Memory Foam Matteress

[magick]

I need a new matteress and tried out a Tempur Cloud 22 memory foam matteress in John Lewis. It costs £1500 but i've never laid on a matteress so comfortable in my life. I can't afford £1500 but in Argos i've seen another 'luxury' memory foam matteress by Posturewise. It's been reduced from £1100 to £900 and if I buy it with a bed base I get further 15% off the matteress price.

Both matteress are medium support so will there be much difference between the two? Has anyone tried the Posturewise or even own it?

Not sure I would want a whole mattress made of memory foam.

Why not just get a really good pocket- sprung mattress and put a thick memory foam topper on? I imagine that would be more comfortable and cheaper. (In fact it is, very comfy, as that is what I did )

I tried some beds with memory foam toppers and they were no where near as good as the memory foam one I tried.

What bed/top have you got?

Having tried for the best part of a year I am ditching my memory foam mattress. It has been giving me bad back problems and I have even been woken up with leg crap some nights.

They are just not worth it in my opinion. Going back to a hard airsprung mattress.

When you first tried a memory foam matteress did it feel really comfortable for you but long term has proved not so good?

I would avoid like the plague.

Thanks for that post Salsa, very informative and made me decide not to buy it now.

Yes - massive difference.

Tempur are the leading brand, by a long way.

If you can't afford it now... save up and wait - you also get a 10yr warranty

My budget for a bed is £1000 max and thats including the bed base. I really can't afford to drop £1500 just for a matteress right now. I don't even really want to spend £1000 on a bed but if it was the same quality as the tempur I would. My budget for a bed base is £200 and £500-£600 for the matteress.

It might not seem as comfy at first, but the harder the mattress generally the better it is on your back. I say this having had core / back problems for yonks.

I was told by a sales person at John Lewis I should go for softer matteress as i'm quite tall (6ft) though I can't see how height determines what matteress you should use. I have some back problems right now though thats mainly because the matteress i'm currently using is well and truly past it.

I have a Silent Night one which I got for 75% off from Makro a while back and have no complaints about it at all with heat. It warms up quickly but a light summer 'breathing' duvet keeps you comfortable.

The best thing is when you're laying there you can feel the foam mouldling around you, feels good man.

I was so impressed that I bought a 100% memory foam pillow as well. I highly recommend them! The pillows are WAY more expensive than a good foam mattress deal though given how small they are in comparison!

Which Silent Night did you go for?

Just been out to try some beds and went to Benson for beds. Tried this Sealy one and it was like laying in heaven :-

Sealy Pillow Indulgence Double Size Mattress

He said they change the name of the beds in this shop I imagine to stop going back and googling for a cheaper price. I think this is the official one :-

I'm tempted to get it. Felt better than the Silentnights I tried. In the shop it says medium/firm but on the official Sealy website it says medium/gentle. The guy in the shop said to ignore firmness ratings and just go for the bed that feels right.

Are Sealy a good brand. Seems a bargain for £430 + an extra 20% discount.


EDIT:

Also saw this bedframe.

He said if I brought it with the matteress he'd do it for £300 and i'd get a 5 year guarentee with both. Good Deal?
