Brings back the joys of sleeping.

Can't try before you buy, but the customer reviews on other sites were very informative. Test a Tempur and your there.

The Tempur beds are wonderfully alluring, dressed up beautifully in high end stores such as Selfridges. It's all very amusing testing them out as it's like sinking into a big stress toy. But considering I have rented flats since University and never bought my own bed, £1300 just for a standard sized mattress makes these slide on to the ultimate wish list. Not anymore.

After looking at new latex, memory foam or spring mattresses I made my mind up. Very quickly you will discover when researching Memory Foam mattresses online that all are far from equal. As of 2009 the prices for a double range from £210 up to the Tempur at £1300!!! Lots of different manufacturer's name, lots of technology babble. Getting to test a few in a showroom reveal that the lower end of the range feels just like a lump of foam to the high end providing really interesting firm support and comfort.

Enter Ergoflex. These folks are the only distributors of their own product and only sell online (you can order on the phone, but it takes slightly longer to process your order). The website is spot on, giving you all the specs and comparisons to Tempur mattresses (which come out about even). I liked the way they pride themselves on not selling Memory Foam top sheets (toppers) and they believe this is just a cheap gimmick. They really seem to be trying to beat Tempur at their own game.

Ok, so I meant to spend £200 on a new alright mattress. Ended up spending £410 on an Ergoflex double with two pillows and delivery. To me that is quite a lot. Did I get my money's worth? I think I got a real bargain. After testing it is indistinguishable from Tempur and offers a firm but plush nights sleep.

Ordering was easy enough. I also called as I really needed it the next day delivery. the operator sounded worried as it can be 48hrs, but took my name and I think it greased a few wheels in the background (great service). Mattress arrived 8:30am the next morning. Oh man, this thing is quite heavy. The mattress comes up quite large and I had to squeeze it a bit to get it in the frame, but now fits snugly. It expanded from packing in about 20/30 mins, but instructions say give it a few hours to really fill out. Yes there is a smell from the Ultra Fresh anti-bacterial coating (a little like freshly dried paint, not very strong), but this has gone now two days in. I've had a few great nights sleep on it and all in sundry have called round to sit on it and poke it to much amusement. Like everything in life that is well made, it has regulated my sleep much more, organized me a bit better and created a bit of wonder in the everyday things we do.

Sleep can be fun.
