Mattress toppers

[Jacqui Harvey]

I would like someone to explain how a mattress can make you feel cool or hot??  The only ones I see on the net have electric circuits which cool or heat a bed. 
I would also say, if buying a mattress i would go to a shop that specialises in bedding and not a general furniture shop.  We bought our original beds from Eren Spot  (I know how to spell it now as my Granddaughter is Erin)
and the mattresses were very hard.  We did not have them for long.

I think I would have to agree Jacqui. I was fortunate to inherit my dear late mothers bed last year and slept in it until we came out in january. She would never have anything cheap,or not from the proper place ' it,s false economy'  she used to say. I have never slept in anything so comfortable ever. Now my daughter has it, and says the same of it. Sometimes its worth shelling out for a good nights sleep. Here,s the youngest Grandaughter Drew, enjoying the comfort of it too!

Must say I didn't expect a topic on mattress toppers to run into 3 pages.  Despite the arguments for and against. I must say I had a really good nights sleep last night.  It was really comfortable and cosy and with a 13.5 tog feather duvet, it was like being in a nest!. Whether or not it will be too warm in Summer (the topper not the duvet that is  - we do go down to a sheet in summer like everyone else), I don't know, will find that out then but for the time being I am glad we bought the memory foam topper.

Lovely picture Silkmrs.   We have not used a duvet for years now, just have a fitted cover on the top of the bed. Our house in Scotland is well insulated and very warm, we would melt with a duvet on the bed.
