Help on right mattress and topper

A customer asked

Hi, myself & other half , both 5ft6", both roughly 9st 11lb...presently have 7cm memory foam mattress topper which we love, super comfy. We are looking to replace mattress/topper and so wondered which mattress would best suit us- ideally a memory foam top incorporated into a mattress if one exists?

Big thanks Maggie .

Hi Maggie.

You are testament to the fact that even though Ryan and I balk at the prospect of utilising memory Foam in a mattress there are some people who really love the product.

There are literally hundreds of products with memory Foam at 7cm depth on the market.

Fortunately, it is incredibly easy to do comparisons as there are only two components to compare side by side - The memory foam layer (Depth and Density) and the support unit (Foam or Springs).

It seems a shame to cast your current MF topper aside before it is due for replacement and therefore if you are asking this question because it is the underlying mattress that has 'Had it' then consider getting the same kind of support as your current mattress but with the MF component included BUT re-use your current topper as a means of supplementation.

Using this method does not mean your new mattress has to have 7cm of MF - a nominal 4cm should suffice.

There are numerous complaints throughout this site where the top layer of a MF mattress has 'lost its memory so the more you can do to kepp it as new will pay dividends in the long run.

As a starting point I would point you towards Ergoflex.

This is certainly not a personal recco but a means of using what they offer as your starting point for comparing other models against theirs.

They tend to do what we do with Vi Spring - Offering closely matched alternatives for a much lower price.

They compare their products to Tempur who are deemed to be the market leader in that particular field.

Hope this helps.

John and Ryan.
