Nothing more valuable to invest your money in, than a good nights sleep.
I bought a Tempur matress and bed about 12 months ago (granted, with a little help from my flexible friend) - but it's the best £2500 that I've ever spent. After years of back trouble, it has all but disappeared. My neck is better, the wife sleeps better, and I even snore a little less. Honestly, there's no substitute for Tempur - they're the original and the best"Being a permy is like being married, when there's no more sex on the cards....and she's got fat."

Over here in sensible German land we went to a family owned/run shop with a huge choice of mattresses, no beds for sale only mattresses, the man made us both lie on the bed to look at our spine alignment and suggested 5 types of mattress at varying prices, we narrowed that down to 3 that we preferred and he then arranged for a test example of each mattress (covered in thin protection cover) to be delivered, 1 for 3 consecutive nights until all 3 were tried and then we returned to the shop a week or so later and made a purchase. He then ordered a new mattress of the one we had chosen. The best service I've ever had. try at home mattresses, the sensible way to purchase things, brought to you by Germany.The proud owner of 125 Xeno Geek PointsComment

I find Sofitel hotels have excellent beds, even though they're otherwise boring 'bizinessy' hotels.

Originally posted by d000hg View PostDP can't afford one either so this spat seems a bit of a non-event. Having £2500 and being able to "afford" that much on a mattress are different so on that basis, neither of you can afford one. Neither can I.Comment
