Third sensible answer coming up..... agreeing with earlier suggestion...... get washable pillows that replump when you wash them. Job done!

Floor doesn't follow the natural shape of your spine - so no, not good. Feel dreadful in the morning too!

We have a pocket sprung mattress / divan with this mattress topper on top and it's absolutely heavenly. That said, I would really like a super kingsize bed (ours is now getting on for 12 years old and when you remove the topper you can see where the mattress sags a bit!). Haven't quite got my...

Memory foam is heat sensitive so it wouldn't do the memory foam any good.

I am allergic to cats. I did, however, grow up with a Russian blue as a pet. He was a lovely cat! My mum was always very good at trying to make sure there were as few cat hairs around the place as possible. I find they don't always make me sneeze so I can stroke a cat (although it isn't my...

I think duck pillows make great under-pillows as offer lots of support. But nothing beats laying your head on a lovely soft goose down pillow! I'd recommend these pillows from the fine bedding company.

Here's a green striped duvet cover. Not quite the same as the one you mention, but pretty close! I actually think this blue striped duvet cover is more fun though.

I'd take a neck support pillow - maybe something inflatable would be better to carry onto the plane (though not as supportive!). I hate the fact that I can't get comfortable when I try and sleep so this is what I would do if I was going to fly long-haul.

Right - that's done it - now it can't stop raining! My OH keeps going on about how we desperately need air-con (what for a couple of nights each year?!*!!? seems a bit excessive to me). Just ordered a cotton duvet from here and hoping that is going to help us sleep like babies through these...

Maybe spend the £80 on a firm mattress to act as a good base and then choose a mattress topper to suit your requirements. I'd recommend this mattress topper as lovely and soft and provides a really comfy night's sleep! I've heard that memory foam is a bit hot to sleep on/in!

Definitely get stuck in and live in the Uni accommodation.

Looks very nice. Like the kitchen - very smart. Many congratulations.

Maybe you should get a really good supportive firm mattress for your parents. We have a Relyon and that's pretty good. But don't older people like to sleep on lovely soft mattress toppers (like these) as nicer on their joints etc?

I know what you mean. Pretty disgusting to look at. I use these cotton pillow protectors to stop our pillows discolouring. I've never noticed the yellowing on our own duvet, but have done on our sons - but presumed that was from when he wets the bed!! I have to wash his duvet relatively frequently!

Depends on the brand really. Go with a brand you trust. I recently heard of a manufacturer selling duck down duvets as Hungarian down duvets!!! We have this Hungarian down duvet which does have a small percentage of feathers I believe (not that I can feel any feathers / quills or anything!!)...

Out of interest, was The Wire the best thing you have ever watched on TV? Loads of people have said this but I struggled through the first few episodes and then gave up.

Yep, I agree with Vesta Man, can't say it would cross my mind to buy an electric blanket. But have to admit I've never actually tried one, so maybe once you have - you never look back :confused:?? What you need is a nice warm, breathable down duvet, surely?! That way you'll be nice and warm...

Absolutely - she's a real star, really reliable and cleans our house and does the ironing for 3 hours every week - never misses. She has the keys and lets herself in if no-one around.
