What mattress do you have?

[Rachell1]

Hi All,

I am in desperate need of a nice new mattress having slept on a horrid one for years!

Been and sat on a few and I think I rather like the spring mattresses with the layer of gel/memory on top (think they are called Hybrid?). I don’t want anything too firm.. I suppose just medium?

I did look into Simba and Emma mattresses but seeing lots of mixed reviews.

Looking to get other opinions and recommendations please!

Thanks x

We have an Emma. I hate it, but this may be because I just hate memory foam.

Do you find it gets too hot as I am hearing that you can get quite sweaty with memory foam?

I have a hypnos mattress with a panda memory foam topper and it's the best of both worlds I love it.

A Hypnos in the John Lewis sale. It’s fantastic x

Vispring. I plan to be buried with it.

I got an Otto which is similar to a Simba or an Emma in that it comes rolled up. Loved it for 2 years but now it's saggy (we are heavy people though!). Waiting to move house so we can get a bigger bed but I'll be getting a 'proper' mattress at that time

I have a tempur mattress. I love it - sooo compfy. In fact if I didn't have to get up for the loo in the morning I'd never get out of it!

IKEA. Cheap, comfy, and easy to get!

John Ryan By Design Artisan Luxury Mattress. I love it.

@SavingsThreads , which IKEA please? Also looking for one..

We've got the Emma, I really love it, very comfortable.

If you can afford it - tempur. Not at all hot, but so comfie. Mine is 18 years old and I still adore it. I have a simba too (the Emma was too hard) but it’s gone a bit saggy after 5 years and the tempur is still fab.

We have a Hypnos orthopaedic mattress, it's so comfortable.

Tempur here too. I absolutely love it.

NOA one. I hated it at first, but it’s much better now.
also the ikea valevag is good.

@YogaLite I have the hyllestad as it came with a firm option which I wanted. Has started sagging now (7yrs in) as I sleep in the middle!

Hypnos Premier Inn mattress. Great. Also you can try it out at a Premier Inn first!
Also, if you have a relative who works for Whitbread group you can get them at a substantial discount.

Wool mattress from the wool room - wonderful.

Tempur, still amazing after 8 years.

I would avoid Simba like the plague. We got their more expensive one and after 18 month it was already so saggy it was messing up our backs - and we're not particularly heavy people (albeit both tall). We've just replaced with a Hypnos as we've never had issues at Premier Inns and because you can turn and flip it I think it might last longer!

Can't believe the money per month of use we probably blew on the Simba, grrrr....

We’ve got a Tempur. It’s ten years old and still fantastic.

After sleeping on the comfiest bed I have ever slept on in a rented holiday cottage I checked the label of the mattress and it was durabed. Literally like sleeping on a cloud.

So I searched the internet for a place that sold durabed matresses online and bought one as we were ready for a new mattress anyway. The mattresses are really good quality I think they are made with wool and springs and that they are made in the UK. Perfect amount of support but softness.

Tempur. The more recent ones don’t make you hot as previous generation ones apparently did. It’s a super king and was very expensive, but so comfortable.

We have a John Ryan by Design mattress. It's bliss. Can't get on with the beds in a box, they make me too hot and everyone I know who has one says they start to sag early on!

We have an Emma. It is fine. Works well for us.
