New business in Forest Hill - Mattresses

Nope. Not another Mattress 4 U with prices starting at £39.99. A proper high end hand made wood coil mattress. Noticed the sign going up earlier this week.

Down at the corner of Waldron Park Road and Sunderland on the South Circular. Appts only apparently.

Might need to talk to the sign maker about health and safety.

It’s an odd little row of shops there, nice to see some more interesting traders. This is the sort of business that people will travel to.

For instance the never open second hand shop (phone if you want hair tongs for a fiver) with all the plants outside. Seems they have an issue with thieves.

Back in the 90s one of the predecessors to the Sugar Mountain premises was a specialist bed shop and I lived in the flat upstairs with my wife and 2 young children.

Then, one nice summer evening at about 7pm, there was a huge crash and the whole building shook like it had been hit by an earthquake. So I ran out onto the flat roof terrace and looked down at the street below, expecting to see a lorry embedded (oops, pun!) in the shopfront. But no. There was a guy with a mattress on his head running up Derby Hill after putting the plate glass window through.

Ahh… Fond memories!

Perhaps he was fed up waiting for delivery and decided to take mattress into his own Hands?

And the best story on SE23.life evah!

And the worst joke on SE23.life evah

Do I get a Badge for That?

Too funny, I mattress (may stress) this thread should not be taken seriously unless you want to test the mattresses.

Happy to do but not on me head

Class!
