Please recommend decent mattress!

Howdy lovely MN's

We are after a new mattress - medium firm. Just getting royally fed up with them sagging within a few months, never to bounce back and leaving us to sleep on a horribly lumpy mattress. It's not even that we are that heavy! Don't mind if have to rotate, tip them over, whatever, just something that lasts.

We used to buy mattresses from a company in Yorkshire, called Beauty Sleep but they seem to have gone downhill and the last one lasted 3 months, rather than the normal 10 years. So we are hoping you guys have some tried and tested mattresses that have lasted and can share which type please?

Only thing not keen on is Tempur as we've not heard a good thing from friends who spent out, spending a grand or more just to throw them away because uncomfortable.

Cheers loads!

Ouch, expensive 6 months sleep! Sorry it didn't last. It really annoys me, never had this issue growing up, we'd change mattress because well, they got too old and dirty rather than lumpy and collapsing!

I neve4 felt the buttons on the Hypnos mattress but I always use a protector and a topper to add to the pillowyness. I was put off by some poor reviews of Harrison Spink. Including the occasional maggot infestation from improperly stored or treated wool.

PS I have a slatted bedstead base. Check which mattress is suitable if you have one. And the slats need to have no more than a 70mm gap

Ha, I saw the review with the moth maggots! 😥

Thanks - going to treat ourselves to a new bed frame too, so thanks for the tip.

Look at the John Ryan by Design website. Tons of information on there. They also offer a no quibble money back guarantee if you don’t get on with the mattress. I read loads on their website about how a lot of bed shops and manufacturers get confused about soft, medium and firm mattresses. They explain you can have a firm tension mattress but feels soft. It all depends on your weight and what sleep position you have. I ended up buying a Winstons beds mattress . It’s fantastic. Cost me £1700 a couple of years ago but all natural, breathable materials. They are based in Manchester and all their luxury mattresses are handmade

I also definitely agree with the bed base, if a slatted base make sure the gap is no bigger than 2.5 inches

We have a John Lewis…. Cost over £1k just 2 yrs ago….its flattened at the sides & I now need a new one. Won’t be going back to John Lewis!
we previously had a silent night mattress…that’s what I’ll be going for now.
