Ive been taking my time going to various bed stores - mainly smaller independent family ones trying to find a decent double mattress.

I like the pocket sprung with a memory foam topping and so far found this one is comfy, but not finally decided - keep saying Im not in any rush - but if I keep waking up with backache like I did this am after a lie in Il be ordering one sooner!

Your link has very little info, but I've found one that gives more of the spec: http://www.justclickbeds.com/docs/Millbrook/Millbrook-ImpressionAllure-Mattress.html

They are fairly average as the big brands go. Where is the price?

Reflex foam only mattresses don't give anywhere near as good support as pocket sprung. And they can be hot and sweaty.

Sorry - not sure what happened to the link. £200 for the mattress http://bed-world.com/acatalog/4ft6_Double_Sleepeezee_Brompton_Mattress.html#a46m20

Hi can anyone give me some advice on a memory foam topper, I recently purchased a Kozee sleep orthopedic divan and mattress and I have had nothing but a terrible nights sleep ever since, way too hard for me but a lovely looking bed, so was thinking of a memory foam topper to alieviate the hardness just not sure which to get without spending a fortune.

I am looking into buying a memory foam mattress. Have always bought cheap cheap spring mattresses in the past and the last one has onyl managed 2 years - is now uncomfortable to sleep in and also my bed is very noisy when DH and I are "ahem".... We are wondering if we can get away with just replacing the mattress or do we need a better bed too. The bed is a latted base, pine bed from Argos so no doubt was cheap too!

Dear all,

First post so please go easy on me :-) after reading and getting bogged down in posts regarding which mattress to choose i thought it might me easier to just post a message to get some feedback on my choices.

After trawling arround every bed shop in Oxfordshire, being comletly bewildered with choice i have narrowed it down to the list bellow, does anyone have any opinions, horror stories or praise?

Need a kingsize, Medium firm mattress, like the idea of the foam top ones but have heard they get toastie and i do get hot, I am also a bit worried about buying something from dreams after reading some posts!

Dreams Chaucer
Dreams Raphael
Harrison Rubby
Vi-Spring (cant remember the exact one but i thing it was about 1500!)
Sleep to Live 7 (green)

Don't mind spending a bit of money on it if it's going to good, worth it, last and isnt a marketting ploy or sales pitch.

Please please please help i am completly indecisive and need help.

Many thanks in advance

Neil

If you want to make the mattress feel softer, then the best option might be a reflex foam topper. This would be far cheaper than memory foam. Memory foam moulds to your body rather than making the mattress feel soft.

Without seeing your bed it would be impossible to tell.

Does the bed creak, or is it just the mattress springs?

Anyway, thinking of going for something like this bed http://www.bed-world.com/acatalog/4ft6_Double_Birlea_Denver_Bedstead_in_Antique_Pine.html with this mattress http://bed-world.com/acatalog/4ft6_Double_Sleepeezee_Brompton_Mattress.html#a46m20 Any comments - does that sound reasonable? An OK-looking bed and mattress for £330.

Can you tell me the difference between reflex foam and memory foam, I have seen a few of both on ebay and other stores but didnt know the difference, I did have a full memory foam mattress a few years ago which was lussshhhh but my pug hopped up and had a wee and had to chuck it out which was a pretty expensive spend of a penny, but you know animal pee smells foul so had to chuck it!
