CatieB Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Does anyone have one and are they worth it. Our spare room bed is very very uncomfortable but we don't want to spend louds of money on a new mattress as we plan to decorate the room at some point and may then get rid of the bed or change the size of it. Will a topper make enough difference to comfort. The beds not used all the time but the springs are quite pokey! I had to sleep in it last night and it wasn't pleasant.

Daphne Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 They are the best invention ever I have a cheap but thick memory foam topper (about £50 and 5cm deep) over a very very very cheap mattress. Its transformed the bed from awful to blissful I also have a very expensive memory foam proper mattress and the topper is just as good. The only negative is that they can be hot in hot weather.

Charlottechicken Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Agree with Daphne I have a cheap and thin mattress topper (under £50 and about 3cm thick) and it made a cheap old mattress very comfy. It does make the bed warmer but that's never been a problem for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Yep wonderful inventions - my ES asked if he could have one as beds in rented accomodation can be uncomfortable. Where he had experienced the use of one i didnt ask. I then got 3 on Amazon - one double, 2 singles. Lovely esp if like me you have a back problem. Paid similar price to other Omleteers.

soapdragon Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 We bought ours from Ikea and its great.....will also be far cheaper to replace topper than mattress...go for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Definitely - my mattress is good quality but was just too firm for me. I bought a memory foam mattress topper, not a very expensive one, and its absolutely blissful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I got a memory foam one from Home Bargains for a cheap mattress when my mum was with us after she broke her leg in spring - she said it was very comfy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Bought one from John Lewis soooo very comfortable. Being cotton it did shrink a bit in the wash but not as much as the previous one that I had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatieB Posted October 22, 2016 Author Share Posted October 22, 2016 Thanks guys. All very positive then. I'm just confused by the wide array available and wonder if they have to be a certain thickness to be effective against pokey springs. Just saw one in dunelm for £160 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Think I paid £30 or £40 for a single Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 If you have fitted sheets you'll have to go for the deeper ones. And if you have normal sheets you will probably have to up a size to have enough to tuck in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlina Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 I have the northern nights feather one from QVC Utterly fabulous! Like sleeping on/sinking into a big pillow Wouldn't be without it (I'm on my second or third - have upgraded/put older ones on the spare bed) It's less sticky warm than a memory foam one I tried I think it would be enough on a pokey bed, but couldn't swear to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 We have a duvet type one on our very firm mattress and it does make it warmer but much more comfortable. Ours was from Debenhams in the sale around £50 too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
