Does anyone have one on here? Do you find that it helps with the pressure on your joints?

Thank you

    I got one when they first came out. It was great but hot. I now have a fully sprung mattress with an integrated 2" memory foam on top. It's perfect. It's very quiet on here right now, merri, so I suggest you enter 'memory foam mattress' into Arthritis Care's search engine. A lot of previous threads on them will come up.
    If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

    We bought a 3" topper from eb*y and it's really excellent , plus being a lot cheaper than the full mattress .

    I got a new bed and it had a memory foam mattress.
    I find it great.....I expected it to be hot but up until now I haven't found that

    hi merri
    yes we had one, very comfatable but we had to get rid of it, it was
    to hot especaliy in summer and ended up not being able to sleep,
    and also found that it made you sweat.
    hope this helps

    I tried one but it done my back right in :(

    My mattress is really quite firm. I use pillows to support my knees and hips which does help.

    I use a 3" memory foam mattress topper- it's been a real help particularly for sore feet/ankles/hips. It can get hot, but the pain keeps me awake more! When we go on holiday I get hardly any sleep in beds without toppers- can't wait to get home to my comfortable refuge!

    Did you end up getting one Merri? I have a topper one which is great. It's a couple of years old now and I could be doing with a new one but I would recommend them.
