Will a memory foam make a big difference in my mattress?

Question

I have a really hard mattress that sometimes gives me back pains and don't have the money right now to buy a new one. Will a memory foam make a big difference? Will it make my bed more comfortable and softer? Also I sleep on a futon, the memory foam can fold for the couch position right? Thanks a thousand.

Answer 1

Memory foam can definitely make a difference!  However, I personally prefer feather bed toppers (or the alternative versions if you are allergic).  My mom sleeps on a futon and it was getting really flat and she was feeling every little thing and was so uncomfortable.  I bought her a feather bed topper last Christmas and she's been raving about it ever since.  I love my feather bed topper on my bed too... it's like I'm sleeping on a cloud.  I love it.

Good Luck!!

Answer 2

You know, I find that a memory foam mattress or topper will do wonders for your back. My friend's Dad is a chiropractor and he recommends to all of his patients that they should purchase a memory foam mattress. I personally have a 2" memory foam mattress topper that I purchased from Wal-Mart for super cheap! Since I switched to memory foam, I haven't had any issues with my back cracking or feeling achy. It will definitely make it softer and more comfortable. Also, if you sleep on a futon, either fold the mattress topper or cut it to fit the size of your futon. There are a bunch of great sites that talk about memory foam. I included one below.
