memory foam mattress

[elderly]

Has anyone purchased a memory foam mattress? I am thinking of doing so but I would like to hear from someone who already has one and what they think of it.
Many thanks

I know a friend who has one and he say's it's brilliant.

Are you referring to Tempur? very expensive but worth every penny,they are brilliant;we have had one for the last three years.

Thanks WoWo and copippin. I couldn't afford Tempur but am thinking of Body Impressions 'Night Therapy' It is meant to do the same as Tempur but is about �400 or �500 cheaper. It is part of Ventura corp.

I had occasion to sleep on one of these foam-type mattresses some months ago. It was quite comfortable in the way that it accommodated to my body contours but at the same time (and this was in the summer) it seemed to retain much of my body heat in a way that a traditionally sprung mattress does not. It felt like sleeping on top of an electric blanket which was "switched on" all the time (and I'm usually quite a chilly mortal.) If you think such heat rentention might be a problem for you, try and persuade the supplier to let you have one on approval first.

We have a Tempur mattress and it is excellent.
