Default Beds

anyone have any suggestions for a new bed ?

I have been around all the bed shops in Harlow and am even more confused than before I started. If its not Miracoil then its Memory foam or Pocket Springed with 1200+ indiviual springs !!!!

We bought our old kingsize about 7 years ago and it was only a cheapy. I have been suffering with backache for a while and we're thinking that the cheap old bed (which is now broken, but repairable) is a contributing factor.

We looked today and at the moment have decided on a Myers Visco Memory Pocket bed. Its £580 for a King and a SuperKing works out at £840. I did a search on the net and found a Myers Visco SuperKing for £600 but I am really put off y buying online incase it isint the same as the one I've laid on already.

Anyone got any suggestions or recommend a decent site to buy a new ned from (Divan by the way, I'm not having another stupid wooden framed one)

Just thinking of getting the bugger home without it costing a small fortune.

We have seen one we liked and Im sure it was a Myers Visco something and have found it for £620 for a Superking online. Have measured it up and it'll go in !

Just wondered with all the different makes what peeps in 'the know' would recommend

Went into Pronto Beds yesterday and I think we decided on a bed in there. I've looked online and have found it cheaper but was dubious as I have never bought from any bed sites before and wondered whether I was gonna get ripped off

I got a 50% memory foam and 50% sponge, I suffer with a bad back and this has been fine.

Plus, it comes rolled up like a sleeping back vacum packed. take the wrapping of and leave it for an hour and it expands to the full thickness. so fitted in the car no worries.

paid 300 notes for it.

what sort of bed do you want?

pocket sprung are usually soft, and memorys feel firm.

you need to ignore all the shite marketing and pick a bed that feels good for you.

yo spend at least 1/3 of your life in bed so need to be comfortable.

what is your budget? I work for one of the big uk manufacturers and so may be able to help...

I think we have decided on a Myers Visco something. Its pockets sprung with memoryfoam ???? We both liked it so looks like its gonna be that. Although we did like a SilentNight miracoil latex ???? Whats better ?

Tango If I had too much to drink and pee'dmyself the wife really would NOT be happy !
