How should/can I choose the right bed mattress type?

Now that is family planning! I wonder how it's transported so quickly.

I find that good mattresses cost a fortune, but are well worth it. We have a Vi-Spring, in no way is it a soft mattress, but we find it extremely comfortable, No children conceived yet, but not surprised, if there were we would make the front page of the Sun, as the oldest couple to have a child, perish the thought!

My latest uncomfortable one was priced at £1300 (for a single mattress - we have a box base that contains 2 single mattresses) in John Lewis. It was half of a zip-and-link pair. Someone in the warehouse had 'lost' the other half, so the customer had cancelled the order. I got it for £250.

Debateable. I still don't like it.

I really liked the bed at the Novotel Sheffield I stayed in a couple of weeks ago. I wonder if I can find out where they got them from?

Possibly Hypnos who do a good hotel range, although I an not sure that Novotel would pay their prices. Try contacting the hotel and ask to speak with the duty manager or drop them an email.

Is there some strange quirk here that makes this a better claim than simply:

10% of Europeans sleep on an IKEA mattress?

(which TBH doesn't sound like a big deal)

The tacit implication that people who shop at IKEA still get laid?

[polygonum]

And it probably runs better than 10% of people die on Ikea mattresses.

(Yes - I know lots of people don't die in their own beds.)

I find that hard to believe, the shops are always so busy. No privacy at all. ;-)

Yes, thanks, I was going to try something along those lines.

[John Rumm]

Yeah, the joke does not work that way ;-)

Eyewwww, too much information.
