 Mattresses - Bobby
Three years ago we got a new mattress. Against the advice of the guy in the shop we got an extra firm mattress as we like the fact it had no roll and edges form for sitting on etc. And we both liked a firm mattress.

Over the last 3 years as we have both got older, we are getting more aches and pains. Waking up in the morning and the bones are sore comes with age. Over the last 10 days however, due to isolating and then a full blown cold, I have been sleeping in my daughter’s old bed and realised that after a few days I was not getting up in the morning with the same aches and pains that i normally do.

So today we go looking at beds and my missus has found a really comfortable mattress. However, in line with her usual eye of finding the dearest thing in a shop, it is a Tempur mattress and between it and the ottoman base, there won’t be change out of 3 grand!!

Now one part of me says, it’s worth paying if it gives a better sleep and reduces the aches and pains. Another part says but what if it doesnt? Another part says is there a half way product that will do the job but less than 3 grand!

Anyone here been in similar position? Any recommendations/ thoughts? My issue is there always feel comfy but until you have it in your house and sleep on it a few weeks, you cannot fully know how it will be for you.
