It is donkey's years since we last purchased a mattress and I had
forgotten what to look out for.
I started today with a visit to "Dreams" in Watford followed by surfing
the web. I am now more confused than ever.
How many box springs?
Are pocket box springs different?
Are micro springs better? Are they supplimental or complimentary?
How many GSM should I be looking for?
The problem is so many brands are not clear about these things.
Any sleep specialists reading this?
TIA

Errr.... whats mattresses got to do with UK digital Television?
Unless you actually have a bed that has one of these:

What worries me is that the online vendors like Emma etc, with their hi tech offer a sleep on it for 60 days and if you then return it you will get a refund. It actually never says what they do with returns, would you want a mattress that somebody has slept on for 60 days for your bed, when its supposed to be new.?
It is true however that most mattresses are only supposed to last 10 years. They give often lots of goodies on line like a free pillow and a 15 year guarantee, assuming its worth the paper its printed on. If its underwritten by a company you know fine, but much like Double Glazing its not and if the company dies or winds up and restarts as a new name their liability ends.

In which case, depending upon budget of course, going to long established
bed manufacturers like Vi-Spring might be a good idea - I think they offer something like a 25 or 30 year warranty. But they're expensive.

PS who recalls the Monty Python sketch about buying a mattress. Its still funny, even though I could not actually tell you why.

Yes assuming that they do exist, I think Emma and its likes are 15 years.
