Penelope Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 I'm thinking of getting a new mattress and have been considering one of the new'ísh all foam type. Eve, Emma, Casper and Dormemo are all advertised on TV and sound great if you listen to be blurb. The Emma has been highly rated by Which. I prefer a firmer mattress. Any recommendations, please gents? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 Hi Changed mine to an Emma just before Christmas past, on their 40%? off deal. Back troubles needed it done. Seems to be a significant improvement over the previous pocket-sprung - they give 90?days return if not suitable. Tricky bit on any mattress is trying for adequate time - not possible in-shop - and even if trailed at home hanging on to old'un just in case is not easy/practical............ Bit like scopes really - your eyes are yours so recommendations probably mean owt. I've had a Dunlopillo previous - lasted well until replaced under warranty 8yrs into 10, prefer foam n firm meself.

DUNKS Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 I got an all foam one a few years ago. Didn't like it. Edges not firm enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmboy91 Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 (edited) I used to work in that particular industry, having seen and been part of the production process in my opinion you can't go wrong with a decent pocket sprung mattress. Pillow topped mattress's are ok for a few years but the tops sag in the end. I'm currently laying on the basic pocket sprung from the company I used to work for, it's 6 years old and has been turned regularly and it's still supportive and comfortable.

Newbie to this Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 (edited) I've got a eve one, best mattress I've bought. Be aware they need a fair bit of time once opened to regain their shape. (8 hours I think, but can't remember exactly) Edited February 15, 2020 by Newbie to this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuke Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 Bought a Tempur bed a couple of years ago, got rid of my back problem and sleep very well in it. /Markus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itchy trigger Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 changed to a Hypnos mattress last September, had a Silentnight mattress previously, its a totally different sleeping experience, well worth the money for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old'un Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 From what I have read and heard from a couple of people who have these foam mattresses is they hold body heat and can make you sweat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archi Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 We have a tempur memory foam mattress but whilst was expensive has been really good and solved my back problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOLDCREST Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 Had a memory foam one a few years ago..very expensive, but hated the thing..Very hot, clammy feel to 'em when sleeping, very unpleasant like having a fever...Went back to pocket sprung again..

marsh man Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 Hi Paul...... We got a new Sealy sprung mattress about a couple of months ago , we went to a bedding place near us to try them out and weigh the prices up , when we got home I had a look on line to compare the price and the cheapest by far for exactly the same mattress was Mattress online , or Online mattress , it was over £100 cheaper , free delivery and you pick your day for delivery , they ring you up on the morning to tell you roughly what time they arrive and they were bang on the time , two people in the cab and they brought it into our bedroom and made sure it was the right one , very good service and well pleased with the mattress.

manthing Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 We've just swapped from a very firm foam of some well known name but can't remember what to an Emma. Loads better, but as mentioned the edges give. Now if like my wife you need to roll out occasionally that helps. I don't find it a problem either.

The Heron Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 Be careful and think before purchasing my old mattress was 32 years old when my wife decided we needed a new one my old one was so comfortable when you went to bed slightly drunk all you had to do was sit on the edge and it automatically rolled you down to the middle but she complained about the spring sticking in her **** so we had to have a new one, I really miss that mattress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 I have been looking at these because of tyhe customisation possibilities. https://www.dormeo.co.uk/dormeo-s-plus-memory-foam-mattress.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

udderlyoffroad Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 Got a Casper, expensive but very comfortable. Not noticed any issues with retaining body heat. Stuck it on a cheapish Ikea frame too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perazzishot Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 We have a ViSpring must say it's the best mattress we've ever had, and you can have different firmness on each side. Worth the extra money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
