Orthopaedic Mattress V's Memory Foam

[minnie76]

I am currently suffering with a sore back and think its the mattress so looking to change it.......wondering whether to go for an orthopaedic mattress or a memory foam!!! any suggestions would be much appreciated and
brand would be fab :0)

I wouldn't go for either, I'm afraid.
A new firm but not orthopaedic matress is what I would have.
I found the orthopaedic one we had to be just far too hard.
Have also tried memory foam type and didn't like it either.
Sorry to be so negative . :-(

Go for a water bed.

You really need to go to a store and try them out and not just for 30 seconds either. I love like mad my memory foam and it has helped my back and neck problems but many people can't get on with them at all

Bought a simple mattress topper. Much cheaper and made a geat deal of difference.

Don't go for memory foam - I beg you! Awful, AWFUL!!!!

[woofgang]

you see spikey, you say awful awful, about memory foam; I say best thing since sliced bread.
I do think the quality varies and the cheapos give it a bad name though.

We have memory foam and it is absolutely fantastic.

I had an orthopaedic mattress but I may as well have slept on the ground.

Remember my mother having a dunlopillo mattress - it was a dream. Very very expensive but hers was great. Not a lot furnishing departments keep them but I think if you have it where you live "Bensons for Beds" may have dunlopillo - if not google it.
