Very reasonably priced.

I decided to buy this item as a spare and was pleased to see it came sealed in a nice cardboard packaging. I have not removed it yet.

If I don't use it myself, I can always give it to a family member or friend.

4.0 out of 5 stars Quite Sturdy, 27 Mar 2013
I recently bought this same merchandise elsewhere (costing considerably less) than advertised here.

Mine won't get used until October when a few relatives are expected to visit, but I've had a snooze on it anyway to try it out.

According to how heavy you are, it might sink a little in the middle in line with your weight and I found this tended to affect the overall comfort to an extent at least, for me anyway.

As a solution, I decided to cut up the strong cardboard packaging it came in retaining as much as possible of it then placing both large sheets together and making four spaced out holes along both sides, using two each side for tying the sheets together so as to create an extra thick base. I then used the remaining two holes each side to tie this base to the bed frame.

The mattress itself is on the soft side although not too uncomfortable so to improve things, I ordered a 2" thick sheet of cut-to-size stiff foam with a stockinette covering online costing about £58 incl postage, to place directly on top of the cardboard base and under the supplied mattress. Bingo, the sinking feeling is now gone. The spare foam and homemade base don't take up much space either when stored against the wall alongside the bed.

Talk about pampering your guests.

I am currently looking at some nice bed linen for 4ft beds.

I recently bought the 4ft version for my Jubilee fold-up bed. The cover is roomy. It's washable too. The material is polyproplene

The mattress is nice in appearance and about medium firm. The sides appear to have no padding, however.

It's for a top bunk bed for my 11 year old grandchild when the family comes over for holidays once a year. Accordingly, it shan't be getting much useage which is why I didn't feel the need to spend much on one in the first place.

Overall, it's worth the money if it's only intended for occasional use.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good tunes and suitably loud, 8 Feb 2013
I bought this item a while back which came with one chime instead of two.

The volume is adequately loud and the chime unit satisfactory except for the bell-push.

The rubber pad disintegrated within a year. Like another reviewer on here, I looked all over the Net and could not find a replacement
for this model. I covered it with sellotape downwards and across the pad which proved effective for quite a while then it stopped working altogether.

Bought a replacement battery, but this turned out not to be the cause of failure either, unfortunately. The bell-push just gave up after a couple of years.

Perhaps, using a thin film of blu-tac (white) over the finger pad and then covering with sellotape, is the best solution where the bell-push
is still working.

I haven't needed to use it yet so can't rate it.

I've used a SanDisk memory card in the past without any problems though.

4.0 out of 5 stars Useful learning tool, 31 Jan 2013
Amazon Verified Purchase(What is this?)
So far, I have covered just 2 discs and found them relaxing to learn by.

However, when you try to back the disc, at least on my computer, it tends to reverse way too far upon clicking on the single back arrow instead of just going back a sentence or two. Clicking lightly makes no difference either. You have to search for the sentence you wish to listen to over again which spoils your concentration and delays your progress somewhat. It would be helpful if the native speaker were to speak a little slower and immediately repeat the sentence every time.

Aside from the above niggles, I am pleased with my purchase which is reasonably priced and would recommend this course.
