And would you do the same to the mattress ?

bump
i'm looking for a good mattress too. anyone got advice
I bought a memory foam one when they were all the rage a couple of years ago. They are OK but the crap about never losing shape is bollox.
I've since moved it to the guest room and bought a 1600 pocket coil. Unbelievably comfortable. Anything over 1400 coil is considered top end but the higher no of coils you go the better and more expensive naturally.
Since you spend 1/3 of your life on it and as it affects your posture, muscle relaxation etc I'd go for the best you can afford.
Was thinking of a memory form, so no good then. I've a bad back, so what would recommend?

How much are you talking for these?
What's the best mattress to go for? I'm after a super king size.
What is the price range of a decent mattress and where is best place to buy them at reasonable price?
Decide on your budget. Then decide on whether you want a memory foam/latex etc mattress or the conventional mattress with pocket springs or for the hybrid with pocket springs and a built in foam topper. Remember that the material in the top layer of the bed can affect your sleep depending on how you react to heat while sleeping. the foam/latex top beds retain heat while the conventional material regulate the heat by absorbing it away from you. Latest thinking is that a bed is designed to you weight and you go for soft, medium or hard mattress the heavier you are but compromising with your bed partner who may be much lighter. the thinking is that the mattress supports all of you body to keep your spine straight.

Stay away from Dreams, Harvey Norman, etc. Recommend Alexanders in Markethill or Dalzells in Markethill (don't know why this small town is so good for beds).
I have a friend based in Dungannon who sells top quality mattresses at a good price and can deliver within 50 miles or so from there.
Give him a call and he will answer any questions you have.

It is a sleepy kind of place.
I have a memory foam one myself, it has never lost its shape in the 5 or so years I've had it. It's a bit firm for my liking though, hurts my shoulder when I lie on my side, so I'm looking at getting a softer one. It has to be memory foam because springs would transmit too much movement when I get up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom and I'd disturb the woman. With memory foam she doesn't feel a thing and doesn't get woken up.
I bought a top of the range Tempur memory foam last year. So far it has been brilliant. I had a bit of bother with the lower back and this has helped immensely. Highly recommend but are expensive.
