Memory foam

[Guest]

I got myself a memory foam pillow and I have to say that it made my neck loads worse - i think because it didnt mould very well under my neck (I have to sleep on my side!) and it felt like a couple of my neck vertebrae were being pushed slightly out of line.

I have also tried out the memory foam beds, however, and they are wonderful!

I'd definitely recommend trying them, but make sure they have a money back guarantee as it might not be the answer to all your problems

Hi, i've been looking at complete matresses as was going to get a topper but the mattress needs replacing anyway. Went to a shop and they either had a memory foam mattress with about 3 inches of mem foam on the rest normal foam, or 3inches of mem foam on a mattress (kinda like the silent night advert with individual spring pockets or whatever they are called). They were both comphey but i couldn't decide between them. Was wondering what people thought of the complete foam mattress as oposed to one with springs?

In the end i just ended up getting a mattress topper, one thats 3inches thick and high density (the same as buying a memory foam mattress or sprung mattress with foam top).
Its wonderful, can't stress enough got it from ebay store for £120 including delivery, another

I've just bought a memory foam mattress pad from Roseby's at 29.99 (single)
As it was half price I thought I'd try it. Not sure how thick it is yet.

They have money off other sizes too

We got our mattress from Macro. I think it was about £170 for a double

Can't buy double for my bed. We have twin electrics together, his is 3ft wide, my half 2'6" lots of room, OK for single bottoms (sheets that is) but difficult to buy very lage top sheets.
Sorry hope it does not sound boasting. Its just that it was the best option and the price was good at the time.

Hi
I heard that memory foam was great to sleep on but not good for anything else...if you know what I mean , according to the salesman they had a lot of complaints about not being able to get toe holds or something, interferes with movement etc...which put hubby off...is this true...without too many details!

Hi Donna

We have never found this a problem. (brief enough?)

mem foam comes in firm through to soft like any matress i imagine if you have soft it would
make it harder to get the momentum going

i have a full mem foam matres from a company called topsleep that do a trial in med firmnes and its wonderful
i had a topper before that was v soft that was too much

also about the getting hot its all about the way its made or something and the coating on the top layer from what the sales blub says all i know i was v hot with my ebay topper but my matress is cool it has a coolmax layer on top whih i must admit i though was gimiky nonsence but it is cooler

I have a snugmattress.co.uk 3" medium dense memory foam on 7" reflex foam, in 'coolmax' cover-
my 'hottie' bf (he sweats buckets sometimes) doesnt find it any hotter than any other mattress, and we actually prefer the "own movement only" of this mattress to the "added bounce" of a sprung one...

Hi Donna

I have a memory foam topper (3 " thinck) over a normal sprung mattress, and I get the impression that this is a little diffrent to a full memory foam matress, so maybe look at that?

i have a memory foam matteress but find it d**n uncomfy...
what ype do you prefer? does a certain type of matteress hurt?

I did try a full memory foam mattress but ended up in crippling pain with my back as a result and I still haven't fully recovered 2 years later I now have a normal mattress that's very firm but with a 2" memory foam topper on top. It's important to remember that everyone's different, we did start with a topper across the whole bed but then my husband ended up with a really bad back as a result of that so we now have a topper just on my half which is a bit weird because it means the bed is on 2 different levels so when we meet in the middle for a cuddle I usually end up falling off my side It's not ideal but it's the only way we can both get a decent nights sleep. On another note, I think tempur pillows are the best thing ever, I've just ordered a travel one because I find it so uncomfortable to sleep without it but the full sized one takes up half the suitcase. I hope you manage to find the right thing for you, unfortunately trial and error seems to be the only way to find what suits you, and error in the mattress department is very expensive in my experience.
