Getting a good night’s sleep

11 October 2007, by Heavens Paradox

Everyone knows that a good night’s sleep is important - but is it really worth it to shell out so much on a mattress? I was shocked when I checked out the ‘deals’ available on a new mattress!

I finally had to admit that my old mattress had had it. I couldn’t find a comfotable position to sleep in, and it had been getting steadily worse for the past year or so. So off I went to get a new one, thinking my ¬£200 would get me back to enjoying comfortable nights again.

I soon found out that while it is possible to get a mattress for that on the highstreet - you’ll be regretting it only a year or two down the line. Once you get to the ¬£400 level though you can expect to enjoy your mattress for 10 years or more. However, I wasn’t quite willing to give up on my dreams of a comfy bed. Having checked out the various high street stores, and decided what type of mattress I wanted, and the rating I preferred I went online.

I soon found it is possible to get significant discounts by using an online retailer. Of course - you’re also taking a risk as you can’t try before you buy. With a ¬£150 saving compared to a high street retailer though I bought my mattress from mattresnextday. Free delivery and a mattress protector included as well. I’m now enjoying my bed again and look forward to keep doing so for many years!
