I thought I'd probably go for pocket sprung with memory foam layer (I'd also heard full foam can be too hot) but in the shop they had range that is supposed to have a better thermal design called Viscoool. I tried a "3" firmness and it felt much nicer than the sprung/foam equivalent. The only matress I preferred to it was a latex foam igel which is even better thermally but that was £300-400 more!


Put of interest how much was yours?

The ticket price was £879 but I don't know how that price reflects in the real world as it's from Bensons so (I think) only manufactured for them and probably marked up a bit for the 0% offer too. I looked on the manufacturers (Breasley) website and couldn't see it on there. We bought a frame and a new bed for Emily at the same time so got a good chunk of discount too.

I paid about £500 for mine which is a lot more than I spent before but then that was £15 years ago. I thought it might be a high price but maybe not :)

They're unbearably warm in hot weather, but fantastic the rest of the year.

We got new Formfit foam mattresses a month back, 140€ each (90x200cm, 2 for our bed and 2 for daughters new double bed). We saved around 400€ on the shop price for the order and they were the same hardness factor and manufacturer. Also delivered in 2 days, as opposed to waiting a week and having to collect.

When we replaced our bed a few years back we got a mattress that is a normal sprung one for approx 2/3 of the depth and a top layer (about 4” thick of memory foam. This means that its not to hot but still gives a really good comfortable sleep

We got our son a Sphero for his birthday and the cat is completely mesmerised by it - it's hilariously funny to watch.

Indeed, possibly something that would make your fortune if posted on an ad-supported youtube page :). Although sadly not the first - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_XGD3_dNYc

There has been so much cutlery lost in my lazy-ass sister's room that I bought one of Tesco's cheap sets for about £2. It'll do rightly. Certainly beats, 'OMJF, why aren't there any spoons?' when you've just made cereal.

The new pillow(s) I got were £8 and will also do nicely. *

* I went by the title which didn't mention there were actually two in the pack, meaning I now have a spare.

I remember one of my uni friends who (when we lived in selfcatering halls), would get a complete set of plastic/paper plates/cups/cutlery so he didn't have to do washing up.

My sister apparently hasn't got time to even put stuff in the sink... Christ, she hasn't even got time to put the lid back on the toothpaste I bought for myself because the other toothpaste had gone hard :x

Bought this Arkham Origins set, mostly for Deathstroke and Joker

Have to keep an eye on UK prices in the run-up to release though...
