HELP NEEDED PLEASE!!

[scruffbag]

We need a new bed, as our mattress has completely gone. My husband says it is fine, and does not need changing. What can I do to get my husband to agree with me, that we do need a new bed/or mattress?!!!!
I am open to any good ideas, from my answerbank friends! Many thanks for your help in advance.

Tell him you're not sleeping well and are concerned about the long term effect on your health?

[scruffbag]

I have done that!

[tonyav]

Make him sleep your side of the bed for a night, and see if he wakes up with aches and pains.

[boxtops]

drag him along to a bed shop to see what a decent mattress feels like

[murraymints]

drag it into the garden and set fire to it !! that should convince him you need a new one !! lol

[boxtops]

.... have an accident (not a nice thing to do) or get a small child to vomit....

[boxtops]

... set fire to it in the bedroom..... cut your bit off and buy a new single.

Joking apart - why don't you just order one, why do you have to wait for him to say so?

[vodkancoke]

Just order one, have it delivered while he is out at work and act surprised if he mentions it "What this old thing? I've had this for ages!" ;)

[anneasquith]

just go and purchase a new bed.

[boxtops]

sleep on the floor until he agrees (if it's that important that he agrees)

Sabotage the mattress so it helps a spring poke through - on HIS side of the bed of course ! :)

I just want to do it in a peaceful way. Thanks for all your answers.xx

tell him no fun until a new bed is in situ....x

We all know you are a strong woman , but tears are a time testwd way to get what you want ( even better if you never cry) tell him you cant sleep its so uncomfortable and that you are exhausted and at your wits end through lack of sleep etc. Say you are going to the bed shop on xday will he come with you or will you just choose one by yourself. Goodluck x

Could you perhaps say how lovely it would be to have one of those beds which recline and decline so reading or watching TV would be so much nicer?

[beso]

Get a new bed for you and let him sleep in the old one.

[puddle-duck]

Just go and buy a new bed, put the old headboard on it & your husband probably won't even notice.

[Iluvspikey]

no new bed =no nookie!
or
Borrow chain saw, carve up old bed and mattress. Hubby will agree to new bed. Simples!

[NoMercy]

Gawd almighty, why not just go out and buy it and then tell him afterwards...
