he didn't know how many sheets/blankets or which duvet to use on his side. Selfish to the exrtmee! Now it's not a problem - he sleeps in another room where his constant snoring and assosciated tossing and turning are his problem and not mine, but he does miss the warmth of the bed! TOUGH! I do actually love him so think very carefully about this one. Toppers for a mattress are only just o.k. but do you understand thebed-bug implication between mattresses, toppers and waterbeds ? By the way - if your Doctor advises you to have a firm/very firm mattress for your back - leave the practice a.s.a.p. The best beds for a bad back areeither a waterbed from the british waterbed company or a mattress from a business selling a Tempur topper.
