Mattress in a box recommendations please

[CleanShirt]

I'll start this by saying I had a Simba before and hated it!

Looking for something similar to sleeping on a cloud or in a giant marshmallow. I love being comfy and cosy and now I have nobody else to consider in my mattress purchases I want to get something that suits me and me alone!

Emma - it's wonderful. I love ours. Not the cheapest but it's worth buying for the comfort and refreshing feeling you get each morning :-)

We have an Emma and love it. Can't remember exactly what 'model' but it wasn't the cheapest or most expensive. Think about £750

Remfit we've had ours 6 years and it's still as comfy as the first night. I've bought the kids them too.
Look out for offers we got 40% off ours and similar for the kids. If you don't like it they take them back and donate to the bhf.

I have a Zinus mattress, would recommend. It's mid range price wise, supportive yet is really comfortable.

I have a Nectar. Can't remember how much it was. Had it 5 years and it's still like new! Love it!

I had an Emma and it was awful, it killed my back. We sent it back and got a decent Relyon one - although that didn’t come in a box

I love my Otty. 3 years old and like new

Warren Evans, I have 2 of them in the other bedrooms and guests fight to stay there . Thr bog standard luxury one is divine and currently has a 40% sale as well as 10 week guarantee

Go to your local Jysk and try them all.. they deliver in a box.. l wouldn't buy a mattress without trying it
Mine is memory foam with cooling gel.
Was £400 in sale usually £800.
They often have sales.. I've had Emma( sent it back.. it soon sagged in the middle) Dormeo was the same.

It's in the sale.

Those people who love their Emma mattresses - how long have you had them? Ours was rubbish after a year or so. Terrible quality.

I would never buy one in a box again. We went to a bed shop and bought a proper mattress and it's amazing.

If you think about it anything that can be squeezed into a box will eventually compress and wear out with use. A decent mattress is full of proper filling.

Not sure if it's exactly what you mean but we got one from IKEA that's rolled up. You then unroll it and it becomes like a normal mattress

Why do you want one in a box?

I went to John Lewis and spent a good hour or more laying on all the mattresses there, ordered my favourite (which is probably different to yours) and it was delivered a few weeks later.

We've had an Emma one for about 4 years and it's still as good as when it was new

Really hated our Emma - memory foam doesn’t suit me - find it roasting. Barely slept while we had it but sent back

Will never buy one again unless I can lie on it and try it!

I have an Emma and I really like it. Had it 4 years now

I bought one. It was an expensive waste of money. Never again!

I am looking for a good foam mattress as well.

Because it needs to be stored for a while. Long and complicated story.

Thanks all, I'll do some research!

Beware of zones in the mattress, I had to send one back as gave me back ache. Would never buy a mattress with zones which seems to be a trend nowadays 👿

We had an Emma for a few years; it was fabulous at first, then sagged and gave us backache. After a lot of correspondence and argument, they have now given us a replacement. It is fine at the moment, but I'm not expecting it to last any longer than the previous one.

When this wears out, I'll be going back to a proper mattress again.
