    You are looking ar around the right price brackets to buy on line. However if you are worried about the heat then some are available with climate control fabrics like Climasmart or Outlast (not coolmax) for a bit more.

    Hi

    Whats the difference between Climasmart/Outlast and Coolmax?

    Do they all work in stopping you get to hot and does a matress protector nulify there effectiveness?

    Sorry for all the questions but my current mattress has lasted 9 years so havent done this for a while!

    hi
    anyone know of any bargain childrens beds around

    cabin bed ,normal single

    i see argos are doing the racing car bed with various mattresses on offer

    has anyone got one of these? do they take up a load of room?
    are argos sprung mattresses rubbish?

    thankyou

    Our friend bought one of these for her son and he was bored of it in about 6 months so she had to fork out for a new bed.

    We looked at novelty and then went for Cabin style instead so he has a desk to put his toys on and a den underneath (he's only 4 1/2) just got the bed off e-bay (in near perfect nick) for £49 and will just buy a new mattress -Prob from an online retailer.

    Coolmax just takes the moisture away from your body. Climasmart and Outlast ar far more advanced and actually control the temperature. Outlast is called Thermocool in other countries, and is used by many formula one teams in their drivers and mechanics clothes. It is also used by Pringle in some of their top of the range golf clothing, and it is also used in some top of the range ski clothing.

    Outlast is similar to Climasmart.

    TIM SAID -I know who you are ;)


    As impartial advice is not the name of the game here I'm afraid I shall consult elsewhere.
    It's a great pity...

    If we listen to salespeople in shops, then make our own decisions whats the problem here? I would prefer to listen to 2 quality salespeople giving advice than the 3 i ran into in Dreams plc!!!
  • Ikea offer good prices on matress' and they have 25 year guarantee. Never guess where I got mine from!

    hi Tim, I had a look at quite a few mattresses now but with my budget being tight and my expectations high ;) didnt find many to my liking.

    http:// mattressesworld.co.uk/p/Memory_Pocket_1000_Mattress.htm

    you have informed me of the cons of the memory pocket one but I think I will end up in buying one of these, so please help me choose the best out of the two.

    The second link doesn't work, but that is beside the point, as I would never recommend a reflex foam encapsulated pocket sprung mattress. You would be better off buying a good quality open coil sprung/memory foam mattress.

    Hi Tim

    Just followed the first link in the last post - where does it mention reflex?

    Experience the best support with the MemoryPedic Memory Pocket Classic Mattress – a combination of memory foam and pocket springs. The memory foam moulds to your body shape and cushions your body while the individual pocket springs contour to your body but react to individual pressure for improved support.

    Hi Tim,

    I've looked through a number of your responses throughout this thread and wondered if it would be possible to give me your thoughts on the following mattresses?

    As I'm a new user on this forum, I'm not allowed to post links so have had to remove the www. element of the links below.

    I'll probably end up buying one of the above so your view would be much appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    You can see just from the shape of the mattress that they are reflex foam encapsulated pocket springs.
