Beds and matresses

We had a Tempur for 19 years. I never found it too hot and found it very good for support.

We changed it about a month ago for a hybrid from John Lewis. So far so good.

I would look at shops and manufacturers which allow you to return the bed/mattress after a few weeks if it’s not suitable.

It’s so difficult to come to a decision in shops isn’t it?

I had a memory foam topped mattress which did get very hot and became too soft for my back. Recently my unstable disc and spinal arthritis had an acute episode..total agony. My Silent night back care mattress was wonderful. I wouldn't have a Tempur but they are very popular.

I thought Tempur were one of the ones that do the money back if you're not satisfied? I think they give you at least a couple of months to try it out, so if you can find this offer it might be worth insisting despite the sales assistant's 'advice'. I hope you can find something to give you some relief.
