Mattress

We bought a new king size pocket sprung with natural filling, pricey but just lovely to sleep on, only downside it’s heavy to turn.

Has anyone tried a Dorma mattress,they are on sale at the moment,i really need a new mattress, because i am waking up with an axhing back and neck, and my mattress is sinking at the sides
The one i hae now is a Dreams mattress, and has been really comfortable, but had it a lot of years now, can't remember exactly,about 15 i think

I assume, Lincslass that your daughter hasn’t been to the factory itself and asked directly then?

I was told categorically (when I pushed them) that it is a “similar” mattress but made to a price point for the domestic market. I admit it was just before the first lockdown so I’m aware things may change but we asked about any differences specifically as my daughter thought she wanted one. I can’t remember the different details but if I remember correctly it was to do with the number and size of the pocket springs ( and possibly the nature of the padding). They have a 5year guarantee whereas all other Hypnos beds have 10 years.

They don’t actually sell the PI beds in their showroom. They are sold through a different system.

In the end she bought a different model but same make (Hypnos) bed.

Hate our mattresses we've had for a few years now. They are Sealey. You cannot flip them over, the covers bobble and hubs one developed mysterious yellow stains, no not urine or tea.

We have iGel combination mattresses.......we opted for a new king size bed and chose two single mattresses to fit it. So much easier to handle.....you cannot flip them over but we do spin them round top to toe and swap mattresses as OH is somewhat heavier and taller than me. We also have single duvets which are so much easier to put inside the duvet covers.

Memory foam mattresses are awful. So hot and clingy.

Dd and Sil bought a 2nd hand super-king memory foam mattress they thought was a real bargain.
But they soon found it too hot and sold it on. They are both naturally warm types though.

BEWARE!
The Premier Inn bed that they sell for domestic purposes is NOT the same specification as the one you sleep on in the hotel.

The one advertised on the hotel website is an altogether cheaper mattress. They imply it's the same but it is not.

As my daughter has one, she would disagree with that statement.

Hypnos mattress here too. Very comfortable.

I wonder with ‘trial periods’ offered with mattresses what they do with them if returned ?

I have seen them advertised as ‘reconditioned mattresses’ on sites like Groupon.

We have a Tempur memory foam mattress and it is far superior to anything we have had before and we have never found it hot. My friend and her husband both have health and sleeping problems and got a Tempur at our recommendation and they are delighted with it. We had another type of memory foam mattress on the spare bed but there was no comparison with the Tempur. We replaced it with a hybrid mattress which was slightly better but not as good as the Tempur - they are expensive but worth every penny.

My favourite mattress, the one they use in Premier Inn. From Hypnos.

I have just bought a new mattress and am very pleased with it. I knew I didn't want foam as I hate the feel and the heat.

I did a lot of research, and decided to go for pocket sprung (better than coil apparently) with some natural filling. I tried them in various shops. I wanted fairly firm as I am heavy. I wanted side stitching, and one that can be turned.

There is a lot of useful info on this bed web site. johnryanbydesign.co.uk/?gclid=Cj0KCQjw3f6HBhDHARIsAD_i3D80X4kSegT4RcBJbOEI0bFnzhBERr61xDStJqnIXaZPuBM37z-JC88aAmsTEALw_wcB

I got one online from Warren Evans with a genuine 40 day return or exchange. It was good value for what I got. warrenevans.com/mattresses/

I can thoroughly recommended this mattress, bought 6 months ago and no complaints.

We have a Harrison Spinks mattress containing Yorkshire wool. It is very comfortable, environmentally friendly, and doesn’t get too hot in summer or too cold in winter. It is very good for allergies and is flame retardant. Worth having a look at their website.

If you can it’s worth going into a bed store and trying several out. I did going in for memory foam and coming out with Harrison wool.

I find the Emma mattress really comfortable. It's not too hot like the original memory foam ones (that you'd sink into) and has a 200 day 'trial' period, so you can return it if it doesn't suit.

I have never found a memory foam mattress too warm. My current one even has an extra layer of memory foam as an additional 'topper' as I love the feeling of being supported like floating.

We have an iGel combination memory foam and spring mattress. It’s really comfortable and not too warm in summer, even for my DH (and we have fleecy bedding in winter).
For years before that we had a memory foam mattress that came rolled up. It was fun to watch it swell up.
The essential advice we were given was to turn the bedclothes back every morning to air the mattress.
My only complaint about the newer one is the weight.

I had a combined memory foam/sprung mattress a couple of years ago. Never again. SO hot in summer. Because in effect, you are sleeping on plastic.

The best mattress I ever had was 50/50 memory foam and box springs. It was like sleeping on a cloud.

There was an earlier thread on this subject Helena, which you might find helpful.
