    My Wife and I are looking into one, but at $2800 for a queen size I'd listen to any reviews.

    Thanks

    We were considering one about a year ago. Decided not to because of the high cost. Ended up paying almost that anyway for a lame "pillow-top" type bed. It sucks because of the pillow top, you can't flip the matress.

    Also intersted in some reviews...

    My dad has one. He got it because of a very bad shoulder that was keeping him from sleeping at all. He loves it, and it helps with the shoulder. Definitely not cheap, but definitely the best you can get.

    I've got a pillow made from the same material and its by far the best thing ever. Even all my friends want to use it and have one!

    My parents have one because my mum suffers from bad back problems and needs the softest thing possible and she says its amazing. My dad broke his neck a few years back and has now got to take it easy for the rest of his life - no more sport, can't drive for long distances etc and he says it does wonders for him, much better than their previous bed.

    WOW, for 2800 it's got to be comfy. I wonder, if you could get your insurance company to pick up the tab, if written as a prescription by your doctor.

    Thanks for the reviews people. I should mention that the dollars are Canadian. Still expensive though...

    Marty and Jesse had one and loved it. It was too big to bring back here to Chicago (King size), so they're settling for a foam mattress with tempur-pedic topping on it (I think the top 4-5 inches). You might want to look into one of those instead to save yourself a couple grand.

    A friend of mine’s husband died eight months ago….and he, had one of those pillow tops covers that have a 2 inch magnet on six inch centers, both ways…It fits on a queen beds length, but is only half the width………..I’ve been using it for six months, and I can’t remember the last night, that I didn’t see the whole night thru……….She thinks that it cost $900 dollars………..I google and found cheaper one’s for $345………..I got mine for free, but it works…………wobbles

    I slept on one of those one time. Unfortunately the guys at R.C. Willey didn't like me doing it. Dangit.

    The manufacturer is based here in Manchester. I used to sell these mattresses on adjustable bases to the disabled. We always sent them direct to Vitafoam and they would typically save between 50 - 75%.


    Might be worth checking with them. Also the major manufacturer of parts for adjustable beds is based in the US. you can buy the actions and drop them into a bed base.

    Voila, an adjustable bed with a pressure relief mattress for maybe £600 instead of £2 - 3,000.


    Sometimes you just have to hit these scumbags where they live, in their wallets, taking advantage of the worlds suckers is one thing but robbing those who have enough problems as it is, well there are no words
