Chickvic Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Does anyone have a memory foam mattress and are they any good? We are looking to buy one and would like some recommendations or warnings! Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Yes! I wouldn't be without mine now.......there was a long running thread called New Bedding! - I think...... I think ours was from John Lewis. I was not sleeping well and put it down to growing older All my joints hurt even though we have a decent mattress. The difference the memory foam topper made was wonderful!

Geoid Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 For when the astronaut got back from space. Something about joints expanding.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whittlewitch Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 My Grandma got one, and she said it was the first "proper" nights sleep that she had in years. And I think she meant YEARS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 YES!!! We have had ours for a couple of years,& its fab! In fact as it was one we bought on ebay & was quite cheap,we are thinking of upgrading it to a better quality one this year. We would never get a 'conventional' matterss again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 My sister has the whole memory foam mattress and wishes she had a topper instead. She says a ridge has formed in the middle of the bed. With a topper, you can pull it back into shape each morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Ah,I see. A ridge has formed with ours,but I put it down to being a cheap one? Its not huge,but you can see it a bit. Do you reckon I could put a MF topper on the mattress? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I would try that, yes. My sister's bed was an expensive one so I wouldn't go down the route of buying the more expensive mattress I just pull ours each morning and give it a good shake up and down - I can see where it would form into a ridge if I didn't.

Blackrocksrock Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 What did you get Lesley - I have such painful joints from top to bottom I cannot sleep properly either - what kind of topper is the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I am reading this with interest, I have bought a memory foam topper for my mum's birthday in July. She has trouble with her joints following an accident and also doesn't sleep too well. I bought it with the cashback on a catalogue we have bought white goods with, so it was free The other day I saw an identical one in the little ex-catalogue shop down the road for £28, and am now wondering if it will be a good buy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abwsco Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 We've got a memory foam topper and it's great. Doesn't go into a ridge either as it just springs back into shape. We bought ours from the QVC outlet at Warrington. Brand new and unopened for £29.99 when they are £140 ish full price from QVC. I know we wouldn't be without it now.

Chicken Licken Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I have memory foam mattresses on my spare bed - It is one of those Ikea day bed things that stretches out to make a double. At the moment I have sore hips (usually my back) and have to admit that it is more comfy and I get a better nights sleep than I do on my main bed mattress (which cost a lot more!) It's funny because it doesn't feel springy, but when you sleep on it it is sooo comfy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Man Banned Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 we've got a memory foam mattress and it is divine - really aids a good night's sleep We went for a proper mattress with it built in when we decorated our master bedroom. It wasn't cheap about £700 I think, but with Joe being so small and very boney and me being a bit fuller figured we had to get a good one. It's comfy yes, but as the memory foam works with body heat to mould to your shape, it gets warm, and stays warm too! We use a summer duvet all year round as we started to roast otherwise Wouldn't be without it now. A xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milly Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 We have one from John Lewis (Staples/Impressions). It's brilliant, so comfortable. But, as said elsewhere, it is rather warm, so you don't need heavy bedcovers. Milly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tessa the Duchess Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Ok I need to ask a stupid question If you have a mattress on top of a mattress what do you use for a bottom sheet? I use fitted sheets and two mattresses would not fit inside them Tessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purple hen Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Hi Tessa i use a fitted sheet on the ordinary mattress and another fitted sheet on the topper, it seems to stay put ok if you tuck the extra material well under the topper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tessa the Duchess Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Thanks for this, so two fitted sheets, but you wouldn't need to wash the one covering the real mattress very often, if at all. Hmmm, I am very tempted, I am so stiff and achey first thing in the morning, takes me ages to get going Tessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egg Lou Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I have a memory foam topper and think its fab!! Got the QVC one for about £120 (on offer) about two years ago.. I have back, hip and joint/bone issues that make lying down for more than a hour very painful.. this plus memory foam pillows have totally changed my nights! My family have now got them too.. one of them has the full tempra matteress however this has exactly the same amout on foam just on top of the main part.. so why bother spending nearly 2k more!

Hmmm, I am very tempted, I am so stiff and achey first thing in the morning, takes me ages to get going Tessa You can get deeper fitted sheets now. We bought our bedding in America as it was the early days of Superking size beds over here and trying to find bedding was a nightmare. Our sheets fits over both the mattress and the topper.

Cinnamon Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I am reading this with interest. I can't see any way that our fitted sheets will fit over both the mattress & the topper, & don't like the idea of 2 fitted sheets. Maybe I should try a superking one on our kingsize bed?
