AP's bed is not comfortable enough...

Hi there

My AP complained to me today that her bed is not comfortable enough as she sleeps on her tummy and she says she can feel the springs through it.

Odd, I thought as the bed was bought new from Argos 2.5 years ago (£200 or so) and 3 other AP's have slept on it and not said anything. Its the same quality of bed I would have bought for a guest room.

I had a little lie down and I agree its not as comfortable as my own but its the same standard as those found in other people spare rooms.

I think she is expecting me to buy a new mattress what do I do?

Lovin the wee'd comments! Havent seen any wee marks on mattress so can confidently state my last 2 AP's did not wee on it!

Have ordered a new mattress from John Lewis £150 for a double bed. Funnily enough they dont have them in store for me to have a lie down on

So have said I will be testing it and if all ok will keep otherwise return for another one which they were ok with.

Enjoy the weekend guys!

I slept in someone elses bed for a couple of nights this week. Could hardly sleep for being uncomfortable. Far too soft! I'm used to a rock hard spring mattress! When I stripped the bed I found they had a special topper on made of duck feathers to make the bed extra squishy (on top of already v.soft mattress). So whatever you get won't please everyone! But glad to see that you're replacing your ap's mattress.
