    Congratulations. I was making a joke about a 40 year relationship that is ending.

    I ordered one a couple of months ago. The mattress is OK but I've discovered I'm not a fan of memory foam so returned it last week. The return process was much easier than I thought. Logged onto the Simba website went to online chat and told the person on the other end I wasn't too fussed with the mattress. They sent a couple of guys in a van to pick it up a couple of days later.

    That is one way, the other way I can think off is completely innocent.

    Buying something that you spend 1/3 of your life lying on shouldn't be down to online pressure selling.
    The whole point of "try it and return it if you don't like it" is the hassle of getting it delivered and into your bedroom means you're more likely to keep it, coupled with the hassle of getting it out and collected - that's a calculated risk by the business. Even if it isn't the best mattress in the world (and how would you know, you've not tired others in shops), you'll end up keeping it.
    I went to the shop, tried it, then went back home, looked at other reviews e.g. for durability and if they actually did last as they said they would, plus compared prices... as it happens the mattress I was interested in was actually cheapest in the shop as they had sales and extra special offer that weekend, so I ordered it from the shop... I do the same with many things I go to shops try them and see the touch/feel of them, and they compare the prices and reviews online...

    There are other ways of trying mattresses, but yes buy them from a shop not online as you won't be able to see the quality of what you are buying.

    All my beds have Eve mattresses

    I really like them, although at £700 a pop (King size) they aren't cheap, and they might be a bit firm for some peoples' taste.
