Default Memory Foam mattress....

Slightly off topic I know....

But, these seem all the rage at the moment. I'm sorting out a new bed so may as well go for a new mattress. I assume these are decent as most places sell them...

Not cheap tho, so was wondering who has splashed the cash and regretted it or think they are well worth the money...

Sprung beds are better. I have a memory foam pillow and it has my head shaped into it and that wasn't cheap for a pillow.

I have a sprung mattress with a 2 inch thick memory foam mattress attached to it.

Comfiest bed ever.

But the whole lot set me back nigh on Ł1000 including Divan with drawers and headboard.

You need to spend to get a good one but bear in mind you can get very hot on them in the summer..

I sleep on one when I go to my mum and dad's, they are personally not for me. Once you are in, you are in, kinda make movement difficult as they almost grip on to you. Very hot too.

I've got a Silentnight Posturepedic mattress, was a fair few quid but is the most comfortable mattress I've slept on. Mattresses are definately worth spending money on!

I bought one a couple years ago - and by the sounds of it I got ripped! Mattress was Ł350!!! That said, it is nice - couple of years on it and it's still perfectly flat; no sagging (and I'm a fat bastid too ). It's firmer than I'd normally go, but I very quickly got used to it, and prefer the firmness of it now to softer mattresses. The only bad thing to say about it is in winter it's cold. The memory foam doesn't really get affected by ambient temperature, but it does react to body/contact temperature. So in winter, when the room is about 18-20 degree's, the mattress os cold when you first lie on it, but it quickly gets up to body temp (well the bit you're lying on - the rest stays cool). Which is great in summer tho, as the rest remains cool till you lie on it

Otherwise, I'm happy with it. Comfortable, supportive, cool in summer, tad cold initially in winter, but it's SOOOOO HARD to get out of in the morning as it's warmed t body temp and you're so snug lol

Best bit about it is that the rest of the mattress isn't affected by the area you're lying/sitting on. It's quite "dead", in as far as if I tossed my laptop onto my sprung mattress it'd bounce quite a bit. Toss it onto the mem foam one and it barely bounces even once - all the movement is absorbed. Seriously you can have a pint glass of water on one side of the bed and lie on other other and even when you move around, the pint doesn't spill!!! The advert I saw on TV showed this and I didn't believe it so I tried it and it's true!!!!!

Mem foam pillows are shit. Duck or goose feather in a pillow everytime! Ikea duck/goose pillows aren't expensive, lovely and soft, and they stay quite cool aswell....

I have a pocket sprung matress with a memory foam top and a coolmax outer

Memory foam is hot so the coolmax is what makes it liveable

Mine was about Ł780 with a divan base

Very comfy, turn it regularly ( round not over as it just a top ) and you wont get dents in it

Unless its a cheapy shit one

ours has springs inside and foam outside, best of both worlds apparently, Ł399 for a kingsize. It is the best sleep I have ever had, even 8 months on!

I fucking hate anything memory foam - bloody awful things

Get a proper pocket sprung mattress with a decent protector and leave it at that.
