We returned our John Ryan. Was not wearing well and turning it was a royal PITA as it must have been close on 100kg.
We now have a memory foam mattress and its loads better.
I went John Ryan and loving it. Correct it's a big bugger even as only a double. Doubt I could manhandle it on my own. We now have a memory foam mattress and its loads better.
It does settle but I flip and turn it every month.
Out of interest what wasn't wearing well?
My side has flattened down as I live alone but don't sleep on the right side of the bed for some reason
Our was super king so was a total b'strd to turn.
It was developing quite bad depressions - strangely on my wifes side was worse and she is 3 stone lighter than me.
The middle was really nice but after only a few weeks it was defo not right.
They offered to swap it or give a refund and we went for the refund as they said the swap was a one time only swap.
They collected it without fuss though.

I called home its a vi spring membury large emperor, turns out its actually bigger than I thought its 215cm x 217cm, I always thought it was square, I also see from the spec its 85kg. It was about £3k, but as I spend a third of my life on it why be cheap about it
Thanks.Much appreciated.

Didn't really notice any problem with the smell though after the first day.
Anyone know whether these Simba mattresses are any good? Supposedly several different layers and some springs, although the marketing looks the same as eve/Casper/Leesa/etc.

Tried a couple of Tempurs in a shop and found them too soft. Very comfortable at first - but I think I would struggle to sleep with sinking in so deeply that I was surrounded by a wall of mattress!
We got an Eve delivered last week. So far I'd say it's decent. It doesn't have that immediate "ahhhh" feeling of a Tempur, but as above I'm not convinced that feeling lasts.
It's quite firm, but I like that. I have seen a few reviews where people said you need to give it a couple of weeks before making up your mind - so that's what I'm doing.
Oh and also it does smell! Not a pleasant smell, and it has stuck to all of our bedding. But I think that's unavoidable with a new foam mattress.
Also a recommendation for anyone else that sleeps on their side and has broad shoulders. Try this pillow (7cm version): https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00KIT3Q7W/
After years of uncomfortably folding/scrunching up a pillow to reach the required height, I got one of these last week and it's great! It has quite a firm foam core, but is nicely padded around the core. So you get a nice soft/squishy pillow which doesn't collapse too far. I would maybe like it to be just a teeny bit taller/firmer, but it's easily the best pillow I've ever used.

It's probably my old one 
The guys who came to collect it, who were just from a courier company, not from Eve, walked in and said "so, too firm then, or too hot?" I queried and they said they spend all day picking up Eve mattresses and those are the two reasons everyone gives when they return them. I asked what happens to the returns. He said they stitch a new cover on and send them out again as a new mattress. He then looked at mine closely and pointed out some stitching, which I'd never have looked at, and said "there, you can see where it's been done, this one has already been returned before".
That's interesting. I wonder if it could be the reason some have "new foam smell" and others don't?
We're also getting a Leesa mattress to try, to see which we like best. I remember reading on their website that they give returns to local charities (as well as donating 1 mattress to a homeless shelter for every 10 sold) which I thought was a smart use for them.
