henry d Posted July 15, 2021 Report Share Posted July 15, 2021 (edited) Never heard of them until a couple of weeks ago, just something to go on top of your mattress just like a thin quilt! Nuts, why would anyone need something like that, it's just something invented by dunelm and the like so you buy more stuff! But then my wife bought one and oh my goodness!!! Morning aches are less of a thing, all the injuries from rugby and work are soothed and we have just bought a bespoke mattress with an integral topper that is 3 inches thick, can't wait to try it out 💤 Edited July 15, 2021 by henry d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruno22rf Posted July 15, 2021 Report Share Posted July 15, 2021 I'm on the fence regarding expensive mattresses, wife spent £1200 on ours and it's not good. It's a memory foam but I swear it suffers from Amnesia, hot in the Summer and scrotum tighteningly cold in Winter, weighs so much that it would need 5 Navvies to turn it and springs I'm fairly certain came from a Rally car. By contrast I bought 2 doubles off the bay of plenty a few years back for for £150 delivered for 2 teenage kids and they are really comfortable.

We have with our bedroom, but the guest room is cheaper but still good gear. 16 minutes ago, bruno22rf said: ...memory foam... Don't like them either, our new one is a similar price but sprung and with the built-in topper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agriv8 Posted July 15, 2021 Report Share Posted July 15, 2021 We got a topper. thrown in when we invested in a vispring mattress after We slept on one at a holiday let for a week we were both so impressed I had no problem parting with just short of £1k for one of our own. added to the fact it was made to order with firm springs on my side and softer for Mrs Agriv8. Put the topper on to protect a 1k mattress makes sense. The final point to Add is the fact you can machine wash the topper to freshen the up or if it gets soiled!

Jaymo Posted July 15, 2021 Report Share Posted July 15, 2021 EVE memory foam mattress in the Jaymo household. Really firm. She loves it and I despise the thing. Kids beds got cheapo IKEA foam ones and they really suit me ( I get kicked out of our bed when one of the kids is poorly or nightmares).

I took on TCW at the Brize Bop caused by a mattress topper - I had to go to hospital the next day as they thought I had busted my canticles in my hands...... 3 and a bit years later I was posted to TCW!!!
