  • First decide what size you need
    I can tell you that the market is full of nasty 50mm memory foam mattresses on the cheapest springs (too few & low gage). They look OK at 1st but I learnt the hard way and had to replace 2 of my kids ones. I've since bought the Tesco sealy Aura ones when they had 20% off +quidco.
    They have lasted 2 years so far and doing well, which is 2 x as long as the cheaper ones i originally bought.
    There are foam on foam ones (often sold rolled up). I'm told that these can separate and go wrong but ive not had one. Poundstretcher often sell these.
  • Thanks xxx saw the memory matress in Pounstretcher today not bad kingsize 139.99 have bough a memory foam topper for the time being while I save up for a good one xxx

    I bought one and I absolutely hated it from night one. it was a good one too.

    Google beds free trial, Im sure I saw one lately, then decide, its a lot of money. Mine is roled up in a cupboard.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    We bought one of these, figured if it lasted a year it was better than trying to dodge the springs every night! It is great! very comfy six months on :) Ours is the 12" superking one.
