How much did you spend on your bed?

IIRC I paid £30 for my bed.

Paying £2K for a frame to put a mattress on is a bit silly unless you have so much spare money that £2K is a trivial amount.

Paying as much as you can afford for a mattress, yes. For a bed, no. Having said that, the best mattress I've had cost me about £80 from B&M. 8 inch thick memory foam. Gloriously comfortable and lasted years before getting too saggy. I've improvised by folding a memory foam topper lengthwise, putting it in the middle (where the sag is) and putting another topper over the combo, but I'm going to be getting a new mattress when I try one out that I like. The improvised measure is adequate, but it's only an interim measure. I'll stretch to £500 for a mattress, but only if I think it's worth that much to me.

It's the age old situation where the more you earn the more you spend, the higher your mortgage loan is, and the higher your tick balance is. At the end of the day you are no better off at the end of the month than someone on min wage.

Watching telly the other day and there was a program about building a cruise ship, Sliver seas, I think it was. Apparently the bed in the top suite cost over £120000.

Anybody bought an anti-snore pillow?
I need a new one anyway so thought I'd give one a go.

I have a smart system which worked by every time it heard you snore it inflated the pillow to prop your head up. this was enough to make the muscles tense but not enough to wake you.

it's okay but the best thing is to sleep on your side

We did buy a £130 metal frame bed, it looked very solid but sadly it moved a fair bit. Now have
Ikea GVARV Ottoman bed, it is great, no movement and a good storage solution

An embarrassing amount. I had cash then, and have chronic pain and a neck injury, so we did some research and got some recommendations from specialists.

I don't even want to remember how much, my neck feels better but my bumhole was sore for ages :D

We got ours about 5 years ago. £300 for a king size bedframe from somewhere online.
Mattress was about £1000 from John Ryan - dont know if theyve been mentioned but they are a fantastic mattress maker and reasonably priced. I think I came across them on a thread on here actually! Our mattress is so good - different tension springs on each side for me and the wife which is great. Never sleep so well when we go away, its annoying in some ways - used to enjoy going anywhere on holiday, need to shell out on nice places now or end up wishing I was in my own bed!
