hi i mistakenly bought a cheap £100 mattress a couple of years ago and its not very supportive, it sinks in the middle and the springs are noticable.
instead of spending £200+ on a better mattress can i buy a topper to firm it up? i just want a more firmer supportive feel. i have £75 max to spend at argos but would rather spend a bit less. any recomendations please let me know.

Buy cheap buy twice is the old adage. What is the mattress base construction? better support from below the mattress may help? or not?
£200 is still very cheap (depending on size of mattress).
Toppers are 'comfort layers' and are not designed for support.

Toppers are 'comfort layers' and are not designed for support.Definitely won’t find a topper to solve the sinking and give firm support.I also agree that the £100 mattress is extremely cheap as is a £200 replacement. Of course not everyone can afford more but a mattress is a 10+ year investment and it’s definitely buy cheap, pay twice or 3 times more.I’m a Senior Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Competitions Time, Shopping & Freebies boards, Employment, Jobseeking & Training boards If you need any help on these boards, do let me know.

its a sprung mattress but not pocket sprung i dont think. ive already put some sections of solid wood under as a base, on top of the slats which definitely helped a little.0
