Darn :mad: am finding it very hard to find a turnable mattress!!! especially living in NI as no-one will ship here. There is an ebay site that will ship me a La Romantica but the delivery is £70, and I don't really want to buy a mattress that I haven't tried. Does anyone know which other brands sell turnable mattress with foam both sides? Can't find anyone selling Kozeesleep either.

Kozeesleep don't sell two sided pocket sprung/memory foam mattresses either I'm afraid.

Depending on how much they charge for the mattress then £70 delivery isn't bad to NI. Check their terms and conditions carefully though because it could prove expensive if you have to return it for any reason.

Your best bet might be a pocket sprung only mattress I'm afraid.

Water beds are where its at. If you have never personally experienced a water bed and its effects during intimate times, I vehemently urge you to do so as soon as humanly and ethically possible.

Hi can anyone advise me what would be the best mattress for me please. I have had a stroke plus i now suffer from sciatica(bad) the one i have is about 7 years old and i am finding it VERY hard to get out of my bed in morning with the backache. what kind would be the best? so much to take in find it hard getting to a shop. Any advice would be very grateful thanks.

My old mattress gave me backache and im a fit 32year old!

For sciatica, you ideally need a firm and supportive mattress. I would recommend at least a pocket sprung and maybe memory foam if you can. Around 1200 springs would suffice and no softer than medium-firm.

What size do you require and what is your budget sir?

Both no good im afraid as neither require turning

Not entirely true. When a mattress is described as 'no need to turn' it means that you can - but you don't have to; whereas a non-turn mattress is not suitable for turning as it has only one side suitable for sleeping on.

Hypnos recommends that their ' no need to turn' mattresses are turned but, as some have said on this thread, they find a mattress to difficult to turn for various reasons. Therefore it isn't essential to turn these mattresses but it's better if you do.

Hypnos has a good website and I have found them very helpful in providing information.

Hi mate I'm not far in front of you I'm 37 WAS fit not as much now mind you ;¬) i need a double i toss and turn a lot. Budget well thats the problem really. because of the stroke i cant work anymore so moneys tight. I couldn't go for a £500 one put it that way. I was looking at Argos and a few other places but after reading a few posts PHEWWW thank god i didn't. '£459 now £149' if you no what i mean. I could get money for a decent one but it may take time to save it when i really need it asap. Xmas time to teenage daughter o the joys of parenthood. If you could maybe point out a few i would be very grateful thanks.

Most 'non-turn' mattresses, I think you will find, are made that way to save costs and materials and dont actually have much padding etc on the underside. So if you did actually turn it, it would not be as comfortable a nights sleep!

You should still be able to find a decent double for a reasonable price, I will see what I can find...
