My sister and her husband bought one about three years ago and swear by it, although it took some getting used to.
I suffer with back problems but my sister has advised me not to get one as I am always too hot in bed (I use a summer duvet the whole year round) and these matresses make you sweat even more.....

Couldn't get anything to work albaqw! Will keep on trying. Craft, Mr ES already clammy chappy so not looking forward to that then. Presume you can still use matress protector over it. Thanks.

yes we have one and its FABULOUS. Ours is a tempur which was arm and a leg and a kidney time to buy but it has fixed my long term neck and shoulder problem (40+ years of pain) and also helped with my back problem. DH dislocated a collar bone some years ago and the mattress and pillow combination have resolved residual pain and stiffness from that.

Can't speak about other brands but I am female and at a certain age and could heat the whole of the UK at times, especially at night. I find the Tempur better than my old traditionally sprung mattress. It certainly isn't any more warming and the combination of the towelling type cover and the impermeable nature of the foam means that any perspiration gets wicked away and doesn't soak into the mattress as happened with the old traditional mattress....sorry if TMI :). I tried a mattress protector on the old mattress but the non permeable ones got sticky and unpleasant and the permeable ones got soggy and unpleasant...again sorry for TMI.

Tempur do a sixty day free trial but when we purchased, were not the cheapest place to buy from

I think so eyeshade......my sister has a Tempur as she and her husband sustained very bad injuries in a car crash and needed comfort and support for differing parts of their bodies......she reckons expensive but worth every penny.....

i bought mine from the "memory foam mattress firm" excellent quality mines a 3"memory +3" normal foam (not many are full memory foam throughout)
very comfortable after use get use to the none give as in a sprung one,the only thing i find like a lot more people they do make you hot,sometimes it like having an electric blanket on,

I dont have one but have slept on one in friends' houses. I found it swelteringly and uncomfortably warm! It doesn't seem to draw the heat away, it holds it round your body keeping you roasting all night!
