Thinking about what we do on our move to Spain will you report back on how it affects your sleep comfort.

We have seen them on our visits but wondered if they might be too hot for comfort. Kath suggests that we would be OK if we had two single beds but I am not sure about that solution.

Regards,

John.
We have a memory foam king size mattress. It is a lot hotter than a normal mattress, but it hasnt really bothered us throughout the summer and its great in winter.

Thanks for letting me know, went and bought my towels in primark they were reduced down to £3.00 each bath sheet, and guess what they were made in Madrid.

Strange that you have bought Spanish towels in UK....just goes to show what a small world it is and that Spain produces good quality goods.

I recommend Carrefour for towels and bedlinen - good quality - cheap prices, especially in the sales. El Corte Ingles is wonderful for towels if you want to spoil yourself! Remember Spanish duvet covers often don't fit on British duvets!
