Well, have just taken delivery of a mattress topper so expecting a good nights sleep tonight. Mind you we have a thick mattress already so with the topper on will need a ladder to get into bed. will probably fall off if I get up in the night Lol!!

I have one of those egg-box type ones with the foam bumps. It's fantastic. I tried a memory foam one in a shop and didn't like it. You'll have to let us know how you get on. Bet you can't wait to go to bed now lol.

You two are going to persuade me to go back to bed lol!

Hope it makes a difference Ann,

I LOVE my memory foam mattress and have only heard good things about the toppers.

I've never slept so well since I got it - used to wake up with back pain 2 or 3 times a night - now once I go off - that's it for the night (well except if the kids wake me up lol).

Hope you enjoy a good nights sleep on yours. xx

~~~~~~~@Caz, is the weather as miserable up the road? I pm'd you.

Sure is SS, Dalton is wet and miserable.Have replied.

Always wake up at least once for the loo. (combination of age and diuretic tablets! But hope it will help my back problem.

I have a goosedown topper as my mattress is an orthopaedic firm one. I love it cos it takes the pressure off my joints and when I have the goosedown duvet on top I could stay in bed all day!!

we've just got our daughter a memory foam one and she loves it......she said she now has the best sleep ever,

hope you have a good sleep Ann,

Sue, unfortunately I'm so horribly allergic to feathers.

*shakes Ann gently....come on, wake up, I want to know what it was like! The Memory topper I mean...I want to get one....lol BC XX

Tell you after I've been to bed BC. Thanks Karen.

sue, I would be sneezing all night on feathers and my eyes would itch, lovely as it sounds.

Mind you our mattress is very thick and with the topper on the fitted sheet was only just big enough.

We are going out this weekend to look at the memory foam mattresses. I have had a bad back for years and recently have had a flare up of my old problem. It is worst at night when I am in bed and I really struggle in the mornings. It eases off during the day, as walking seems to help, but as soon as I come home and sit on my comfy chairs or go to bed it gets really bad again. OH has bought me a new computer chair today,cos I have been unable to sit at my puter for more than 10mins.
I am really hoping that a new mattress will help sort it out.

Hi Ann

I will look out for this thread tomorrow to get an update! I've been very tempted to get a memory foam topper as we've got memory foam pillows and they're lovely, but I do get quite warm and I'm afraid I'll be too hot with the memory foam under me. I also wondered about the fitted sheets, perhaps I could get some flat sheets cheaply.

Mandy the memory foam mattress does make you warm, even me, a chilly mortal at the best of times. There are deeper sided sheets being made now, I can't remember which leaflet I saw them in but if you google maybe you can find them, they make life so much easier and stay nice and smooth don't they? Flat ones come untucked and stuff lol
Frances, we got ours at the bed place near Homebase at Roundtree way, so your neck of the woods, think it might have been Bensons. There is a new Mattressman store opened up here too and they do them I think, but at cheaper prices.
I am pretty certain at Bensons you can have the mattresses on a trial basis. Don't forget to get a mattress cover as they mark easily - don't ask, not me!

Liz,

Thanks for advice. We had thought of trying Mattressman as they are now so near, also Bensons, cos I love an excuse to look round Roseby's! Will let you know how we get on.

Frances

Well, it was very comfortable and soft, but not too soft if you know what I mean. I took ages to get to sleep because I always do when anything is strange about the bed, but once asleep I slept well. didn't get too hot but I noticed the topper has 'stay cool' stamped on it so don't know if that is significant. Our was £128 including postage on line and was ordered on Sunday and delivered Tuesday.
I will look out for the deeper sided sheets. Ours stayed tucked in OK but only just.

I remember when Muffy got hers and I asked about it......one thing that worried me too, like Mandy, that it would be too hot, I sleep warm enough as it is......I did go to the Ideal Home last year with the intention of getting more info, and perhaps getting one if any deals were on.........but came back with something entirely different....

One temporary (I hope) problem is the smell. Like new carpets settees etc, a sort of chemical smell. I am hoping it will soon wear off.

Hi Ann.
The smell will wear off in a few weeks. I have been using one for a few months now and do not wake up with a bad back anymore. The only thing i found is that it tends to move quite a lot and needs to be pulled back over hubbies side of the bed.

Regards.
