So, today we are going to look at mattresses ?

I bought a Relyon bed with wool in the mattress. That was about 5 years ago and it still feels like new and very comfortable.

Saxefrage what a good idea. I didn’t know that the library would have Which. I keep toying with the idea of taking out a subscription now I won’t bother.

We have bought one now. Relyon with lots of wool and silk a other stuff in it, all very wholesome. Made in the U.K. too so what’s not to like! The assistant was very helpful and we decided we might not need one to last 30years so was very reasonably priced,

Go to the library and read the Which report. It shows that very reasonable priced mattresses can last just as long and be as comfortable as very expensive ones.

Emma mattresses seem to be very popular. Husband was recommended Emma by his chemo nurse. Anyway he ordered one and is pleased with it - it is comfortable but I find it hot.

I can’t recommend one, but I can warn you off. The Premier Inn one is fabulous to begin with. But after a couple of years, the topper breaks up and goes into ridges, especially a ridge down the middle of a shared double bed, and as it’s stitched in, you can’t remove or replace it. Remember that hotels change mattresses every year, so longevity isn’t important for them.

It’s like buying a car I think. I have a feeling that we will come away from the transaction feeling that we haven’t really got what we want.
Imagine spending £5000 then being uncomfortable, he would never get a good nights sleep after that.
I would make sure of that?

A zip and link mattress. Would need to be the same make but if you have different requirements regarding firmness for example, this enables you to have what you both prefer without the need for separate beds.

Separate beds!!
