It now dates back to March of this year when I gave my last feedback on our composite spring, visco elastic memory foam and gel bed.
So have I had a change of mind?
The answer is unfortunately (for me) no.
My wife continues to like this complex mattress, but I really dislike it. Earlier in the year I had a really bad cold that left me constantly having to blow my nose during the night. So I slept in a spare room on a £100 budget foam mattress that is as hard as rock.
When we originally got this cheap mattress, to see what foam was like, I found it intolerably hard. But after the kaymed gel ultra I managed three fantastic night’s sleep on it– even whilst suffering with a cold. I keep intending to have the odd night on it again, but it seems crazy when the other one cost more than seventeen times the price!
As for conclusions, my view remains the same as before. Beds and mattresses are as personal and subjective as the types of food that we like. What is heaven for one is hell for another. It is just a shame that my personal version of hell, one: cost so much money and two: is perceived as heaven by my wife.
The result is that she is none too keen to replace the Kaymed bed with a new one.
If you want to find out about the vast array of different bed types, mattress fillings and everything else concerned with beds try looking at beds in one of your local stores. If you are on the verge of buying a new bed (or mattress) do your research, look at all of the options, the way that different mattress types feel and wear and narrow things down. Next try things out, then look for offers on the internet where things are often cheaper. Then, go back to the retailer and see if they can equal or beat the internet price – most will.
Also see if there is a “returns policy” if you decide that you do not like the mattress. Some companies offer deals like a return within 3 months provided that you spend an equivalent amount of money (or more) with them on a different mattress.
