I have a firm mattress, and when I had my knee replaced, I found it very uncomfortable around the kneearea . I was getting sore. So I put a 15 tog hollow fibre duvet under the bottom sheet, and it was wonderful. It also sorted out the aches and pains I get with RA. As I can't function if I

We changed our mattress to memory foam three years ago and that was the end of a constantly aching hip for me and nagging low back pain for hubby. I was very sceptical about using a memory foam matress initially but would highly recommend it now. After trips away from home, it is wonderful to

We changed to a memory foam mattress this past winter. Not the tempurpedic, it's a copy by Serta. We also found it too firm and slow to mold, so I bought a mattress topper, also memory foam from Sears. It's softer and between the two, we sleep much better. I also noticed that it seems to hold

We changed our mattress when we moved here six months ago. It is wonderfuly comfortable, and you sink into the top inch or so as it has an overlay of some sort of padding, but is firm underneath. My husband adores it, as he is a very cold mortal, but I find it 'cuddles' me too much, and am

Like Clay, I've noticed the outrageous prices on Ebay for shipping, and I too miss the old days. There seems to be a lot of commercial selling going on. An acquaintance, whose husband is a truck driver, said that when boxes are damaged in transit and retailers consequently refuse delivery, the
