Not everyone can cope with memory foam. Some people find it retains too much heat.
I prefer natural materials myself.
It depends how much you can afford to pay. I went to a big store recently. Prices ranged from about £200 to £4500!
Some companies allow you to try a mattress for x number of days then return if not happy with it. It is not an easy purchase as you really cannot judge in a shop, let alone online, whether it will suit you.
I need a new one but probably ought to get a new divan base as well. Double or king size? Storage drawers? Firm base, softer mattress? Mattress needs to be turned ( too heavy) or must not be turned? So many decisions.
I wouldn’t want memory foam either.
We bought a Harrison Spinks last year but returned it within the trial period. The style now seems for mattresses to have a built in topper which makes it very high and I felt like I was falling off it. I like natural materials so exchanged it for another make which is slightly lower. It has taken me several months to get used to it but it’s fine now.
Only thing is with these built in toppers you can’t turn the mattress completely only end to end.
