how long did it take to adapt to thai mattress

[opalred]

when i came 14years ago all places had hard straw mattress

i was recovering from a broken back many sleepless nights

after 3 months got use to it and had good sleeps

when went back to oz and sleep on soft falang mattress

sore back and sleepless nights glad to get back to hard mattress

now for years sleep on 3quarter hard mattress and always sleep like baby

drove to cambodia first 3 nights on road places had hard rubber mattress

no sleep sore back

the wife thai loves the rock hard mattress and

like all thais will sleep on any hard floor

were we born soft and weak in frangland

I'm very sure your wife would very quickly adapt to the top of the range us$5000 mattress if you gave her the opportunity..

So those things are mattresses?

And here all this time I thought they were some kind of medieval torture device.

What was the question again?

[Nomad97]

One night was long enough to convince me that my body was not compatible with a coconut husk Thai mattress. I vowed there and then never again and didn't.

[pgrahmm]

As long as it took me to shop for & buy a decent mattress.....

Floors are more comfortable than most of those Thai mattresses - notice you never find them in hotels either ....

Update on your mattress Giddy?

[TommyTucker]

Depends whether you are on top, or on the bottom [emoji41]

in 10+ years never did, so went to Sunderland mattress 80% discount Sale Warehouse, now for over 1 year have top of the range pocket sprung.. even my Thai partner after a couple of days said it was so much better.

So never did adapt to a Thai rock hard mattress.

From not liking hard mattresses to being born soft and weak is quite a jump.

There have been comfortable mattresses here in Thailand for as long as I can remember and that goes back 40 years here. They do grow up mostly sleeping on mats on the floor and that is what they are used to...

3 latex toppers on top make them useable.

Two weeks here and I was miserable and bought a memory foam topper but only covered half a queen size mattress. Very comfortable! Now get this, I felt it wasn't fair to wife so I bought a MF topper that fit entire queen mattress one week and wife bought a coconut husk topper she put on top of MF and she has used that since,I gave up

i will add they are better here than japan

i was there a few times years ago

they had straw mattress on the floor and rice filled pillows

also to go to toilet had to put legs up the wall

then i could see why they all go to sleep as soon as they get on a train

the only sleep they get

happy dreams or nightmares to you all

Absolutely hard mattress everytime. Been on a few weekend breaks where the hotels had the soft springy things and it take a few days for my back to get back to normal. Neck and back problems from being a member of the two wheeled flying club.

When I came here nearly 10 years ago, not one place I visited had "straw" mattresses

You probably paid more than 99 baht per night though

i expected by now a comment what was the best for hanky panky

[sawadee1947]

You can buy proper latex mats everywhere. Hard or soft or all between. Even in Oz! Amazing that you don't know

[opalred]

i had a water bed in oz for 30yrs

when they first came out took time to master it

as later yrs had good baffles in them and with a heater was a dream

asked wife about getting one

she laught at me

never heard about them and was a crazy idea

i gave up years ago after trying to explain santa claus
