mcfish Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 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.. Sent from my SC-01D using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fusion58 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 how long did it take to adapt to thai mattress So those things are mattresses? And here all this time I thought they were some kind of medieval torture device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nomad97 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgrahmm Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 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 .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ignis Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1FinickyOne Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrry Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 3 latex toppers on top make them useable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
augustwest Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
