Need a new mattress (kingsize)our current one is really past its best and I'm getting a crap nights sleep most nights. Like most blokes unless it has an engine, wheels or wires I am useless with such matters

Keen on a memory foam as her indoors likes them plus I am Asthmatic, are any of these any good:

Then I heard about heat dissipation being an issue so is this any better:

I realise getting one online is a bit short sited, but there aren't any good bed shops near us, all are big chains that seem interested in sales rather than unbiased advice. Going to pop to Ikea tonight, but I gather they have a bad rep in regards to beds!

Any advice would be most welcome, cheers guys!

Brilliant cheers for all the advice !! Passed some of it on to some colleagues who are also looking at beds.

In the end yesterday after another horrid nights sleep I took a rash decision bought this online:

Along with a memory foam mattress topper from local shop for £80 with pillows

I know its cheap but for £100 for the mattress (free del) if its not up to the job then Ill make an effort to get a whole new bed and its not much lost!

Tried the memory foam topper last night on the old crap mattress and I can say most of what people said runs true. I'm glad I didnt get a whole foam mattress!! It does seem to insulate you, which generates heat, great in cold will be a pain in summer so will prbs not use then. DOes kind of support your whole body but isn't for everyone and after a few hours sleeping I did feel uncomfortable, the misses loves it tho! for £80 for a topper it seems worthwhile.
