Out for a stroll along the beach with the missus who had just done a 7 till 2pm shift at work while i cleared up after the family Christmas yesterday when we had all the kids and partners fiancees together.
We had the mutt with us who we thought was dying just before xmas as he was in a bad way but today he was running about in the sand with a wagging tail. He managed to run away from Sam to try and catch up with me
Finally got a photo of both my future daughter in laws together who are both expecting their first in the New Year 3 weeks apart. Going to be a busy year
Contemplating sending my Emma Premium mattress back under the 200 night guarantee.
I've given it almost three months.
Last night I kipped on the mattress we had three mattresses ago (which is now the spare bed at the inlaws) and had a much better nights sleep than in my own bed.
The Emma is crazy firm, it's like laying on scaffold planks.
There's a million reviews that say otherwise, so I'm not sure if it's just us

Is it upside down? Some of these things are only meant to be used on one side IYSWIM.
Did the first First Tracks this morning. Freaking awesome! A mate came for the first time and now totally understands why I rave about it. Obviously my nephews first time. I bloody love it. Top of the mountain for sun rise without having to walk all the way up there
Waiting to go up in the lift -
Top of the mountain -
Me and the boy
First stop on the way down - only a little way off the top, but a fab view of the valley and Mont Blanc -
Actual sunrise -
Life is for living. Buy the shoes. Eat the cake. Ride the bikes. Just, ride the bikes!!

All the reviews say the 'premium' is softer than the standard.
Their website says the opposite, premium slightly firmer (6.5 Vs 5/10)
All Emma mattresses lie in the medium firmness range to ensure correct spinal alignment and support. On a scale from 1 (soft) to 10 (firm), the Emma Original is a 5 (medium) mattress.
Our Emma mattress is one of the best things I've ever bought. We got a normal one first, but it was too soft for us, so we gave that to our daughter. i then got the medium firm one and it is, or was, Heaven! Without a doubt the most comfortable nights sleep I've ever had. I'm a fidget arse and moving around on a coil sprung mattress would launch my wife, but we get none of that on the Emma.
Downside. The memory foam has amnesia. After a while it doesn't return to where it started, and you can feel a ridge between the pair of you. But even then i am still more comfortable on it than any other bed i use in hotels etc.

Have to say, I can't fault IKEA as far as mattresses go. We've got the firmest kind they have with the extra 'topper' bit which is sorta 25mm thick. The combination of the two strikes the perfect balance of "bony bits don't get poked" and "don't sink into a marshmallow" IMO.
Spectacularly cheaper than Emma, Tempur (sic) et al too.
