memory foam mattress

The reason for the coupon is they are moving premises so want to get existing stock down before the move. The mattresses are not overpriced, given the foam density, I have used them for a few years and have no complaints.
I'm sorry but that's just a sales gimmick, why email out a voucher to all previous customers.
If they really really wanted to get rid of stock at a cut price then all they had to do was adjust their prices on their website, so therefore everyone could benefit from the lower prices, not just older customers.
It's a classic sales gimmick. I know I have worked for enough companies that use them.
The only time you should get a real bargain like that, is when a shop is clearing a display model off and it's dirty and worn some what. Anyone else that can offer 40% off on stock items is massively over priced to start with.Helping the country to sleep better....ZZZzzzzzzz0 -
I got a super king size fully head and foot electric bed from Dreams. The mattresses (two separate ones as each bed lifts on its own) is a 10mm memory foam over sprung pockets, again 1500 pockets.
Not only is it in my opinion a fantastic bed, there is so much room I do not disturb my other half (she is two feet away sometimes) so she gets a good nights sleep free from my tossing and turning.
I nailed the salesman to the floor with cash in the pocket and got it for £1500 including the five year mattress swap deal, plus VAT exempt.
The above is my personal experience, there are plenty of other companies. I got a great bed that has help a sufferer from chronic back problems and a suffering wife!0 -

20 percent is currently advertised on their site. I am going from my experience with this company over a number of years and three mattresses.
They also do a price match too.
Every company does sales gimmicks. However, I am putting my personal experience of them, and cannot fault them.
Personally I will always get my mattresses there because I know what I am getting and paying and I know the foam density is good - a lot of companies omit the foam density which is an important factor.
However, anyone else can get them from wherever, it's no skin off my nose, I was trying to help out as I know the mattresses are fine and worth the money.“How people treat you becomes their karma; how you react becomes yours.”0 -

i previously had a memory foam over pocket springs and it isthe most comfortable bed i ever have slept on.
i recentkly had to scrap it after my dog dug a hole in it and the foam was everywhere. i have another mattress but am saving for another memory foam one or a thick topperas iv not slept the same since it went.
go along to a bed shop and lie on one. i lay on one and bought it there and then.0 -
If you get hot sleeping in bed don't buy a memory foam mattress as they actually make you even hotter. A much better bet is natural latex which does not heat up as you sleep on it - it actually stays at your body temperature so it can't make you hotter.
Or you can buy combination mattresses with memory foam on one side - fine for winter when it's colder, and a normal pocket sprung mattress on the other.0 -
I was worried that I might end up sleeping on a kind of sweat teabag of a memory foam mattress.
I have a mattress cover to protect it too.
I bought a pocket sprung memory foam over a year ago and it has suited puss n me well thus far.0
