I bought one of these mattresses as everyone has been going on about how wonderful they are to sleep on. It arrived last Wednesday in a box and to be honest, I want to know when is it going to be as wonderful as people have been saying as I am still not sleeping that well at all. My back still hurts, the top of my spine still hurts and I couldn’t move my shoulder at all yesterday
Yes I know for the last 2 years I have been sleeping on a mattress that was a slab of granite in disguise  
Yes I know I get easily disturbed though I suspect that has been more down to the poor mattress I was sleeping on
Yes I know my old mattress was hard and this is soft
Yes I know it is going to take time but ffs this is just ridiculous
As to the pillow, oh my god, who thought of that idea???? Pillow just equals small lump of granite and I cannot sleep on my back with it as I suspect I may well keep myself awake snoring otherwise I would
On the plus side, it was really comfy lying on my back, if only I didn’t snore so loud 
On another plus side it’s my third week without coffee and drinking redbush instead, maybe the two together was a bad idea  |

I love mine and so does everyone else who's tried it you get different consistencies (is that the right word??) like with normal mattresses though - I took a colleague bedshopping when I bought mine and she'd had one for years that she hated, lay down on the one I had picked out and was in heaven. |

I might try that though to be honest I think its more to do with the pillows now plus giving up coffee at the same time probably didnt help but am pleased that I have |

Yes they do different depths for different sized people so possibly mine is a little too hard for me |

The foam also comes in different densities as well as depth.
I bought a memory foam mattress topper … it’s just 2 inches but fairly high density. On top of a regular mattress that works well.... comfort for sleeping and still plenty of bounce for bonking.

I love mine too! I have the best bed in the world!
Although my old matress was too heavy for me to lift off the bed so I just put the memory foam one on top of it!
Oooooooooooooooh I luffs my bed! |

"I have a memory foam mattress but recently it seems to have forgot.
Who wouldn't try to forget sleeping with you 
God it's so obvious you want the 'funky love'.  "

I have both a memory foam mattress and pillow and love both. But the pillow isn't one of the shaped ones but a traditional style so I can still sleep anyway. Been great for my back. |

My advice for anyone thinking of buying one is buy the most expensive one you can afford, don't cut corners by purchasing one with a lesser known brand.
The deeper the top layer of foam the better, but stick to top manufacturers. |

I agree!
But don't forget you can upgrade it's memory at a later date. |

I have a memory foam pillow too... it's a big V shaped pillow... I've slept with one of those since I was little and the memory foam one is solid and brilliant and I love it and sleep like the dead!
Now if I could just get shot of the upstairs neighbours!! |

I love my memory foam bed and find it difficult when having to sleep on anything else..re holidays and premier inn stays .
Mind...when i got it...
I had to take a run and then jump on it as it was sooooo high.
Now its soooooooo lovely and never have any complaints from he who stays occasionally |

The website I bought it from suggested the softer one as i am slim, the firm ones were for those people who are not. Also I used to sleep on a soft mattress years ago, best one I ever had, slept like a baby |

had mine for 7 years and love it - not ha backache or shoulder ache since. Mind is not all that soft, for me just right. Would suggest a topper as others suggested to see if that brings relief? Other than that, could you send it back? |

"i love my memory foam mattress best sleep ive ever hd and so comfortable. also everyone else agrees."
Not so sure on that as I work with a few people that didnt like them at all and only a couple of people that like them. Maybe if I could get used to it, I may change my mind |

I don't want to imply you been silly, but you do have it the right side up? Unlike other types only one side has the memory foam on, the other is the solid base foam! :D |

Having read so may negative comments about the matress am now glad when I moved in September I idn't buy one.
To be honest I did try four in the shop, one was almost £1,000 but it wasn't at all comfy , so I decided not to have it and the matress I bought is wonderful, right support for me, no neck or back pains since....shame it is so heavy I need help turning it, luckily I have pals who help lol |

i was advised by my chiropractor to get one.
Must admit its great, although i cant use the pillows, as i feel too 'propped up'.
Maybe u need to get ur back sorted by a physio/osteopath/chiropractor, then u will be out of pain and sleep better?
just a thought

Possibly the right side up then. Also what kind of base is it on? This can affect the feel quite dramatically as obviously a soft base will translate to a soft/sinking mattress.
Memory foam also takes about 5 minutes to "activate" as the active bit is temperature sensitive.
Mine was £200 for a king size and has a good foam core with ~3" memory foam on top. The comfiest bed in the world! (and so says all who have experienced it!).
I suspect like sprung mattresses there is a wide range of types. |

We got one that cost a fortune and I had the same problems as you greykitten,Hubby says its the most comfortable thing he has slept on but I thought I had done something at work to make my back shoulders and neck hurt so much,one day I could barely move!
Its fine now though and I find it really comfortable so I hope you find the same soon
