Memory foam mattress

Does anyone have a memory foam mattress on their bed? I don't mean a mattress topper, but the actual mattress itself. Being a lady of a certain ae lol I have loads of night time flushes and am beginning to think that my memory foam mattress isn't helping, as most of the heat seems to be coming from underneath me rather than on top, if you know what I mean. I only have a 4.5 tog duvet cover yet am awake most of the night as I'm far too warm. I don't want to go to the expense of buying a new mattress if it's not going to make any difference.

We had a dunlopillo mattress for many years, now have a sprung mattress with form topper, can't say I have noticed the difference in heat.
Perhaps foam varies from one manufacturer to another.

I am a naturally hot person and we have a Tempur memory foam mattress and lift up base. We both find ut very comfortable and not at all hot.

We have a memory foam mattress and it`s great.
And i bought 100% Egyption sheets which helps with the hot flushes.

We bought a memory foam mattress in fact we’ve had two.....never again if you want a good nights sleep! The first one I used to sweat to death every night plus we found it flattened to each of our body shapes and in the end we could only sleep a certain way on it, very uncomfortable, so we got rid of it and bought a mattress with a ‘cool gel’ foam topper which again turned out to be worse than useless as I still sweated like mad on that one too so the firm we bought it from luckily took it back and we picked a really lovely pocket sprung one with no foam just pure wool in a topper. I notice they have now stopped selling the cool gel topper mattresses now so they were obviously a problem for other people as well.

We had a memory foam mattress but it’s now on the spare bed because we got too hot on it . And we kind of sunk into it so we disturbed more when turning over . We now have a Hypnos mattress which is heavenly!

Didn't get on at all with the memory foam mattress or pillows.

There is a 1 tog quilt available from Dunelm which I have found great when going through the hot sweat stage. So light and yet still a bit of warmth.

We didn’t fancy the whole mattress being memory foam. Thought we might be too hot, but do have a topper, and it’s lovely. Moulds to your shape which also amuses me as one side is different to the other! Really snug and warm, but not too hot.
Good luck

Had a Sleepeezee memory foam mattress for 15 years and have just ordered a replacement from the same company. I’m always cold and love the warmth of memory foam. Also have a 15 tog duvet for winter and a 5 tog one for summer. Happy to take a hot water bottle to bed too.

I have a memory foam mattress from Dreams. I haven't slept well for over 50 years, but I do get a few hours with my current mattress. I couldn't ever go back to anything but a memory foam mattress - I love it!

shysal - I’ve just taken delivery of ‘your wishlist’ mattress today. Still in the box until DD1 can help me get it upstairs. I bought it online - half price and opted to pay in 3 installments-interest free.

@Georgesgran

I would be interested to know how you get on with this - I've been considering an octaspring one. The stories of how warm memory foam mattresses are has put me off a bit but this looks like a fusion of sprung and memory foam.

I had to give up my memory foam mattress and pillows due to my hot-flash nights. Too hot and sweaty for me in those days.
