    Mattresses that are good for the back

    14 years in IT has taken it's toll on my back and have an awful mattress at home....

    Anybody had a good experience with buying a top quality mattress. Budget of £1k.

    I know where this thread is likely to end up going but nonetheless I'm sure there are a few good guys on here to give some good advice!

    I've got a tempur mattress. A bit over budget but considering you're likely to spend more time in bed than almost anything else, why are you being so stingy?

      I thought £1k is a decent budget.... must be some good black Friday deals around.

          Bought a Tempur Cloud years ago and the thing is an absolute pleasure to sleep in.

            Had same problem.

            Spend some money, you will be so glad you did. Get super king with two single mattresses that zip together, you can both then get the firmness that suits. We got Harrison with natural animal fibres. It is absolute bliss combined with Sheridan bedding. Cost 3k for mattress and bedding but the better sleep makes it worth every penny.

            I CAN'T STRESS ENOUGH, SPEND SOME SERIOUS MONEY AND GET SOME SEROUISLY BLISSFUL SLEEP!!

                Eve Mattresses are the answer. Now what was the question again?

                They're about £600 for a king size, or were a couple of years ago, and everyone who stays at my gaff remarks on how comfortable they are.

                (I don't have any financial interest in recommending them BTW.)

                  I had a firm memory foam mattress (not tempur) and found it very comfortable. Only downside is that it gets very hot.

                  My Dad, who has awful back issues, now has my old bed and mattress and complains about it being hot but doesn't complain about his back.

                    I've got one of these and saying it's ultimate is an understatement. Just ordered two more for the kids.
