However there was one thing that we felt needs addressing for future clients and that is the beds. The double bed was very uncomfortable. I think that the mattress needs replacing.it was very hard and was resting on a hard wooden plywood base which didn't help. My partner who has terminal cancer decided to use one of the single beds but that wasn't really much better. The mattress in the single bed also needs replacing and also rests on a wooden plywood base.
