A good nights sleep

TheCatWoman

I had a new mattress for xmas and I put it on my bed last night and had the most wonderful nights sleep, I knew my old mattress was bad, but I didn't realise how bad until I woke up this morning without pain and a bruised feeling in my hips and shoulders, my neck has only creaked once instead of every few minutes, my arms work properly and my knees feel better.

If any of you have trouble sleeping or with pain have a think about your mattress, is it still comfortable or is it contributing to your problems? My old one had a memory foam top, which I was dubious about to start with, but I think it got dementia and forgot to spring back into shape.

I can't believe I feel so much better.

  • That’s good news! I hope you have woken up refreshed again this morning.

    I changed my mattress about three years ago for a hybrid pocket spring/memory foam ‘Which’ Best Buy, and it is so much better for the joints.

    i have always had bother getting comfortable pillows. After years of using different types of pillows I have recently reverted to feather and down pillows. They are a vast improvement as my head doesn’t slip off them and I don’t wake up with a stiff neck. Having said that, I haven’t slept well for years and I crave a good night’s sleep.

    Do you have the url or details for that?

    It was an Eve Premium Hybrid mattress. 

    I bought it before the company went into administration. I see the ‘Eve’ brand has been taken over by Bensons for Beds and Which says that the test results they show aren’t directly comparable to the mattress I would have bought.

    If I am being picky, the mattress feel coolish when I get into bed, but it sometimes feels a bit warm for me after a few hours but is fine if I push my duvet down the bed a bit.

    I found it very heavy to manoeuvre in my own, but the delivery people put it in place on my bed for me.

    This is just a section of some of the details from Which. There are other brands and models that have better reviews than Eve. I can post the details and comparisons showing pros and cons with test scores for each type if you are interested. I am concerned that too many photos might break the thread, so I wonder would it be better to try this in a new thread?

    To add to the information, Which ranks top mattresses in different ways, eg, ‘best for side sleepers’, best for back sleepers’, ‘best brand overall’, ‘best hybrid mattress’, ‘best memory foam mattress’, best ‘pocket sprung mattress’. I can post images of review in any of these categories if it is helpful.
