Reply to: Anyone bought an Eve mattress, or other memory foam mattress?

Been using Tempur Matresses and pillows for years and they're worth every penny. No problems with being too hot or cold and they really do help with back support.

Have I bought a memory mattress??? Can't remember......

But a quick search located a Telegraph article on these which has me slightly worried now.

I've just read this. What was it that worried you? The fact that they're a recent start-up?

Relaxsan Waterlattex mattress

We've had the king sized one at home for ages, and I bought one for the spare room at my parents because the old mattress there used to cause me all sorts of back issues.

Other vendors are available.

These looked good, and I tried to buy them; but the quantity count on the DreamTyme web page seemed to change up and down at random, like a miniature one-armed bandit!

Then when I phoned their Bolton office, the slightly bored and irritable sounding guy kept me on the phone for ten minutes while he ambled off somewhere to check in person whether they had any in stock. It turned out there was only one in stock, and new stock would take anything up to a month to arrive.

So in short, I bought three Eve mattresses at £600 a pop. If I remember, in due course I'll update the congregation with a review on these.

The Geltrex mattresses look intriguing; but unfortunately I only saw the post on this after I had ordered the Eve mattresses.

Ah! That's very handy. I have a water latex mattress which is around 12 years old and (probably) needs to be replaced. I'd assumed that they didn't exist any more and had been completely replaced by memory foam.

Cheers!

its perfect :

Now Teflon coated to help keep it clean.

I had a bad back for years, Doctors had no clue, one day I got a automatic car a week later I was cured !!! It was all the gear changing !!!

No problems since (unless I get a manual hire car when no auto option)

So your back got better when you stopped pulling on your knob? How about your eyesight?

Dahlink, memory foam is sooo last century. Geltex is where its at.

Scored a Sealy bed with geltex: base, headboard and mattress around £1100 delivered. Best bed we ever struggled to get up from ....

Seriously, its firm but yielding, doesn't overheat and doesn't need turning. Though you're supposed to rotate it, ie head end becomes foot end, monthly. Go figure.

Paid over a grand for our mattress in the hope that it would sort my back out. Back is a bit better, but no idea whether that's mattress related or not!

get a combination one, traditional one with foam surface you get support & comfort.

well worth spending a few quid on decent sleep.

So the diet's not going too well then........

I'm taking up sky diving, and there's always a chance the parachute won't open !

Back in helpful mode, I've heard the memory foam ones are too hot too, something about the way they fit your contours increasing the contact area.

I must say it never occurred to me that memory foam might be too hot.

It'll certainly be worth checking the other sites people have kindly provided.

The one we have has a summer side and a winter side. Don't know what difference it makes, but there's a label and everything that says which way up to put it.
