    Morning guys, can I ask if anyone has any knowledge of memory foam matresses, not had a decent night's sleep for almost a year and been told we need to invest in one of these, have had a quick look on web but there are so many different variations, can anyone recommend one at all? please n thanks.x
    We have Tempur Cloud. It's not cheap but well worth it for us, we find it extremely comfortable. A lot of people say they don't like Tempur because it makes them too hot but we've not found that to be the case. We got ours from Dreams and it came with a 40(?) day trial so if you really couldn't get on with it, you could exchange it for something else.

    Morning .

    Fireworks started when got settled in bed last night so not happy was nearly midnight before Poppy settled proper.

    So much for time off work I am tired .

    Sorry if I been quiet :(

    Got phone call just as tea was nearly ready Friday strange mobile answered it. Man telling me mum had fell (she had been on way home from town and nearly home) on her face he said she was complaining sore neck and had bad cut on nose. He was with his wife who happened to be a nurse.

    They had phoned for ambulance but got told there was a 4-5 hour wait :mad:

    Man asked if I could get to A&E soon as they where taking her. I said yes and A next door took me. Gets to hospital worrying about mum and worrying about Poppy who was locked in kitchen with no noise I don't possess radio etc.

    Gets to mum she had fallen face first on wet leaves :mad:

    Was at hospital til nearly 10pm I think sorry not sure ,

    Outcome to that mums nose wasn't bad but she as broken a bone in her neck confirmed after a scan :(

    She still in hospital with her neck in a plastic neck thing and she having another scan Monday.

    I got home starving and opened kitchen door Poppy flew out to me she was petrified I found out yesterday fireworks had been going off :mad:

    Went mums yesterday Saturday to pick some stuff clothes towel etc for mum and took them to the hospital. She seemed better than she did Friday when I saw her.

    I told her no way was I visiting last night nor tonight . Bro :mad: least I tell you about him the better put it this way we not close and I am not a violent person but he needs a good slap . He visited last night after leaving work early.

    Visiting is open so can go anytime. I will visit mum after work tomorrow and every day after. Glad visiting is open because my work is nearer hospital then my house . Yesterday I was tired hardly slept Friday was up around 4ish yesterday. Had a bit better sleep last night but still feel tired.

    DS was on stand by to yesterday to travel from Liverpool if bro :mad: couldn't visit mum last night. Bro and his gf (who got car) visiting this afternoon/evening, They will call here but have to go home tonight they both have work tomorrow,

    Sorry if this doesn't make sense but tears are streaming down my face writing it.

    AJ knows full story if it doesn't make sense think she will amend accordingly for you :o

    Hi CC......I have recently purchased two mattresses....It is a nightmare...(pardon the pun) trying to find one...My only suggestion would be to go lay on a few in stores....You can get a feel of what you might like to sleep on...soft/medium/firm......Unfortunately until you actually spend some time sleeping on a mattress you never know if you are going to like it....

    I'm not much help but thought my experience might help you....Good luck:D
