Default Have you been on a Blanket or Bed Trip

A freind recently (unknowingly) went on a "Blanket trip" in Lanzarote () and wanted to know if anyone has bought the product / could advise if worth buying.

This "trip" where a tour operator offers a 'free' excursion which includes a presentation about beds and blankets !!!!

They are actually quite popular (free!) and offer various products made from Marino Sheep Wool. If the beds are any good I may like to buy one as I am fed up of my bed in Spain - hard as nails and came with the furniture pack. Any feedback welcome !

Well Google shows very little about them except people complaining that the free trip was just a sales pitch. Nothing about the goods. You dont say but is the mattress coming from a UK supplier because if not what about import duty etc as Lanzarote is outside the european economic zone.

As far as I know you pay for them in Lanzarote, Spain, Portugal in Euros. And they are delivered direct from the factory in Germany. I think this avoids the (now extortionate) VAT of the UK !!

I also Googled and found very little good/bad on these trips .. that's why I asked on here thinking there's bound to be some people on an Expat forum... how wrong am I... or maybe interest in very low on here these days!
