Re: Mattress - how much would you spend?
Good question. I think not though, I think the latex mattresses are an early hybrid of the Memory foam, which I think Nasa developed some years ago! How I know this is both a mystery, and also very sad! .

Re: Mattress - how much would you spend?
Mr PP and I are looking to buy a new mattress, the one we have is awful, well its OK for him but I wake up with backache - everything aching to be honest and I never realised how the wrong mattress can have such an effect on your back.
Ive seen those memory foam ones going for $1200, but Im not sure if that is a good price or not.
How much would you spend on a mattress, would it be something you would invest in?
If anyone has any recommendations of good bed shops in Perth that would be very nice.
I have a memory foam pillow that I bought in the UK, I have never even sat on a memory foam mattress but I have heard they are good.

Hi PP, long time no speak
OH & I splashed out on a new bed when we got together...I wouldn't like to say how old & knackered our separate mattresses were....
Anyway, we really splashed out - we got one of those 3,500 pocket spring mattresses, with 5 inches of memory foam on top...it cost us £2000 but honestly, it's been worth every penny. Even the girls get into bed with us coz it's super-king & they love it too.
I would definitely say, spend as much as you can afford coz your back is precious & a good night's sleep is priceless!

Re: Mattress - how much would you spend?
Don't normally get too excited about 'domestics' but we bought a new mattress when we arrived 7 years ago and it was too cheap.
We spent $1200 (down from $1400) last year and the mattress is a lot better. Thicker, harder, with a soft strip along the top.
I can believe though why people would spend several thousand up. It's important!

Memory foam's great for nookie. The knees dig in firmly so you get a better purchase.

Dig the knees in and you can bang the shit out of each other with minimal resistance, unlike a squeaky old mattress that is a constant battle..
WOOP!
