A mundane one, sorry girls:

Can anyone recommend sheets that will take lots of washing at high temps? Is highest thread count the one to go for, or a poly blend?

For watersports, can anyone recommend a completely waterproof mattress protector or shall I resign myself to peeing all over the kitchen floor?

I'm also changing my bed (mine broke!). I don't want to spend too much as I'm saving right now, and it's also our own bed and therefore there will be no tax breaks. Shall I risk one of the pricier IKEA divans with guarantee or go for a bed frame? What will take lots of bouncing? I'm quite an aggressive f*cker during my recreational sex 

+1 on the watersports - I did once buy one of those protective waterproof fitted sheets but you've still got to get from there to the shower afterwards, so unless you want it going everywhere I'd stick to the bathroom too.

I'm looking at beds on Ikea myself, so I'll be interested in other's experiences there. I'm too squeamish and too much of a germophobe to buy a secondhand one, as silly as it is .

I remember seeing a gizmo for watersports at Regulation in Islington. It was a bit like an inflatable paddling pool, but in black. You could place it somewhere not too far from the bathroom, so the pee-soaked client won't drip all over the place.

I'm far too tight fisted...instantly caught myself thinking about cheapo paddling pools and how I could DIY them to look sexier

I agree about the cotton - I don't like synthetic fibres at all and whilst I'm about as eco-friendly as it's possible to be in every other day-to-day sense, I like to boil work linens.

Am off for a root on Argos (and good tip about the wheels - I can't be the only person who's tumbled down the back of a hotel bed after failing to realise it's moved two feet from the wall ). That said, my current work bed is a cheapo pine one which cost ?100 and I just nailed the slats from my old bed to it to reinforce it - it's a bit wobbly, but it's done four years.

Don't buy a cheap divan because they are often crap
and tend to make a creaking noise after a while as they are very thin

Wooden beds with pine slats are good as you can repair them easily and strengthen them with a bit of wood and some nails

I have a waterbed in my home and when I used to take appointments shagging on that was fun/ interesting ( felt sea sick a few times)

But considering how much you can pay for a decent bed and mattress  ice seen mattress for like ?800 my water bed cost me ?1000 and I've had it almost 9 years and it's never leaked or broke or needed replacing and it's heated so bliss in the winter when it's cold

I don't think I've ever seen one! I'm intrigued. I might try to find a second hand sturdy oak/pine one then. I'm pretty handy so I'm confident I can reinforce it (and BFs dad used to be a chippy)

Waterbed does sound great, apart from the sea sickness bit. I occasionally get that from shagging on normal beds!!

For watersports I also use the bath but if you want good quality sheets that will take a lot of washing and still come out looking like they are just out of the packet and easy to iron too then you just cannot beat these ones. They are not cheap but Ive had mine for about 3 years now and there is not a single fray, the sheen is the same, they look amazing still?
