Bed recomendations?

[graemet]

Any one else have any thoughts? What bed do you have and is it good.

Our old mattress gave up the ghost a while back. Now, I like a firm bed for my back and SWMBO likes a soft one. We saw the adverts for the Harvey Norman "Dial a thingy" but a few minutes on Google revealed some very dissatisfied owners. The thing works on a small compressor inflating an airbed to different pressures. Noise becomes a problem in a very short time.
Anyway, an enquiry for a possible solution to our problem in Sleepy's revealed a Sleepmaker bed that can be custom made (at no extra cost) in any of 4 firmness grades on either side. SOLD - her side is a #1 and I have a #3. Purrfek!
It's called a Sleepmaker Select.
Cheers

That's what I'm after. Off to Sleepy's tomorrow I go.

The only downside to that system is that you can't do the "recommended" flip and rotate of the mattress - apparently to extend the life of the mattress and reduce any "memory" effect.

TL, you and your partner just need to compromise (by that I mean that he should do what you say - well that's my wifes idea of compromise).

I went into a latex mattress shop the other day and was told that the latex matresses were not designed to be flipped. The latex is designed to not have a memory effect. (something about the air pockets) Also they were saying that the latex beds are the go for allergies and are mildew and mould resistant.

As for firm/ soft combos, they said that they could make several different types.Oh and you need a good frame as the matresses are heavy.

I was looking at an airbed like the hardly normal ones but now I am leaning away from them. More research needed I think.

Sleepmaker seem to have Air beds too. I think I would still rather an inner spring with a bit of a pillow top. II want a bit of bouce still. But you can't find out anything about cost on their site. So what did it cost graemet?

Saw a bit of Oprah show the other day some doctor advising do's and don'ts.

He said the bedroom was for only two things, sex was one and i can't for the life of me remember the other one.

Found some reviews from some very unhappy campers. Maybe only unhappy people write reviews? Also seems like they cost over $3000. A bit out of our price.

$3,000 for something you spend one third of your life on, seems like a good investment to me. That's what my Tempur mattress cost. I have never regretted it.

Been looking at those Tempur mattresses too. They are all form aren't they? Just not sure about that.

Went to "Beds for Backs 'today and layed around for a while. Sooooooooo Cooooommmmffffyyyyyyy! Then went to lie on some others. Oh dear! Now we REALLY have to get a "Beds for Backs" bed.

But even if we order a bed tommorow we have to survive the next month on what we have so we put out our "way past it" futon on top of an air bed. Cool. We just might make it.

Hi Tealady,
Those reviews sound like they bought the air or latex select. Ours is the innerspring version, supremely comfortable and the cost was $1999 including the base and delivery, direct from Sleepys.
