Silentnight or sealy

[badhairday]

Would be interested to know people's experiences with regular mattresses such as silentnight and sealy. Do they need replacing in a year or two?

p.s: I had to discount the ikea mattresses as they would not fit the bedframe in the room.

I have found Silentnight stuff to be utter carp!

Having lived near enough to the factory where they are made I have also heard tales about how badly they are made.

I had a silentnight bed, the top of the range super duper king size.
it lasted only 18 months before it started collapsing.

Never again.

Now I have a Myers mattress, on a wooden slat bed, 50mm foam on top.
far better & Myers will generally last many years beyond what they say they will.

it started collapsing.

perhaps you overworked it

you need less

and more more

I really wouldn't bother with either - I canNOT recommend enough the virtues of a water bed. Yes they are a bit pricey but they're well worth saving up for and treated correctly they will last far longer than any other bed and so work out cheaper in the end. The only regret we have is that we didn't get one sooner - and that I'm out of it now (0245hrs!). Trouble is I've just found this excellent site this evening and it's got me hooked! However, I'm now going off to my little bit of paradise . Seriously though - a waterbed is the only way to go!
