It was about 2 inches thick.<br /><br />It wasn't a Tempur brand one and it wasn't a full mattress.<br /><br />There's no way our shop could do ebay, there isn't even internet in the shop!DeeDee Ramonahttp://actionreplay.livejournal.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34940564.post-60660504391733027432010-02-06T13:55:17.620+00:002010-02-06T13:55:17.620+00:00Lou: Thank you my darling, the thought makes much ...Lou: Thank you my darling, the thought makes much more of a positive difference than any product could x<br /><br />BenS: Hello and thank you! The begging comment was meant tongue in cheek as a way of describing how it feels to apply rather than my belief that it's 'begging'. Its not, but we're put in that position by MP's who can spend thousands of our cash on their irrelevant crap. The appeal info is very interesting thanks, I had no idea you could appeal a CCG decision! <br /><br />Lankylonglegs: Hello there and thanks for your comment. I've tried the proper tempur version for a week and OMG it's amazing! I thought the cheaper version might work as I don't weigh very much, but no such luck. Fingers crossed!<br /><br />DeeDeeRamona: Hello and thanks for delurking to comment, I love to know who's reading. Was it a proper Tempur topper? If so your poor charity shop, the branded ones sell for £800. Maybe ebay for such products? Although one of the local charity shops does that and it's caused all out war! I hope you'll say hi again :)BenefitScroungingScumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08939136229593231935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34940564.post-35164484261571392342010-02-05T18:11:30.249+00:002010-02-05T18:11:30.249+00:00I want to point out, the mattress topper was entir...I want to point out, the mattress topper was entirely unused and in its original packaging!
