Memory foam bed..yay or nay? (1 Viewer)

[Da Guru]

In the market for a new bed. Been looking at the sleep number bed and memory foam bed. Stayed at a friends condo over Easter that had a memory foam bed. Only stayed one night but I really liked it so I am leaning that way.

Been reading reviews and the main complaint is not the comfort of the foam but that many people say it is too hot and they keep waking up covered in sweat.

One option is to buy a memory foam topper for and try it out for a month or so.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

I tried it once, but I forgot how it was.

www.themattressunderground.com is a good starting point and the mattress thread on here is also good

I bought a 4 inch topper to try out, but it was very hot. It was supposed to be a cooling one, too, but it did not work apparently. After about a week, I started to wake up having trouble breathing. I'd have dreams where I thought I was drowning only to wake up gasping for air. It was scary. After about a month of this, I realized that it was probably the memory foam. We removed it and within a couple of days, I was sleeping fine again.

All that said, my fiance loved it and was upset we had to get rid of it.

I tend to sleep "hot" and she tends to be cold. We wound up going with one of the new Sealy gel-infused memory foams. we're both happy with it.
