Bed mattress
as they get older I sort of assumed springs would wear down , mattress would get become too soft ?!
is this just not the case ?
ours is divan , but I'm not touching the base ! i frequently now wake up sore flanks / ribs - like the mattress has firmed up whist been asleep
all fine after walking around in morning

We just replaced ours after us both waking up with lower back pain. We went for the OTTY mattress and pillows, actually can't believe the difference and after a few weeks we are no longer feeling the pains.

This topic is close to my heart, I've been having terrible back pain in the mornings that dissapears after about 15mins. Some days are worse than others.
I had pulled a muscle during one bout of the sickness and diarrhoea bug and it's never really recovered, so we decided the best option was to get a new mattress as ours was utter crap, I went and tried some out and they were awesome.
I spent a fair few quid and it should be here this week coming, I can't wait.

I'd go have a look and see what's what, try a few and if you're happy, buy a new one. Considering the amount of time we spend in our beds then it's definitely worth it.

200 gallons of H20
Wife used to complain about back pain all the time
Went over to a 95% motion damped waterbed, and after the initial couple of
days, never had a problem since

Me and the missus used to wake up in pain due to our old matress, we did have it 10 years so is probably to be expected really, i was constantly waking up with ribs and shoulder pains and the missus was getting a bad back neigh on every day. In the end i thought **** it and started looking at bed and matress combos, we ended up with a nice bed and a tempur matress, not cheap at all but the sleep we get now is perfect. I should of spent the money years ago tbh

I'm considering mattress topper ( since the mattress itself seems ok)
Why don't you sweat like a ********d With the foam ones ?
Had foam on the boat uncovered for a while and it would be soggy overnight

If you have the readies, stop messing about and buy a Tempur. If you want a price PM me your address and I'll get you one from your local Dreams store.

Can be, but as far as memory foam mattresses are concerned it needs to be avoided if you want a reasonable temperature when you sleep. The less expensive end of the mf market tends to be closed cell and this is where you read complaints about them being hot.
I understand and no problem. You can get a reasonable 'traditional' pocket sprung mattress for £300ish if you're happy to forgo natural fillings. Will be about 1000 pocket springs, which is fine. If you want a higher spring count and natural fillings you'll need to increase your budget, but consider the length of service and support you'll get from a better mattress.
What size? Firm, medium or soft? What's the budget? If you let me know these things I can help you, Duncan. Also, well worth considering a clearance mattress. Expect to get a genuine 50% discount for negligible defects.

We used to have a Tempur memory foam matress.
Not sure how long they are supposed to last but after 7 years it was saggy and we both used to wake up with pains.
The wife was complaining for a while that it's not comfortable, I should have listened to her earlier.
We now have a Hypnos and we can both get good sleep.

The 'Artisan' range from these guys is supposed to exceptionally good.

I like that they set out the important data about the matress construction.
We have a Sealey matress which has been very disappointing; its memory foam started to loss its memory after about 3 years, just coming up on 6 years and I want rid.
Always important to have a comformtable bed and comfortable shoes, in you are not in one you are in the other!
