You say that the foam layer underneath is soft. This is probably your problem. Memory foam needs a good supportive layer under it otherwise it just won't give you the support it is supposed to.

Thanks Tim - that makes sense.

I'm thinking of replacing the cheap lower foam layer with a firm mattress, and using the existing memory foam as a topper. Should be much cheaper than replacing the whole thing, since the memory foam mattresses tend to be pricier.

I take on board your point about the two layers being matched for the best results though, and will definitely bear this in mind for the future.:A

Scratch that idea - just had a go at separating the two layers, but the memory foam layer started to break up. looks like we'll have to start again from scratch.

It sounds like the memory foam wasn't brilliant quality either.

Anything but that brand.

Thanks Tim

interesting that you say that, we have a miracoil mattress at the moment and its rubbish, i thought it may be a one off as i understood silentnight to be a reputable company. do you know anything about coolmax?

No yours isn't a one off at all. Try searching the forums for Silentnight, and you will see what I mean.

Coolmax is a bit of a gimmick, and isn't worth paying much extra for.

Tim, thank you for the great and helpful info. I wonder if you could give just a gentle 'hint' as to which would be a good company to get a mattress from. My poor back has been aching for ten years, I want to buy a good one and am prepared to invest, but I can't afford to make a mistake and get it wrong!
