New Mattresses

[granny grump]

Has anyone tried the mattresses that are supposed to be so good that they can cure all your aches and pains 'Emma' and 'Simba'. I'd be interested in anyone's opinion

We have one, I don't know the brand but it's great. Surprisingly heavy though.

As far as Emma is concerned, the mattresses might be OK but the latest bunch of views on Trustpilot suggest that the company's delivery and customer service are appalling:

Simba seems to do a bit better on Trustpilot:

I don't believe one mattress will be perfect for everyone from a 7 stone youngster to a 20+ stone oldster with joint problems. Personal preference also plays a large part in 'perfect mattress'.

It is important to check the weight and care recommendations, too, especially if you are likely to have difficulty turning a very heavy mattress regularly. I don't know how heavy these new fangled mattresses are.

I have a Simba and can truthfully say it is the best mattress I have ever had. The only " disadvantage " if you can call it that is that it has to be rotated - not turned - about once a month. And it is a deep mattress and would be difficult to rotate without help.
I have had no need of customer service so can't comment on that aspect

Thank you all for your help Definitely given me food for thought

Is it possible to see one in a shop and lie before you buy?

What are you going to lie about? Having the money to buy one?

I have got a Dormeo and it is very comfortable but heavy to turn. It did come rolled up in a plastic sleeve so was easier to get upstairs than an 'open' one.

Lie on the mattress, not tell porkies
