Who has got a comfy bed? Come and tell me all about it, please

Mine is giving me backache and headaches and all sorts of aches.

Ideally I'd like one for about a quid, since I have no money at all, but tell me about more expensive ones so I can save up while I creak through the days on my poor, aching bones.

TIA.

I only have a mattress, rather than a bed, but it is super king size and very comfy. It is a sprung mattress which I was sceptical about first, having alwauys had foam ones before, but I love it. It was a case of my trying out all the matresses till I foubd one that I thought was comfy though, so that's your best bet. It was from John Lewis in the sale.

Slatted bed from Ikea.
Sprung mattress.
Mattress topper.

Lovely

So you have a mattress on the floor? Futon-esque? Sounds v comfy.

My problem is that if I go and try mattresses out, I either have boys who want to jump on my head with me, or if they're not with me, I'll fall asleep on a display bed and end up with my photo in the free papers.

I have a slatted bed, mattress and topper from Ikea currently... It is elderly though - prob 12 years old?

lol I would fall asleep too.

Yes, it is just on the floor futonesque stylee, so a nice solid base.

OverMyDeadBody · 08/07/2008 00:10

mhhh yes probably time for a replacement then!

I have a v nice mattress from MFI, hunker - cost more than a quid though . Old one was an ancient futon & I used to wake up stiff as a board, couldn't get my knickers on until lunchtime!

this one - it is sooooo comfortable

The base is a wooden frame, also from MFI, hang on...no, they don't do it any more. this sort of thing though (No footboard so I can hang the feet on the ends of my unfeasibly long legs off the end)

This mattress looks quite a lot like mine but half the price...

one day, when I am rich, I will buy a memory foam mattress.

hunkermunker · 08/07/2008 00:38

of unfeasibly long legs.

Memory foam - is it really comfy? It's foam though - foam? Isn't it sweaty? Wabbit didn't look sweaty when I saw her. Refreshed and bouncy, in fact - I shall investigate memory foam

I have memory foam. Its amazing.

Everyone who lies on my bed cannot believe the comfort.. some have likened it to sleeping on a cloud. I agree.

combustiblelemon · 08/07/2008 00:43

Really? I loathe memory foam mattresses. DH tried to persuade me that we should have one. He settled for a memory foam pillow instead! Every mattress I tried in Dreams was too soft.

We ended up getting a lovely firm sprung mattress from Benson's. This is probably because my bed from leaving the cot until the age of 15 had an orthopaedic mattress.

(Nah, don't waste your , hunker - you don't want them, honest, I am 6' tall and 15 stone )

(I could probably take on Chris Eubank in fact)

zippitippitoes · 08/07/2008 00:53

i have been working on this for what seems like months

memory foam deffo: I have not woken up with aches, pains, stiff neck or hip aching since I had it while pregnant with DS3. There is no substitute, even if expensive: it is WORTH the expense.

You can sometimes buy on interest free credit if you're really broke.

It is a bit warmer than a normal mattress but you compensate by being completely starkers...

We have Tempur memory foam ones in all rooms (except dd's). Bring the boys to play in the holidays and you can have a proper test of them .

Memory foam on the top of a sprung mattress is the total business. We upgraded recently and it is heaven. Quite a lot of people told me that a complete memory foam mattress is very hot and sweaty so we didnt go for that. Ours was from Dreams and I LOVE it!

bogie · 10/07/2008 22:26

We have got a super king size bed with a memory foam mattress and it only cost us £500 from an ebay shop he listed loads and we snapped that one up its soo comfy
