  • I'd prioritise a good night's sleep over most things. I'd say focus on the mattress savings.

    Glad you sorted things out with hubby xx

    That's brilliant news about the £200 reduction in your debt every little helps xx

    Thank you, it's nice, especially as they aren't really getting anything from me!
    I'm glad you're feeling a bit better Jwil and have made up with DH.

    A new mattress does sound like a top priority. We bought a new good quality mattress two years ago. It has a latex topper built in and is like sleeping on a cloud :). Before that DH and I used to have springs digging into our ribs and I used to lie on a slope all night, as DH is much heavier than me. I used to wake up with a backache every morning. With the new mattress I don't roll into DH and I wake up refreshed and with no aches and pains every morning. Worth every penny!

    That mattress sounds great, can you remember what it is?

    Thank you. Definitely it makes a big difference, so we will prioritise it.

    Thank you. I love my bed too, and love sinking into it with a good book, so it would be nice to sort it out, especially now that the kids sleep better.

    I spoke too soon yesterday saying little miss was better. She was sick everywhere last night, so can't go to nursery today. DH has covered, but he is in such a grump about it. To be fair he has covered many of the sicknesses this year as sods law they've always fallen when I've got stuff on at work. I can understand his frustration too, as she is bouncing around like a loon this morning and seems absolutely fine!

    My mattress is a Sealy Posturepaedic Jubilee Latex. It is so comfortable that even two years on I think how glad I am that we spent the money on it.

    This is the one we got. You can probably get it cheaper on a different website. We wanted latex as it's good for dust allergies and keeps you cool at night.

    Thank you, that looks good. Our current one is Sealy though so we'll have to go in and try it somewhere to check it's not as firm! It's a better price than some we were looking at.

    I'm glad she's feeling better, I'm not a good nurse! :rotfl:

  • Yes you'd better lie on a few mattresses and see if you find them comfortable. Different people have different requirements.
