Memory Foam Mattress

[Xtype]

Hi all,

Im looking at what memory foam mattress to buy? as they seem to vary on price so much! my current mattress is causing me to wake up aching, Ive never really found it that comfatble as its quite firm. It is a good quality mattress tho.

Errrrr, what was I going to say, no, it's gone....

We shopped around and got a very good price on the Tempur top of the range model (Supreme?). It's bloody comfortable, but it is quite warm to sleep on. It takes some getting used how efficiently it retains heat. We now use the summer duvet for a lot of the year as a result.

If you get one make sure that you get one with a "cool" cover (cannot remember the proper name but it makes the world of difference).

My partner had one when we first met at her parents and whenever we stayed i would wake up feeling sick and seriously overheating which put me off them for a longtime but we bought a slightly cheaper make with a cool cover and it is fantastic with no more back pain or overheating.

go try some

Wasn't convinced, as I like a solid mattress, so just got a topper from Asda (£40-50 I think?) more impressed than I thought I would be - maybe worth a shout if your current mattress is still in good shape?

We can get you a sleepshaper with the cool cover if you want one of those.

I had a memory foam mattress. I felt like I was embedded into it and it was hot in the summer. I also found it more difficult to roll over and my wife got sore elbows.

I went for a properly sprung bed and that's really good. Maybe the upper end memory foam mattresses are better but they're very expensive.

We've finally got rid of our memory foam mattress and replaced it with a normal one, absolutely bloody terrible it was and a total waste of money. Mainly sponge with a couple of inches of memory foam on top, no support.

Interesting thread. We have been looking at a 27 cm Delux Tempur, but I am a little worried in shelling out a wedge on something that might be unsuitable due to overheating, etc.

If your willing to spend four figures then look at some of the multi density tempur ones.
If not don't bother with cheaper memeroy foam ones they are a wast of money and buy a decent pock sprung one instead.

I've got a cheapy Ikea memory foam bed which has done me well for 4yrs but is now starting to sag.

Previous OH had a tempur mattress and I found it uncomfortably warm, TBH.

I 100% agree with the heat comments, they do tend to keep you hot all the time, the cool covers work to a extent but you tend to still stay warm. oh andas for the memory foam pillows just don't unless you want to wake up with one side of your face covered in sweat and a general uncomfortable feeling.

[carreauchompeur]

I'm glad other people agree re the heat, I thought I was going mad Glad it was the cheating harlot bh ex who spent £500 on it rather than me

[hedgefinder]

they do take quite a long time to get used to, we hated ours for the first 2 weeks, that was 4 yera ago - love it now..

Missus bought a memory foam topper for our bed.
I like the mattress and love the pilllows.

I suffer with back problems have for years. I bought a 3" topper to put on top of my mattress, after a couple of weeks my back & most joints were aching way more than with my mattress on its own.
I now have my topper under my mattress between the bed base this makes my bed more comfortable now as the original mattress has more 'give' in it that without. Hey ho

We went for a kaymed gel mattress. Its a sprung matress, with a memory foam/gel top. Cool and comfortable (cost 1k just for the mattress!)

Definately buy from a reputable manufacturer. and above all else try any mattress in a shop before you buy. We tried loads before we settled on the kaymed.

Also look to spend the same sort of money on a bed, as you would on a sofa. If you bought a £299 sofa from argos you would expect it to be crap. Sames goes for a mattress.

I used to have a memory foam mattress but I can't remember what happened to it.
