    Thanks. That makes sense.
    So if you change position during the night the memory foam has to readjust.

    That's why you don't want the memory foam too deep, or too high density. The optimum is 2" deep, and 60 to 70kg per m3.

    The trouble with memory foam in terms of warmth though is that if you get into bed cold it reflects the cold back at you and it's very hard to actually get warm. But once you're warm it's really toasty.

    Very comfy apart from this though!

    I've never found that myself. Try using flanlette sheets in winter.

    I did wonder about that.
    I find it so comforting to relax stretched out in a warm bed. Have memories of getting into a cold bed pre electric blankets and lying curled up on the one bit the hottie had warmed.

    I have never found memory foam cold - you get into bed and it is always soft and warm, ie warmer than an ordinary mattress. Go into a bed shop and feel an ordinary mattress and then a foam one, the foam will feel much warmer.

    I couldn't agree more.
  • I have a Sleepright memory 500 mattress (can't find a link) and find it so comfortable. I struggle to sleep on a normal mattress now
  • I had tried memory foam mattress and they really worked to get rid out of back and chronic pain.
    I would recommend you to use Sealy Memory mattress its spring system is constructed with a number of small diameter springs that respond directly to every movement that your body makes, this also goes a long way to relieve any pressure points to give you a blissful night of uninterrupted sleep.
    One of the largest mattress and bed superstores, Best place to buy mattress on the Internet is mattressesnextday.co.uk.
    Company gives you discount and free pillow with every mattress also free delivery and services within 24 hours.
