Memory foam mattresses

I love our memory foam mattress, not too hot, and very kind to our hips. Had it about 7 years. It is do good we bought 3" toppers for the guest bedrooms. Guests have loved them.

Not looking forward to the mattress on dd guest bed when we visit again (long haul). Must ask her if she has a spare duvet to put below us 'to spare the joints'.

I've never seen the point of a mattress that retains your shape. Surely it's meant to have some resistance to give support?

I love ours. I used to suffer from really painful hips on getting up. My sister recommended memory foam mattress topper. Almost immediately the painful hips disappeared. FYI Lidl have single and double ones at the moment. Quite reasonable

I've only ever had a memory foam pillow - far too hot!

Not for me either, I've slept on them from time to time when visiting friends. I have always found them far too hot and really dislike that feeling of being swallowed up by a mattress!

Mine is new. Pocket springs with memory foam top layer. I'm very happy with it, especially as it cost £250 (King) and the one in the spare room £200 (double) - they were 'Which?' Best Buys.

Medium/firm. Very comfortable.

You need to remember to rotate (not turn) these mattresses evey month or so, so you don't end up sleeping in the same place all the tine.

Don't like it! Hot and sweaty and feels as if I'm sleeping in a hole. Have had it on the spare bed and have had to sleep on it from time to time but didn't consider replacing my old mattress with one of these. I love my new miracoil!
It does nothing to help arthritic pains in knee and hip.
Definitely not for me!

We have a memory foam mattress and it is so hot as well as hard to move on. I am hoping to get a natural filling mattress as I have tried my DD's.
DD went to a bed specialist and bought a new bed. The company gave her a 60 day exchange period and she was so pleased as she didn't like her new memory foam mattress and has now exchanged it for a natural fibre one. She is really pleased with the newest one as she has inflammatory arthritis and the comfort is really helping her to sleep.

Make sure that you go to a vendor who offers an exchange or similar deal whatever you eventually buy.

Although my memory foam mattress was comfy, it had to go, it was so hot!!! I changed it for an all cotton mattress topper, much cooler.

I have had mine for several years and love it. I am a cold morsel so this mattress is good for me because if I go to the loo during the night the mattress retains its heat, so I do not return to a cold bed.

I do have problems getting out of the bed because of my osteoarthritis- the mattress is not very forgiving so it is a struggle. I also have memory foam pillows from which I also would not part company.

We have had one for nearly a year and love it! No more aching back in the morning. Mind you, the old one, normal type, must have been years old.

I have multi-joint arthritis and when we tried a memory foam topper I found I couldn't move on it, it sort of wraps around your form and I felt like I was stuck to it and I felt too warm we only had it on the bed a couple of nights and that was it.

Chocolate eclairs

We had one for about six years and was pleased to get rid of it. By the time we parted company with it the mattress was like the packaging of a pair of chocolate Clair's, two deep furrows that held you in place. We changed it for a conventional mattress last year and it's so nice to be lying on a flat and slightly springy surface. Makes rolling about rather easier!!! I know others love them but not us.
