Mattress update

Hi everyone

I just wanted to update you all and thank all of you that replied to me regarding mattress advice.

After loads of research and careful consideration and basically doing my own head in trying to find the right brand type/firmness ect and the fact that my partner said he would leave the decision entirely to me🤔

I finally purchased the mattress. The one I really wanted was £650 that my budget would not unfortunately extend to. Good news😁

Just had my king silentnight medium mattress delivered yesterday. So heavy and awkward changing them over.

First night on the new mattress was great. Just realised how bad the old one was😂and how much pain it gave me.

Regards C

That's great. I wish you many hours of uninterrupted & comfy sleep. Did you buy direct from the factory in the end? We saved a considerable amount doing so.

Always spend as much as you can afford on your shoes and your bed because if you're not in one you're in the other

My own stupid fault, I lapse now & again 🤷‍♀️ I wouldn’t mind if they were narrow high heels 👠 but no these are wide trainers but rock hard. Oh well 😔 lesson learned.....until the next time 😊

Glad you’re all sorted out, medium sounds a very good choice. Bet you want to be lying on your nice new mattress all the time.

You saying the mattress was heavy reminded me of when my back was really bad many years ago and in desperation I ordered a sheet of board to put under my mattress.

When it was delivered I took an end - not sure why because the delivery guy had got it as far as the front door by himself - he must have let his end go or something because I ended up taking the weight of the thing and boy was it heavy. Definitely a very bad move for someone with a dodgy back in the first place. After all that it didn’t work because too hard wasn’t good for me at all.

Only delivered to the front door me and partner got it up the stairs and in place, took ages but worth it I want to lay on it every moment I can 😁

😴😴😴 bet you u do. Mattresses are so heavy maybe it’s because I’m getting older but they seem to be getting heavier these days. I can barely lift one of ours t tuck the fitted sheet round the corners. Sleep well.

God yes, before I got out of bed early due to pain, now I can rest a bit more, still have pain but more bearable 😉

I’m so glad you have a good mattress and it’s all working out. I have been through the same painful process myself. Trying to find the best one is a nightmare! So many different types and some so expensive! I settled for a Nectar mattress which came with two memory foam pillows. It as well was heavy but a dream to sleep on! 🥰 I absolutely love it!

Sweet dreams and restful sleep x
