Mattress, which one?
Friends wants a new very firm mattress.
https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https...tr9rSCrFjvCITA or https://tinyurl.com/ybe3v3zn is £84.99, oddly cheap. Can anyone shed any light on this or other mattress choices? She wants 5ft kingsize extra firm. NT |

We wanted a proper mattress for the over cab bed in our motorhome- the supplied ones are ok but not for longer trips. We opted for one from Ikea - about £100 from memory and (I think) King Size (they are available in King Size). Various grades are available- ours is a firm. It is very comfortable- even on a hard under surface. Don't be shocked by the way it is packed. I comes in a compressed roll but expands when you removed the plastic. Yeah, noticed that with the Aldi ones. Havent been game to buy one tho. |

"Our experience with Ikea mattresses is all positive. Our mattress lasted 18 months before the springs started sagging in the middle. Now we are looking for a new one researching https://slee****imple.co.uk/. We haven't decided ob a particular option, but we know for sure we
will NEVER buy an ikea matteress again." |

I'd have thought that was probably faulty. Mattresses unless used as
trampolines last at least 4 or five years even under strong use. I'll not suggest what strong use is here. Brian -- ----- - This newsgroup posting comes to you directly from...

Are there any other such basic products with such a wide price range? And every single one being sold at a 'discount'. The full price markup over manufacturing costs must be phenomenal. -- *How do you tell when you run out of invisible ink? * Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |

Hot & sweaty in Summer, only a sheet needed. |
