Mine cost me £60, or around there, for a double bed size and it was money very well spent! I used to be the same, back ache, stiff etc. The topper is gorgeous to sleep on, it's that memory foam stuff and sore backs are a thing of the past now. I got mine from a store which I think is local to Devon - it's called Rainbow, maybe you could google it and see if they deliver?

Hope this helps!

Around that amount would be more reasonable ...

I am stiff as a board I swear a corpses arent this stiff - in fact I think I actually have rigor mortis!

I google Rainbow and its come up with a company who supply mattress toppers... is that what you mean?

hi,

I have been doing a bit of research and am now completely baffled ... they all come in different thincknesses and I have no idea what I will need ... will I be ok with the 2.5 (Tesco £70!!) or 3cm ones off the shopping channel or am I better going with something thicker like a 7cm (Ikea) ... then there's memory foam ... looking on other forums some say that theyve paid around £200 for there's and its excellent but then they bought a cheaper one and it was a complete waste....

I will have to do the rounds of ebay, maybe this is the time to take advantage of the low dollar?!?! lol

I bought a 3 inch memory foam topper from ebay for about £40. made a big difference.

Unless you are very light weight I would think you need at least 3 inches.

have a look on ebay for memory foam toppers - they seem to be going there from £40ish when you include p&p

Mattress toppers of all kinds can be found in Argos: see link below. I bought a memory foam one several years ago and it is one of the best buys I have made. I had a decent but firm mattress, but the ol' bones started to rebel aginst it (old age creeping on I think!!!)

Jen I went and had a look in Rainbow yesterday for you and they're currently retailing at about £100!!!

Maybe they made a mistake in the pricing when I bought mine 'cos they're the same make and everything

The other posters have made some good suggestions, hope you find what you're looking for!

The only way to soften-up a "hard" bed is to do some humping on it :beer:

I have a northern nights featherbed from QVC and get a much better sleep, also you have 30 days to try stuff out, if its not suitable just send it back for a full refund.

Hi,

I have bid on and won a mattress topper off Ebay. It 3 inch and is supposed to be memory foam, I just hoping it sorts the prob as I now feel about 20+ my actual years.

FelOn - lol not sure anything could make a block of concrete more comfortable.

Since this is in Bury which is not so far from Preston, you could visit the shop and try before you buy. If you do I would advise that you ring first so see if they have one. Also be warned that unless things have changed since I went, the shop is extremely shabby.
