Memory foam mattresses

friendly_ghost

Has anyone tried memory foam mattresses. I suffer from chronic pain, the nerves in my spine are damaged, so I would love to know:
1. Do they work
2. Which one would you recommend
3. Where's the best place to buy one?
Thanks

My sister has suffered from chronic back pain and now uses a Tempur mattress. She finds it excellent and as far as possible avoids sleeping anywhere other than her home. They are pricey, but she certainly reckons they are worth it. As I understand it the first couple of times it feels strange but you soon adjust to the feel and get all the benefit.

Don't know where you are, but if you are anywhere near London Warren Evans (http://www.warrenevans.com/) are great. And you can try out the mattresses in the showroom.

I tried out a couple of memory foam mattress and found that Tempur was too hard and made me hot so have gone for a medium Sealy Mirrorform mattress which is slightly softer and easier to get used to.

Lots of bed showrooms, Bensons, Furniture Village, have memory foam but dont get talked into cheap ones they dont last.

See BLT Beds and Citybeds websites for good deals

What about memory foam mattress toppers? A friend with FMS and a spinal injury got one last year and swears by it.

Has anyone else tried these?

I bought my (double) memory foam mattress from QVC it was about £230 and comes with a reversable (fleece one side, quilted cotton the other) cover. I've had it for a year now and it is priceless. I had an overnight stay away from home last month and after sleeping on an ordinary mattress I felt like I'd been kicked all over. They have them in single, double and kingsize and you can try it for 30 days to see if you like it!! Honest - I don't work for QVC I'm just a very happy customer :j

It would be helpful if anyone who has had one of these miraflex memory foam ones posted back to say how they have got used to it or not?

We have purchased Slumberland Memory Foam mattress (double) from Benson's at 450 pounds (we paid cash so we got 10% discount).

Have got it for nearly a week and it is superb!

Did not really like it when we tried at the shop and could not tell the difference between a traditional spring mattress but my DH really loved it and that's why I gave in.

Now we both really love the mattress and it's not too warm at all!

The mattress feels very different as it feels soft and hard in one (contradicting I know!), and we feel very refreshed in the morning too.

Hi

I suffer with Lupus, Fybomyalgia, oestiaporosis (in hips and base of spine) and a ton of other ailments..lol. I am unable to move around alot and am in pain 24/7. Joints, bones and muscles are very bad..only 30 :eek:

We have a superking bed and about 6 months ago bought a memory foam mattress from my mums catalogue (she had a voucher code and 6 months %0-and she paid half )...it is great. Although i dont sleep well anyway when I do get up the stairs to bed it is worth every penny. I would recomend personally to anyone with problems like myself.

I am waiting for my stairlift to be fitted, then I will be able to sleep in my comfy bed each night

Penny-Pincher!!

Apologies already posted this on the at home board, but I may get a reply on here!

I need to buy a king-size memory foam mattress, and the miraflex one has been mentioned a few times by Ted Hutchinson on various threads, but are they any good? the one person that mentioned use of them on here said that the mattress was pretty hard; when I emailed the company they said that the mattress was a 'medium'?

also the website advertises as 10cm viscose foam, but in their email they say it's only 5cm VF with 12 cm reflex foam - is this good/bad/neither? sadly, i'm not an orthopaedic chemical engineer!

please, if anyone out there has bought one of these then could you drop a quick message here to say whether they are any good... the prices for one of these mattresses look unbeatable, but the proof is in the use

thanks again

the email I received

"The mattress is not too soft and not too hard it is in between both which is
medium. The mattress consists of 5cm of visco elastic memory foam and 12cm
of reflex foam altogether being 17cm deep. The warranty is 5 years. We offer
free delivery in England, Scotland and Wales"
