Personal recommendations matter, especially when they come from someone you really trust.<\/p>\n

Josie and Charlie had plenty of decisions to make when they started to renovate the Grade II listed, 14th century rectory that would become their home but choosing which mattress to buy was one of the easy ones. This was thanks to Charlie\u2019s dad, who had a unique perspective to share on the subject of daily spending. Charlie laughed and said, \u201cHe\u2019s always had this classic saying, which has been drummed into me from quite an early age, which was, that the best two investments you\u2019ll ever make, are your shoes and your mattress \u2014 because you spend half your life in both!\u201d<\/p>\n

How Josie and Charlie made Vispring a relocation priority<\/h4>\n
\"\"

\u201cDad had always impressed on me how important it was to make sure you were sleeping on a good mattress. But I\u2019m ashamed to admit that at first, I ignored him.<\/p><\/div>\n

Generally speaking, listening to our parents isn\u2019t something we do until we\u2019re older, when maturity kicks in and helps us make sense of the wisdom they shared. The suggestion of spending sensibly on a bed was something the couple both agreed on, after having the opportunity to road test a Vispring at Charlie\u2019s parents house. Reflecting back, Charlie mentioned how thankful he was for the advice, \u201cDad had always impressed on me how important it was to make sure you were sleeping on a good mattress. But I\u2019m ashamed to admit that at first, I ignored him.<\/p>\n

THE BEST TWO INVESTMENTS YOU\u2019LL EVER MAKE, ARE YOUR SHOES AND YOUR MATTRESS \u2014 BECAUSE YOU SPEND HALF YOUR LIFE IN BOTH!<\/p>\n

Experience with the Vispring bed<\/h4>\n

When Josie and I bought our first bed, we spent quite a lot of money on the bed frame, and not so much on the mattress. Even from the start, it was never right. It was too firm. But it\u2019s funny, because I bet if we did a survey, you\u2019d find that most people would do the same \u2014 spend on the wrong thing. This attitude comes from a lack of understanding I think, about how important sleep is to our mental and physical wellbeing. I think also, there\u2019s so little information out there that clearly sets out just how different a mattress can be \u2014 and what the scale of those subtle differences are, whether that\u2019s the spring tension, the fillings, or even whether one side of the bed can be firmer or softer than the other.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“That\u00a0experience cemented the theory that it was money well spent “<\/p><\/div>\n

Josie added, \u201cWhen we first moved into the new house, we were sleeping on an airbed, which was so incredibly uncomfortable. Then when the Vispring mattress was delivered and we slept on it in our master bedroom for the first time\u2026 it was like a scene from an advert or a film when we woke up! Neither of us could quite believe what a good night\u2019s sleep we\u2019d had. We\u2019d been counting down the days until it arrived. That experience cemented the theory that it was money well spent \u2014 it couldn\u2019t be further from the cheaper options you see advertised everywhere, that arrive 24 hours after you\u2019ve ordered, rolled up in a box.<\/p>\n

The convenience and quick turnaround of these mattresses is the main reason for their popularity, especially for our generation. I suppose most younger people start off with the more affordable version of something; whether that\u2019s a coffee machine, a car, or a toaster. But once you realise how much of an impact they have on your day, you can begin to appreciate the finer things in life and understand that it\u2019s better to invest in better quality products that will really make a difference.\u201d<\/p>\n

WE\u2019D GO TO THOSE LOVELY HOTELS TO TREAT OURSELVES TO THE ULTIMATE PAMPERING EXPERIENCE, WHEREAS NOW, WE HAVE THAT FEELING EVERY DAY AT HOME.<\/p>\n

\"\"

“We\u2019d go to those lovely hotels to treat ourselves to the ultimate pampering experience, whereas now, we have that feeling every day at home.”<\/p><\/div>\n

Decamping from the vibrant buzz of Clapham in south London, to the picturesque and peaceful Cotswolds was a big step for the couple. The renovation project has been documented from the start on their dedicated @oldhouseourhome Instagram page, which shows the trials and tribulations of overhauling a period property. The endless scroll of inspiration has transformed the interiors industry, allowing individuals to share their own homes and refurbishment experiences.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Beds are an area that Josie had been particularly interested in and she explained, \u201cWith beds, you rarely get the chance to actually sleep on one to try it out before you commit to buy. But interestingly, I saw something on Instagram the other day with a couple who were staying in a hotel and said they\u2019d had such a restful night\u2019s sleep. They decided to strip the bedding off to see what brand the mattress was and made the point that, with cars you get to test drive. With a bed, you awkwardly lie on one for 2 minutes in a showroom full of people and pretend to be asleep.\u201d Charlie agreed and sighed, \u201cI honestly fear that now that our new bed and mattress are so lovely, we\u2019re going to have the opposite feeling when we go to nice hotels, because we can\u2019t pack our Vispring up and take it with us.\u201d A sentiment echoed by Josie, who smiled and said, \u201cWe\u2019d go to those lovely hotels to treat ourselves to the ultimate pampering experience, whereas now, we have that feeling every day at home.\u201d<\/p>\n
