Niall’s virtual diary archives – Thursday 26th June 2014

Thursday 26th June 2014: 8.24pm.

Our new mattress arrived this morning, and despite being in huge pain from a deep tissue massage for the RSI the preceding night I managed to get it upstairs. And here it is with a Clara attached! It certainly wasn't my first choice ... £199 or €275 delivered to Ireland, it's a British Bed Company 1000 pocket sprung medium tensioned mattress (http://www.mattressman.co.uk/mattresses/british-bed-company/anniversary-pocket-ortho-double-mattress.aspx) which the internet mattress geeks think is okay for the price. The British Bed Company is actually a technology startup believe it or not ... they've only been in business less than two years, so their five year no-stepdown warranty might be a stretch unless they are successful breaking into a very established market.

Anyway I haven't slept in it yet, but I will say it seems okay. It isn't firm enough for me personally, but Megan prefers a less firm mattress. Let's hoping it works out ...
