Lesley Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Last night I had the best nights sleep ever!!!!! I used Christmas money to buy new bedding. We bought our last new pillows in USA as it was the only place you could buy Superking at the time. You can get them here now I bought new pillows, pillowcases and best of all........ a Tempur mattress topper. When I opened the topper, I was a bit disappointed - it was 4" too small all round. You have to leave it for 12 hours to expand. I remade the bed at 11pm, when it had had 11 hours and it was fine. I was woken by the Lumie alarm light - I never sleep through to the alarm and usually get up in the dark. I didn't have any of my usual aches and pains - which I'd put down to getting older I'm just waiting for the lambs fleece mattress topper to be delivered now - they're supposed to be OK with hot flushes!. The bed will look like the bed in the Princess and the Pea........ but I don't care!!!! I just had to share - I am so happy....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Man Banned Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 That's good news Lesley! Nothing like a good nights sleep is there A xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 A lambs fleece topper on top of the Tempura Mattress topper? You will need a ladder to get into bed. Are you sure you won't be too hot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 The bed will look like the bed in the Princess and the Pea........ but I don't care!!!! sounds great Lesley, its great after not sleeping well that you can find a solution isnt it We have a tempur mattress (was gift from inlaws last xmas) and I never want to get out of bed. happy sleeping!

Lesley Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 (edited) Are you sure you won't be too hot? No - that's the beauty of the lambswool. I'm going to change the duvets to natural wool ones as well. I'm fed up with being either freezing.... or too hot. I want to be cosy but not hot and sickly. I had a lovely chat with the chap selling the natural wool products!!! Edited June 23, 2008 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 We have a tempur mattress (was gift from inlaws last xmas) and I never want to get out of bed. happy sleeping! We couldn't afford a whole Tempur mattress in Superking! - and Carl doesn't like a soft mattress. We have two zipped mattresses - his is a hard mattress and mine is medium. The mattress topper over the two seemed a good compromise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 I've thought about going back to blankets. I absolutely hate changing duvet covers! Plus...you can add or remove one as necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 ..... and they're probably wool? We have a single duvet each- the best option on a Superking I think. I don't mind sorting out single duvets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 I like a hard mattress, but could generally sleep on a clothes line. It sounds really comfy Lesley. I'm not keen on king sized beds though - I generally sleep on my own, so double is enough for me to sprawl out, if Phil shares a king sized bed with me, I miss him in the night . A friend in the states bought some of those memory foam pillows - they were a real disappointment.... see here; The Pillow Weirdness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 Really strange pillows! I didn't fancy memory foem pillows and I don't have feather.... I chose synthetic hollowfill fibre - they smell like fish! I think the smell is going though i was so pleased that all my order turned up when it should that I whipped the old pillows off the bed - put the new black pillowcases on that I'd chosen for their new job - and gave the pillows to Jazz as a new bed for her - I wasn't having them back after that!!!

Blackrocksrock Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 We bought New Zealand wool duvets 2 years ago for our bed and I bought a new one last year for one of the spare beds - they are great - too warm in the summer but wonderful just now and heavy enough but not too heavy. I bought the pillows too!. NZ Nature company and the last one came in 9 days! - better than marks and spencers sale stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 When I bought my last bed I wanted a Tempur mattres, OH said NO. So now he's not around and I don't have one. Teach me to listen to a man. Mum has one and I love it. I only ever have a single Dunlopillo. I also take it everywhere I go to sleep - you always get a good nights sleep on your own pillow.

Mrs Frugal Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 (edited) I've thought about going back to blankets. I absolutely hate changing duvet covers!. So do I so we don't have duvet covers on our duvet anymore. We have a bottom sheet, top sheet, duvet and a patchwork bedspread. Only the sheets and pillowcases need changing. I bought 2 bedspreads and rotate them regularly so they get washed. Love the sound of the Tempur mattress. I do love a nice comfy bed and hate getting up in the morning.

Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 I saw those memory pillows today - can't remember where . Must have been Matalan, Argos or Sainsburys . I just don't like the thought of something with a memory under my head at night - some of my dreams don't bear repeating (especially to OH ). My parents have got tempur mattresses and the fleecy top things. They really like them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 We've got a tempur mattress, and memory phone pillows, and I love them - I've never slept better! I love those pillows Shona! You sleep really well and they do call you back! I bought a feather bed mattress topper from qvc and it is lovely! A bit of a faff to make and tbh i don't fluff it everyday, but it is really comfy! Goose and duck down feather pillows cost us a fortune, but after sleeping on 'value' pillows for years, i would never go back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 I only ever have a single Dunlopillo. I also take it everywhere I go to sleep - you always get a good nights sleep on your own pillow. I've never come across anyone else as odd as me! I have a Dunlopillo pillow (replaced every year!) and I take it with me whenever I go away. My neck can't sleep on anything else or I wake up feeling ill and migrainey. My mother has a Tempur mattress and is thrilled with it. We have a Dunlopillo mattress and asked for a firm one, which was a mistake as it was too hard. Now we have a 5'' deep memory foam topper and it is bliss, so comfortable.

chelsea Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 I bought a feather bed mattress topper from qvc and it is lovely! my mum also bought a northern nights one from qvc just before christmas - she loves it. I would have one if I didnt have the squishy mattress - they look sooo dreamy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 I use a quilted mattress topper over the top of the feather bed and then a sheet on top. I found that without the topper, feathers would stick through and jab me in my "oops, word removed" I love Northern Nights stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 We bought a new bed last year & had to get a new mattress,so decided on a memory foam one. It was really skinny when it arrived,but puffed up beautifully, & is really,really comfy - I would certainly recommend them. We have a M&S topper on it which is a cool comfort one,as we both hate being too warm in bed. The Duvet will be replaced this year, so I am reading this with interest to see what everyone thinks is best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted January 6, 2008 Author Share Posted January 6, 2008 I'll be getting these The man I spoke to from this company is so helpful. The merino topper is due to come from them on Friday........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackrocksrock Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Not very good at links but these are cheaper and wonderful http://www.nznature.co.nz/mshop:sp:1812807075:zo=5,cu=GBP,IT=OV Need to go to bedding and then comforters/duvets - I bought the heavier weight one and its awesome. Is only about £79,00 I think including postage - the first one I had to pay about £13 customs and the second one nothing. Remember though that their queen size is our King size.
