I think you sweat more and if you read in bed, well you bum sinks in and that is not happy! It seems to restrict movement and that might not be good either.Tru Dillonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06897278695146373746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322620.post-32787293012778840562012-01-03T00:22:18.078+00:002012-01-03T00:22:18.078+00:00Katie - I've always thought it was the other w...Katie - I've always thought it was the other way round - I know people who make sure their spare mattresses are lumpy and uncomfortable so no one outstays their welcome... ;)<br /><br />Carole - I'm getting better with it - not too bad a sleep last night.

Just purchased my second one this past spring (a major expense this time round), as the first was a cheap $299 one. But it lasted 5 years, so I can't complain about that!<br /><br />I have major back issues and have great difficulty sleeping comfortably on a spring mattress. Which means a weekend at my boyfriend's does a number on my back. :-\<br /><br />Give it some time, as it does take some getting used to not having springs help you move about. No pressure points with a foam mattress, which makes it worth its weight in gold, as far as I am concerned!Ponita in Real Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06886875733169389887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322620.post-81249895220037565992011-12-29T19:33:55.012+00:002011-12-29T19:33:55.012+00:00I've been sleeping on one since last February ...I've been sleeping on one since last February and I love it. I had a lumpy old hard mattress before that too. I didn't have any problems adjusting to it though, probably because I had already been using a thin 3-inch memory foam pad on top of my old mattress already. My boyfriend can't sleep without it, his back gets wrecked on a normal mattress.Chocolatesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08493321160124151967noreply@blogger.com
