Recently
me and my partner were surprised to find out that we were going to be blessed
with another child. When our first son was born, I remember very vividly how
much pain my back was in during and after his birth. We decided that we were
not going to go through all that pain again and decided a new mattress would be
the perfect way to help me ease through this pregnancy.
Our
current mattress is closing in on seven years old, and I think because it was
too firm, it was causing me significant discomfort in my muscles and joints.
During the last few months of being pregnant with Bug, I could barely lay down
let alone sleep on that mattress. So we decided that now was the time to search
for that new mattress.
I have to
admit I was a little overwhelmed when I started searching for mattresses
online. As my partner is off at work from sunrise to sunset it can be a real
challenge to shop with him for a new mattress. Since we knew the size of the
mattress, we only needed to find a similar mattress that was less firm than the
one we purchased several years ago. With the hours and the type job my partner
has it can be near impossible to get him to commit to time shopping for food,
let alone a brand new mattress. Also as we do not own a van or have family
close to us here to lend a hand, it was important that we found a mattress with
home delivery.
With the
new baby due in July and me watching our four year old son each day on my own,
I decided if I did not find a mattress now that I would easily put it off until
it was too late. So I searched a few websites in an effort to close the deal.
In addition to the confusing choice of websites promising low mattress prices,
I was also having trouble finding a company where I could get the mattress with
home delivery as many were either pick-up only or charged a huge fee for
delivery.
As the
choice was endless I decided to wait till that evening when I had the house to
myself to find the perfect online mattress retailer. A few hours later after
playing lots of games and climbing in his bed, Bug fell asleep and I got back on
my computer. I narrowed down my search this time by searching for a company
selling mattresses with nationwide home delivery so they could deliver here in
Pembrokeshire, Wales. I clicked on the first website which was Cutprice Mattresses and began my search.
The mattresses were all easily organized by
style, from the sprung mattress, the memory, foam, gel, and pocket spring
types. The pictures were all crystal clear, and the information about each was
in detail. The best was they were offering free next day delivery! I narrowed down my search to the standard
spring mattress that was softer than the one we currently own. I then chose my
delivery date, completed my purchase, and within minutes received my
confirmation information.
The entire
purchase process took me less than ten minutes, and I got the delivery date I
wanted. I chose a delivery date where my partner would be home so we could keep
Bug distracted while the delivery guys did their job. I chose this mattress
with a home delivery service because the website was the most organized and
streamlined of all the ones I visited. A few days later I got the call the
delivery team were going to arriving as scheduled. Of course my partner was
called to work that day, so I was left as I feared trying to keep Bug occupied
whilst trying to liaise with the delivery men. When they arrived, they were
extremely courteous, asking which room to put the new mattress. I explained I
couldn't remove the old mattress myself because of my condition but thankfully
they gladly lifted and removed the mattress for me, even taking the old
mattress away for me too!
The
delivery men were in the house less than 10 minutes, and Bug was on his best
behaviour the entire time. Once they had left me and Bug raced to my room to
put sheets on the new mattress before testing it out and thankfully it was more
comfortable than I could have ever imagined. The two of us took a nice nap on
the new mattress that afternoon, and I look forward to my peaceful night's
sleep every evening.
