woolybanana Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 I notice that UK mattress ads advise changing mattresses every 8 years whereas French ones recommend every 10 years. Any explanations for this or is it just greed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woolybanana Posted December 18, 2016 Author Share Posted December 18, 2016 Good reasons all: I wondered if it is because Brits let their dogs sleep on the bed with them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gluestick Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Well our experience with UK mattresses boasting ten year lives etc, is simply they don't!Last one we recently sent to the mattress recycling centre in the sky, was pretty damned expensive and a leading brand: not impressed...Just recently sported out on a very expensive new version, as both Mrs Gluey and I suffer minor back problems and increasing age-related stiffness.Takes about two weeks minimum to become used to it: Memory Foam thick topper built in; thus our beloved electric blanket for Winter is now history (Ruins the Memory Foam).[:(]Point of fact the topper warms up very quickly and it is the body heat which shapes it.Makes turning it round 180 degrees each week (must be done according to the maker's detailed instructions) a bit of a fag 'cos it damned heavy!
