Hi all

Just bought a new flat - im buying a double bed for about £300 bur cant decide what mattress i require!

There are so many to choose from; sprung, firm, comfort, luxfirm, cushion top, memory foam.

The above start at £70, and then go up by about £15 each time.

I'll be sleeping alone - initially ;)

Any advice!?

Thanks
 
Is it likely to see a lot of action or do you need to buy one for support?

That's got to be the most disturbing smiley i've ever seen seco :shock:
 
as it's a place where you're likely to spend about a third of your life then go for the most expensive one you can afford... your back will thank you later in life..

pocket springs prevent "roll together" since they are individual rather than connected..
the more springs the better.. and anything that's described as orthopedic is a good bet..
never used memory foam so can't comment on it's effectiveness

my single cost me about £300 4 years ago..

also depends on what size you get..

single = 90cm
small double = 120cm
double = 135cm
kingsize = 150cm
superking = 180cm


oh, and do yourself a favour, book the next day off the day it's delivered.. I overslept till 10am it was that comfortable...
 
The best thing to do is go to the shop, and try them out.

There is a Rosebys near here with a very friendly bed salesman, he told us the best way to try the beds.

Lay flat on your back, legs straight, and with your hands under the arch of your back. If you can pull your hands out with little resistance, try anotehr matress. The theory is that if the matress is right, it should support you and your hands should be stuck there.
 
if you go back after hours, and don't mind the video camera, you can persuade a salesman to let you try it out properly ;)
 
You can't beat Dunlopillo. Good support and good damping too. I find that sprung mattresses have their own resonant frequency which might not match yours. :wink: Our first Dunlopillo lasted us over twenty years. :D
