    That just sounds like normal for a Silentnight mattress.......it just shows the power of advertising when people think they are good quality:rotfl:

    QVC had a silentnight bed on a one day special this week that has a memory foam topping. We ordered one as our bed is totalled knacked.
    Nice that you can pay in two payments and try it out for 30 days. If we don't like it, we can send it back!! Where else can you do that?

    I'll report back when it arrives if I can find this thread again.....

    Their mattresses contain 5" of memory foam. Some manufacturers use very deep layers of memory foam, and tell people that the deeper the foam the better. The truth is that the optimum thickness for memory foam is 2" to 2 1/2". Less than this and it won't be enough to contour to your body. If the foam is too deep, then you will sink into it, and it will wrap around you making you too hot.

    Well after scouring the net for ages, I've gone for this on recommendation of the helpful gentleman I spoke with on the phone. I can't find it cheaper anywhere else and should be with me within the week. The guy also said the delivery men will take it upstairs unlike some firms that just deliver to the door.

    They do this too:

    Hopefully my back should be a little better in the mornings now!

    That's a good price. However it is Slumberland who's mattresses don't have the longest life, so remember you will need to turn it around on a regular basis (you can't turn it over because it is a one sided mattress) in order to prolong the life of the springs.

    I was originally looking at Silentnight and then saw a Jaritex one. The guy said Slumberland were better because of the density of the coils.

    Do you think it will last 10 years? Why do they have the shortest life?

    In your opinion, what is the best mattress in this price range?

    Thanks.

    Slumberland don't have the shortest life.......from listening to my customers it appears that Silentnight do.

    As long as you turn it around on a regular basis, then you should get quite a good life out of it (not sure about 10 years though).

    To be honest you will never get as long a life out of a non turn mattress.

    The only pocket sprung/memory foam mattresses that I know about are the Calypso and the Eros. You can get them for a very low price on special offer, but they do cost a bit more than the Slumberland (the Calypso king size is £399), but you would pay nearer £2000 in the shops.

    £375. How long does this last for? ( I like the Kaiser bedstead btw )

    Thanks.
