do you work for the mattress marketing board?The highest spring count you can afford.
No. But I’m open to offers.do you work for the mattress marketing board?
We sent back an Emma mattress that my wife hated. I think an external company (charity?) came to pick it up and we didn't have to put it back in the box, just the plastic wrapping. Not sure what happened to it after that, but it was very stress free, except for the anxiety of having to order another mattress to be delivered from Tempur and hoping it wasn't crap!If you don't like it and want to send it back how do you get it back in the box??
Dreadful. Much too hotWe've got a Tempur. Probably the best mattress I've ever slept on.

How do you feel about octasprings?I feel like anything that unrolls, expands or otherwise unpacks itself from a compacted state is probably of questionable structure and durability.
Also someone mentioned spring count - more springs are good up to a point, but there is an upper limit constrained by physical space at which point it moves into marketing shit - mini springs or springs combined to get the number up. Between 1000 and 1500 is sensible.
Never heard of them before, but looking now, they seem to be memory foam springs. I suppose my main question is: why? It makes it much easier for the mattress company to store and ship their product, but does it offer any benefit to the consumer? Traditional pocket springs have a very long history. Foam springs possibly haven't been around long enough to know how they perform a few years later.How do you feel about octasprings?
I've seen too much mattress infomercials
A real futon though seemingly far more hardcore is actually incredibly comfortable. No matter what you see or search for in the UK from the 'traditional real japanese futon company', they are just not the same thing at all.Futon? Luxury! I prefer to sleep in an active volcano!
