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.

  • What kind of mattress did you get? I need to order one but dubious about not trying it out first because there are so many options these days… pocket spring, memory foam, latex etc

    It's a pocket sprung one with some kind of topper, I have a topper made of duvel filling stuff that I've put on top of it, but I think I may need a slightly thicker as I can feel the springs.

    Personally I wouldn't have latex as I'm allergic to it and even though it's all suposed to be safely covered away, I still wouldn't risk it.

    I'd much prefer to go and try some out before buying, but as this was a present I couldn't. What does confuse me though is all these companies that offer a refund if you don't get on with what you've bought, mattresses come shrink wrapped and compressed, how are you supposed to wrap it up, or do they come and collect it?

    It took me a while to drop off last night, but I didn't wake up with sore hips and shoulders, I agree with you about pillows, I prefer feather ones too, what sort have you got? Mine came from Dunelm and they don't seem to have as many feathers in as the last pair I bought.
