Anyone Regret Getting A Memory Foam Mattress?

I've had mine for about three years now. I'm 60, and because it's almost impossible for me to turn over in it, I end up waking up at least 6 times per night. I think I've yet to sleep through the night on it. I'm really sorry now I bought into the hype about them.

By the way, before these issues really became a problem, the return period had passed.

What's your opinion on yours, if you have a memory foam mattress?

I bought mine at Costco (Novaform) and I could not sleep without it. I do a quarter turn of the mattress every week. Love it. If you buy at Costco, they will accept a return. LM

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

I got as far as soft memory foam pillows. Deceptive, first weeks, good & all of a sudden, muscle cramps in the back of my head & neck. Terrible waste of $$. Can't imagine what a whole mattress would do.

I slept on one 3 nights at a hotel. I would never buy one for the same reason, it was very difficult to roll over or turn around. I hated it. It was like you were stuck in one position. I also woke up every time I tried to move. UGH

I have a sleep number. LOVE that bed. Soft or firm as you want it and no trouble turning during the night.

Re: Anyone Regret Getting A Memory Foam Mattress?

We bought a Serta iComfort last winter. I don't have a problem rolling over or getting up. It's not hot. It's just killing my back. I can't straighten up in the morning. I did have back issues when we bought it. But this mattress just aggravates my issues and has made them worse. If you are a side sleeper, forget it!

I've had a memory foam mattress topper for many years now.
I wouldn't trade it for any amount of money.

I keep a mattress pad cover on it. That could be why some of you can't turn over!

That's how we roll in the shire..

Re: Anyone Regret Getting A Memory Foam Mattress?

We bought one several years ago, and it is rather firm (we like that), and while I can't say I wake up feeling great, I do feel better now than with any other mattress we have had over the years. My lower back feels much better, but sometimes my neck and shoulders hurt. I have tries a number of very expensive pillows as well, but can't seem to solve that problem.
