Hi Guys, Well done what a fantastic site!

I have dealt with the public for 23 years and yous are on the same views as me. Give genuine info. My wife and i have just purchased a new suite and are now looking at a new bed and mattress. And guess what?

It’s a mattress minefield. My wife is 9stone five-six. I am 15 stone and I am five foot eight tall. The boss doesn’t want a divan base and would like a leather bed frame, currently, we have a kingsize frame with a built-up mattress from ikea. It’s 8 years old and makes more noises than a haunted house!. I have three de-hidrated discs in my back and we do a lot of cruises. The best sleep we have had is on a carnival comfort bed. I wanted to buy the complete bed but wife says too much. We would consider 1- 1200 pounds. and for the record we arent at saga age yet with the cruises my wife is 44 and I am 49. I look forward to your reply and an indication of supply times. Regards Terry.
