I suspect it is time for a new mattress as the current one is about 20 years old and far from flat. I’m a grade-A insomniac, so it clearly doesn’t work very well either. I had a quick look around online yesterday and ended up with total option paralysis. Not something I know anything at all about.
It looks like some of the more highly recommended modern types with memory foam etc seem to get very good reviews initially but don’t seem to last more than a year or two with people complaining about sags, lumps etc later. There is a very big difference in 5 star reviews from new buyers, 1 star from folk who have used it for a year or more on many sites. As such I’m more inclined towards conventional pocket-spring construction. I just want to do this once as I can’t even begin to describe how little this sort of thing interests me. Just looking for brands to shortlist or avoid.
Size standard double. Budget say up to £500, £600 tops. There would need to be delivery and collection of the old one as I don’t drive. I think my taste is fairly firm, but again it is not something I’ve ever thought about. I slept on a basic futon for many years. Whatever I buy I want it to last.
Any recommendations?
