being woken up by rogue springs going off like mortars, to sleeping the whole night through.

You sure that's not Rachel letting one go? :grin:

I tried  few to start with and initially thought I wanted a memory foam or even a topper. After consulting with some very helpful sales staff they showed me how much heat memory foam retains.

I sleep with the window open nearly all the time even in winter. So decided that memory foam wasnt for me. Ended up with a pocket sprung Hypnos bed (they make mattresses for thee queeen dont you know). :grin:

Amazed at the difference its made, sleep like a baby until my alarm clock goes off now. Would also like to say that the type sheets/covers also make a huge difference to the level of comfort. Worth investing in some more as a starting point.

What people do not understand about sleeping is that half of your life is on your back except pro's! (more)
So with all that REM sleep and rebuilding as I call it, spending a small fortune on a decent matress FOR HALF OF YOUR LIFE is quite important  :rolleyes:

We've had our memory foam for about 4 years now, and desperately need a new matress! We bought it just before I went on a 6 month deployment, came back and it had sculpted itself to my missus lying in the middle, so no matter what we do (spin it round and stuff) we always tilt in!  :rolleyes: Its absolutely true! It does retain heat far more than sprung matresses, I've just realised it now actually and never really though about it.  :sad: IMO their lifespan is less than a sprung matress, its no longer very supportive, and no longer gives us the good nights sleep that we once had.  :cry:

Yes.. similar to what the lady told me. She also said with the cost of memory foam many get more money for selling them. Nice of her to be honest with me. The new pocket sprung has a 10yr guarantee.
