    Evening all.:A

    Am after a bit of advice. I am looking for a new bed. I have a memory foam mattress which has had it. I think I want one with springs and memory foam. What do I look for? Baring in mind I have back problems. Thanks.

    My current mattress is mira coil sprung with 8 inches of memory foam on the top.
    Think it is silentnight but can check when I make the bed tomorrow.

    I find this nice and firm and it has the no roll together bit as well. Bought It 5 years ago after a quick sucession of cheap mattresses. It has not lost the shape at the side where I get on and off either.

    Mattresses are a very personal thing and I know some places let you return within 30 days if its not suitable.
    I will look up the make and model for you tomorrow.

    Night David.

    I cant stand memory foam, tis the work of the devil in my eyes, but appreciate that we all have different tastes.

    If you can return the mattress after 30 days, what do they do with it?? :eek:

    Thanks, had a look at Tesco, however I dont have that much in vouchers and you need to have the whole value in vouchers, not just be able to pay some vouchers and some cash.
    Will have a look at the reconditioned, and Im sure I read before about 'open box'?
    Off for a gander.
    Love your Mum, you'll never get another one when she's gone.

    No one wants to read something nasty about their daughter with an audience.

    I dont know her that well and the daughter is actually a handful ( in fact the story goes that the Dad moved out as he was not allowed to discipline her). I know the Dad better so I might talk to him. Regardless of what the girl is like it needs to be dealt with swiftly by the police or her parents.

    They work on the assumption that a good salesman will make sure you buy the right mattress for your needs. Sometimes returned mattresses get sold on as seconds and somethimes they are used with display beds. I couldn't sleep on a completely memory foam mattress, they get very warm and as you sink in it makes it hard to roll over.
    Coil sprung with a memory foam top is the perfect mattress for me. The memory foam on top stops my body aching too much and provides some warmth.

    Good evening - popping in late again (as is now usual:D), presumably to be thanked immediately by fairclaire;) and davemorton.

    I'm here as I've got a small number of things to tell you:

    I was barking up the wrong tree regarding the F Bentos pies on Sains vs T - just checked the BM result online and it was the 5pk Chewits (£1.30 S 67p T) that returned N/A - probably because T.com says "multipack" rather than "assorted fruit" or doesn't state the weight but clearly the same so I'll be sorting it out tomorrow. Not much use perhaps for future Sains. shopping - T offer due to end 11/6 (but, therefore, T shoppers to look out for re. DTDs?). I'd bought two Chewits multipacks, as don't see that 67p very often, so amount out seemed close to the difference on the Bentoses. Will be sorted tomorrow.

    Whoever managed to get an Air Wick plug-in for 2p, check TCB snap & save to see if it's the one on there as could have a few pence more than you spent back in cashback.

    Not too much on snap/save at the moment I think, and those that are are expiring 11/6, perhaps the Pukka Steak Pie and the Walkers Cheese & Onion 6 pk crisps if we can get them as part of a glitch. Need to find if Discovery Salsa Mexican is on offer anywhere (preferably not A) and buy at the other place to where the offer is.
    Perhaps El Paso Taco Shells are on offer somewhere or the 6pack Mountain Dews (£1.10 TCB could be good if their available across stores and on offer - probably not though).

    On TCB, not too pleased about the charged upgraded service - could this be the precursor to charging for everyone and no free accounts any more? Otherwise must remember to upgrade, to get the 105%, use it properly and diarise to come out immediately before the 3 month 'free trial' is up. I guess it costs them to maintain even a small office and staff and to give 1% extra cashback than they actually receive (the '1% for all' thing). There's no such thing as a free lunch.

    Finally - why did no-one PM me to tell me I still had my Morries list saying "3/6/13-4/6/13" at the top, despite it now running to 9/6/13?:mad: ('Mad' at me not noticing it still said that till now, more frustration than madness!:D)

    Do you want my tips for what I expect to continue at M's current prices? (I could be totally wrong though.)
