Opinions on this memory foam mattress

Options
We have just bought a maemory foam amttress but not from this particular seller, we took a real gamble but i have to say it is really really comfortable and we have never slept so well!
Anyway think they made an error on the price as they all seem to have gone up and one for my dd (single bed) is the same price..so we have just come across this and wondered if it's too good to be true?
Thanks

    This doesn't appear to be the same quality as the Highland mattress you bought. This one is only 6" deep, and the memory foam is low density at 45kg per m3, so it won't give very good support. I'd say that in my opinion this is a cheap and nasty imitation in comparison to the other one you bought.

    As for delivery charges, it should cost them no more than £20 to send it by courier. We only charge £40 to deliver an 11" deep sprung super king size mattress (which can't be folded or rolled).
  • I read the posts and must say that if you find the highland mattress uncomfortable than this is probably your own fault. Only buy this one if you know what you want and what you need. A new mattress is always causing a degree of uncomfortness and you will get used to it. if you had a doft or medium mattress why would you buy a firm mattress. This one helped me of getting rid of my backache and me and my wife would always recommend it.

    As Tim said the high density leaves imprints longer than low densities, but try a soft or medium one and you might find yourself sinking in too much and therefore getting too hot. What are you complainig about now ? Too soft, too medium or too hard ? Find out what you want and only then buy.

    That is complete rubbish. One manufacturers medium can be different from anothers.

    There have been loads of negative reports about Highland mattresses being uncomfortable, so it seems that you are one of the lucky ones who likes yours.
