Hiya, I purchased a memory foam mattress earlier this month. Unfortunately, due to a tiny budged, I was not able to afford the quality I wanted, especially as I weigh 14 stone. I decided on memory foam to help with my lower back pain (bad enough for morphine patches) and arthritis in my hips and knees. I only spent £119 (and as sad as that is I spent a year saving for it!!

Damn being on a low income). I know you get what you pay for, but I got the last mattress I had for a similar price and have had no problems with it. Anyway, I find during the night I have sunk down to the bottom, to the extent that I can feel the bed base. Unfortunately, this pulls my spine out of alignment and causes significant pain. It is now 4.37am and I have been up for over an hour because the pain got bad enough to wake me up. I only purchased the bed because it had some good reviews. Is this something I will just have to live with until I can afford another one?

I can't keep rotating this mattress in the middle of the night just to try and get some relief!!

What makes it worse is that after my first night on the bed I woke up pain free for the first time in years, and I had forgotten what it felt like. >
