Babbles Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 We found Tempur to hot, the fact the foam moulds round you to seems to be the problem, and the same with all foam mattresses that are too soft if you sink into them you'll be too warm. As we didn't have the budget to change all the mattresses in our private bit of our Chambre D'Hote and did have one which wasn't 2 sided so I bought a topper from Ikea which has done the trick. I also think if you put a foam mattress on a solid or sprung base they are hotter than using a slated sommier where the air can circulate.As to knowing which is the summer side and which is the winter we couldn't find the secret code, we just tried them and turned them over if necessary. We bought our mattresses from our local bed shop where the guy was really helpful in pointing us in the right direction in terms of finding 2 sided etc etc and ordered us some special size for our antique beds. Ikea mattresses have a great reputation but I thought they where expensive (when you include delivery) compared to the quality you could get in the local store.

Gemonimo Posted March 28, 2010 Author Share Posted March 28, 2010 Thanks to everyone who posted their thoughts and experiences concerning mattresses. Last week I did a tour of various shops ending up with Ikea and have to say that € for €, Ikea seem like a very good deal pricewise. I tested their latex and sprung mattresses and have to say that the sprung ones were certainly excellent . After taking on board all that posters mentioned about heat with latex, the sprung mattresses with lattes underneath will suit my purposes as air circulates and as I read somewhere that the average sprung mattress contains 2litres of water [+o(] I hate to imagine how much latex mattresses absorbe!!!!!!

5-element Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Great info all around, thank you.Looking into weight loss and mattresses: If a sprung mattress absorbs 2 litres of water per night, in a double bed that is one liter per person - so possible to lose one kilo each every night?For faster and more efficient weight loss, perhaps a latex mattress absorbs twice that?If you then add extra activity, your bed be the optimal location for maximum weight loss. Good news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemonimo Posted March 28, 2010 Author Share Posted March 28, 2010 Actually, 5element, I think the 2litres is accumulated dampness, not one night's absorption - my fault for not explaining myselft better. And as any serial dieter knows, water loss isn't weight loss[Www] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5-element Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Gem, I was only kidding and fantasizing...LOL if foam mattresses could rip the kilos off one, it would be common knowledge by now. (sigh). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chancer Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 If you have accurate scales then weigh yourself before going to bed and then first thing in the morning, you will look at your mattress in a different light thereafter!Or for a more viusal representation sleep the night in an old uninsulated camping car with all the windows closed.

Richard51 Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 We have a pocket sprung mattress with memory foam overlay which we bought a couple of years ago. My wife has a bad back (6 damaged discs and arthritis...amongst other things!) and she sleeps really well on this 'new' mattress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
