. To be honest most of it is actually common sense.:beer:

    We needed a double divan for a spare room, that was probably going to get 2 or 3 nights use a week. I'd tried a local department store and was recommended a pocket sprung bed which was much more than I could afford. I had a good read through the thread (OK some not all) contacted Bedlum told them what I wanted and was recommended a open coil Roslin which was within my budget. I was a bit nervous to be recommended a cheaper option and buying sight unseen, but three guests have given the bed the thumbs up so far. The phone advice and delivery arrangements were great. We've only had the bed a couple of weeks so I can't comment on how long it will last, but here's hoping.

    Tim thanks again for your reply. So you reckon 65kg density of memory foam at 2.5 inch is a good choice? The mattress I'm looking at is called The Siesta Memory Foam mattress. Would you be kind enough to do a quick check on it?

    Also has anyone bought from either Mattressonline co uk or www bedworld net?

    Tim in your opinion 65kg density is optimum and dz1 you say 80/85kg density is better. Am I right in saying that the higher the density the slower the recovery rate? and if I'm right, then is a slower recovery memory foam mattress better?

    Newbies such as myself take the help you provide quite seriously and I'm trying to do some research myself on what you recommend rather than just jump and buy, but there just doesnt seem to be any independent review/advice on memory foam etc. If there is then please provide links to help us out.

    dz1 i agree with your way of thinking but also appreciate Tims help and accept that by helping me choose, say for example a 65kg density mem foam, Tim doesnt benefit in anyway. You both seem to know what you are talking about but please guys lets be more civil. I agree with the poster before me, if you guys provide independent test results/proof to back up your claims then this will help us all.

    I sincerely hope none of this was caused as a result of me asking for help. I am loving this site and you guys reply and help out so quick, please keep up the good work.

    PS: I am loving the Yanis mem foam mattress, my god I feel like a human being again. My friend is so jealous because he only has reflex foam and not mem foam :p

    Best regards

    Joshua

    Glad you like the Yanis memory foam mattress.

    If you are liking it so much then, why not get another one instead of going for the untested Siesta mattress?

    You are correct in what you say about recovery rate. The higher the density, the slower the recovery rate. This link says having a slower recovery rate means the mattress is more supportive.

    It's not the slower recovery rate that makes it more supportive, it's the higher density, which we have alresdy covered several times. However to be able to move about in bed the density has to be a compromise.

    By the way that link is NOT independent.

    Yes a divan base is ideal for a pocket sprung mattress.
