Memory foam toppers

I understand that 2" is ideal for these, just wondering will I see/benefit much from one that costs £50 odd to one that costs around £100-120.

I see one or two that have some climate thing so it stays cooler in the summer, is that worth extra?

Sounds like a load of claptrap to me..

If you get hot in bed in the summer, you get hot.. If not then you don't I don't see what a matress has to do with it...

They're not very air permeable - it's a very real problem (although I'm not sure with the new climate things) - you can get very hot

ok so on my other point, will I notice much difference in the quality/comfort of ones twice in price?

I'm looking at getting one myself as i have a bad shoulder. I'm unsure aswell but my incline would be there not that dissimiliar.

Climate thing??

We bought a topper a few years ago. They're pretty good although you do tend to heat up more as the foam wraps round your body.

Get a memory foam mattress. Toppers move about too much, don't rate them.

I bought a one inch memory foam topper to stick on my aging mattress and even at that side the difference is massive - and I made £28 for it.

We just got a mermory foam mattress and I'm still unsure as to the benefit I find it a lot harder to fall asleep on it but it does feel more comfortable; odd I know but probably takes time to get used too.

I know someone who swears by them, my only experience is Ikea memory foam, which is, cough, carp

We ordered one and got it last week. I much prefer it over the other 100% sprung mattress.

I do think it is part psychological anyways, a bit of a placebo effect.

Yeah i just bought a full memory foam mattress and it took me some time to get used to it, even though it is far more comfy than my old spring one.

tempted to go for this one

I have slept on one before and it is pretty comfortable but a bit strange at first.

I have one and it is awesome!

FeFiDoh · 28 Jan 2011 at 22:08

one of those I posted or one in general?

I have one of these on my poor university mattress. It makes a massive difference, but you do get hotter. I'm not sure if there's that much benefit if you have a decent mattress in the first place.

General. Can't remember where I got mine from but I can find out if you want!
