Hi @Newyear

This does come up quite often here, beds mattresses or pillows. Problem is we are all different and there's no real solution that will fit all of us.

This shows how different we all are

Or you can put something in the search bar above and see what you get. This is what i got:

My only advice would be to try before you buy if you can - go to a good shop and lie down on some for a good while. One shop even has some tech which should help in theory.

We had an amazing mattress which had a memory foam layer. It overheated me (just me!) and in the end sort of stuck in one position the dents staying there permanently and you couldn't turn the mattress over. Others here swear by them. Some love a thick mattress topper too.

What I do like about our current mattress is that it is reinforced (wire maybe?) around the edges so when my OH gets up he doesn't make the whole mattress move and either hurt me or wake me up!

Best of luck
