I always had problems finding a good one until I stayed in a hotel that had a blinder for comfort so when I came home I bought one of the same, never looked back.

Default well pleased ..

Today we went mattress hunting and found a king size Vi-Spring Bedstead Supreme in the House of Fraser sale.. The RRP was £2,000 , sale price £1485, further reduced to £900.. so after her and I had a good bounce on it we decided it was the dog's whotsits and go for it, so I spoke to the sales guy and asked about delivery .. 6 - 8 weeks he replied, disappointed I asked about the 'floor' model and he said yeah , you can have that for £700 and delivered next Monday.

Thanks for all the advice.. looking forward to a decent nights sleep now...

Wow, a £2000 matress, I didn't think there was such a thing. So Jim, your early morning posting will stop then, you'll not be waking up till lunch.

I should be so lucky .. but it will hopefully give a better nights rest.. and when we sell George the bed will be worth more than the RV


Here is the mattress ..
