Lots of people pay lots of money to have the best matress in the world. Buy a crappy cheapy one and your back and hips will not like you.

Go for the best that you can afford. It may seem expensive now, but in five or ten years you will still be sleeping like a kitten.

I wouldn't go cheap ... but frankly I don't think you need to spend a fortune either.

The one I have now which is still super comfortable after 10 years was about 25K "promotion price" back then.

I'm still choosing between two choices at Index, both about 30K baht "promotion price."

One has made in USA pocket springs inside with a thin layer of foam on top, and one is all latex foam, no springs.

I have never bought a no spring bed but I'm leaning towards that one on the theory that the material in there is less likely to have "tropical" issues like happened with my current mattress.

Yes, it's firm, but I like firm and my current mattress is firm so I should be able to handle it.

Heaven forbid we should cry 'now, back on topic'

[Jip99]

What about 'toppers' to go on my existing (firm) mattress - any recommendations ?

[David48]

Back on topic ...

Well both Costas and I have been 'becalmed'.

No idea about Nancy.

Jingthing is sailing along and has the spinnaker up, but he worries about an impending storm and wave front that could arrive tomorrow.

Currently his Crew is preparing the Storm Sails.

Actually, ten years isn't an especially short life span for a mattress here, considering the heat and humidity. I doubt you keep the bedroom aircon running 24/7

[WhamBam]

where the whambam and david48?

all quiet for them.. before they always together here like friends.

Maybe nows they paint together for the room

I was spending quality time split between my g/f and the football.

There IS life outside of ThaiVisa

But you not paint for the room? I think nice blue colour - boy paint is blue no, pink girl.

I see twins once nakkid, boy . not girl.

Blue paint. good. for the room. Big strong blue for the room.

Sishe im starting to sound like a rather bob marley fan. put da instead of the.

The only painting I do here in Thailand, Patsycat, is painting the town red.

Now the, if you want to talk of painting rooms and colours, you need to talk to David48 who is painting the room(s) for the kids.

Not that I think you might have had a beer or two patsy to think it is me doing the painting......

[harrry]

Where is it written that the POTY has to have a working knowledge of every forum on Thai Visa? There's something like 98 forums.

Yes.....It is not the good person of Chaingmai Award. It is the POTY of the ThaiVisa Forum

You got it right.

I've got sea breezes, an overhead fan, and I hardly run the aircon all.

I know some people will think it is out of thrift.

Thrifty is nifty but I decided when I moved here to try out acclimatizing myself and it worked brilliantly.

Of course, at movie theaters I'm freezing.

[neverdie]

Vote Patsycat P.O.T.Y. 2015 !

Booyah !

Just goin' with the flowin' my dudes and dudesses as others have gone all "folksy" with their true home stories of derring-do ...

click me if you dare

Now what I'd really love to see now is grand satire master COSTAS take on my "Shopping For Mattresses" post and do the Full Monty Lampooning job on it like he likes to do.

I can't speak for others desire to be lampooned by such a true artiste we are privileged to have in our midst though, but speaking for myself I consider it as a high form of FLATTERY.

More, COSTAS, I want more!

Luv ya Costas! The member with the Mostas.

[Mossfinn]

Shopping Trolleys & Elevating Staircases spring to mind

Well it is off to the Hobbit with two precocious 7 year olds, it will need more than a Mithril Dwarf Coat to keep me safe!

And remember, whatever mattress you buy, the bed you make is the one you have to lie in.

Reminds me of my old Grandpa addressing me when my long hippie hair was down to my ass comparing me to his other grandkids with the snazzy internships:

Good luck.

You're gonna need it!

Apparently, it is the best of the three.

Ikea Jip-excellent mattress toppers, and unlike 99% of stuff you can buy in Ikea, requires no assembly.

Actually, I have not bought it yet.

I've narrowed it down to two or possibly three choices from Index Living Mall.

Their "promotion" is good through January so no pressure!

[Patsycat]

Early for me.

When it is 1am here it is nice morning with you.

I was told latex topped mattresses and pillows are not good because they soak up oils and body sweat*

Mattress guy told me this when we got a new one a few months back.

(*sorry for putting you off dinner)

I'm leaning towards the one without a foam layer but 100 percent latex foam with a bamboo fabric encasement. Also will top with a "protector" so not really too worried. Condom for the mattress, as it were.

Ya we have to have a mattress protector.

I got so drunk one time I pissed the bed.

Yeah Jingthings old mattress was new when this started!

[David48]

Your name was suggested ... a few of your OP's were perused.

There was a little schoolboy sniggering heard in the Library.

The Headmaster yelled ... NEXT.

Thus, consideration of the ultimate weapon a genuine POTY was sunk before it was launched.
