I love my bed. So much so that when I lost it in my divorce settlement 16 years ago I paid my ex-wife to allow me to continue my relationship with it. I couldn't see me ever being parted from it. Imagine my shock and horror when the new love of my life gently but firmly informed me that a mattress is not for life but only for about 6 years. So began my quest for a new partner for my divan base and I travelled the path that so many others have trodden before me.
The Hypnia Double Size Visco Memory Foam 10 Inch Mattress sounded too good to be true. A visit to the nearest bed shop confirmed that it was stunning value. I took the plunge.
Only 24 hours after pressing the confirm purchase button I was staring at a white, cigar shaped tube that could not possibly be a mattress. I set it free and watched it grow. An hour later I had misgivings. My 10 inch mattress was only 8 inches deep. Had I been fooled? Hourly checks with the tape measure provided reassuring evidence that my new best friend was growing on me until I was truly spoiled by having the promised 10 inches. Okay, so there was that odd odour that doesn't occur in nature but another day later we were ready to begin our relationship in earnest.
That was 2 months ago. Long enough for me to offer the following observations:
The mattress is very comfortable and I feel like every inch of my body is being supported, dare I say caressed.
It is a lot lighter in weight than its heavily sprung predecessor so tends to move more easily if you knock it accidentally.
It seems to generate heat. At times I've been convinced the radiator was still on. So warm that I haven't switched to my winter duvet.
The rave reviews are indeed true and my sleep has improved.
It is excellent value for money.
And last and most importantly - over the past 10 years or so I have suffered from intermittent back problems. I now seriously believe that these were due to not changing my mattress earlier. Not only has my back been pain free but I have also noticed far less of those annoying aches and pains that I assumed were par for the course for a bloke in his early 50's.
What else can I say - Oh yes, those free pillows have been thrown in the wardrobe. Too small and not pillowy enough for me. As for the mattress - I look forward to the next 5 years and 10 months of our relationship.
