Mattress recommendation

[caduceus]

I'm in the market for a new mattress. Have a slight lower back niggle so nothing too soft.
I did try a couple today in a quite pricey establishment close to me and I found a Hypnos & Sleepeezee which were nice, but pricey. Looked on Google while I was there as this place did not do the Sleepeezee 60 day exchange. Maybe that's only buying direct from them. I did see another brand on an article called Happybeds, promoting the Signature 2000 mattress for less than half the price of the above two and I wondered how many other brands are worth a look.

I don't want Simba or Emma as I've heard bad reviews. Does anyone have any other recs based on experience?


Thanks in advance.
Cad

Theres no better way than buy in person.
Go put your bum on beds.
Until you understand what you find comfy for you then you wont be able to buy. If you then buy online so be it but you need to test the mattress yourself.
Its a purchase you will make once every 10+ years so a weekend of going to Dreams etc is not that hard.

This is so true but as a reference point do you know what your current mattress is?

A few years back I replaced the mattress with a new one, the label was gone from the existing one so I made what I thought was the right choice based on the trying a few in the shop and got it wrong so look for the exchange policy and conditions that apply where you buy.

If the existing one is comfortable it is a good guide so be a little wary if the replacement is very different.

I bought mine from Dreams and went through the exchange process, it wasn't cheap but sleep much better now.

I'm currently using an IKEA foam mattress, after a recommendation here. Can't remember the name but it's very comfortable so far and cost relatively buttons, so if it only lasts a few years I'll be happy.

This... you spend a 1/3rd of your life on it so go and try many.

We bought a couple of mattresses for our Daughter's house from Belfast Beds in Cambridge - Absolutely first class product and service.

We like the Hovag.

Both my adult kids have one, and we're getting one to replace a memory foam mattress that's past its prime.

I was going to suggest adding Ikea to the list of places to try mattresses. We tried quite a few and ended up with one from there ourselves, pocket spring hybrid of some sort.

John Lewis currently have 20% off all mattresses, might be worth having a browse

Ten years on my current Hypnos mattress and it's one of the best buys I've ever made.

Very happy with my Sleepeeze Hybrid 2000, looks like they go for £700 in king size these days

Whenever we stay away we always make a note of any comfortable mattress we sleep on.

After sleeping on it on two separate occasions this is the winner at the moment; we shall by buying one in a couple of months' time:

I would go back to Ikea and have a test session there.

We also love the Hovag but i don't think Ikea do them any more.
