How long have you had your bed?

[ioweddie]

Was thinking of changing ours but bought a mattress topper instead last year and its soooo! comfortable. Just wondered how long people keep their bed before buying a new one. Eddie.

Normally until there is a problem with it or, more importantly it becomes uncomfortable, or you get aches not caused by anthing else.

We've had our bedstead and Sealy foam mattress for 8 years and it is still fine.

We did spend £2000 on it though but was money well spent in hindsight.

Probably shouldn't admit it, but we've had ours for over 30 years. Quite expensive at the time. Mattress probably needs renewing, but still pretty comfortable. Or maybe just used to it!

15 years. Just had delivered a new bed last week. Memory foam and its so comfortable, I sleep better now than I have for 5 years. 700 quid but money worth spending.

Hypnos mattress, I think. Bed frame, no idea. Came from John Lewis if I remember rightly...

Don't ever skimp on your bed or your shoes. If you're not in one , you're in the other.

Memory foam and its so comfortable,

For me, as I sleep on my front I found it the reverse and sales chap agreed they are great if you sleep on your back but front sleepers struggle.

True, but its more comfort than cost and as we know, the most expensive is not always the best for us..

Are waterbed's similar to memory foam, not so good if you sleep on your front?

My bed is about 150 years old, but the mattress was replaced about 3 years ago with a John Lewis one - keep turning them (assuming they are supposed to) and it should last a decent amount of time.
