I've never owned a memory foam mattress before. Can someone describe to me how one feels compared to a spring mattress? Thank you!

Anne, I love my memory foam mattresses. I have a 12" and an 8". I like them both. I bought the 12" first, and, only bought the 8", because, I like to rotate my mattress, and, the 12" is too heavy. Great comfort, no regrets Anne.

With springs you can usually feel the coils when you lay down on the mattress or sit on it. Unless it has a top cushion on the spring mattress, the springs are very obvious. The memory foam has a more "consistent" hold to it where it doesn't bounce as much as the spring and is often much more comfortable. Go to a local mattress store and lay on the memory foam beds. You'll feel the difference. Also the mattress you have asked the question on- it is also a pretty good and inexpensive mattress that feels awesome on the back and joints. Anyways good luck.

The amazing difference is that there isn't pressure points I bought this bbe a few months ago compared to my old spring and my fiancé and I are sleeping better and I have a very bad back and it's not bothering me as much now it's such a difference I am in love with my mattress u are supposed to let it rise for 2 days before using I just used it lol but the second night it firmed up wonderfully

The difference between a spring mattress and a memory foam mattress is that a foam form to your body and a spring mattress don't have that ability to form to your body. 2 you don't need a box spring to sleep on a memory form mattress all you need is a frame that is for a memory form mattress but it is up to you if you want a box spring. I like it because it is comfortable to sleep on.

It doesn't bounce like springs, most people would describe it at really hard compared to a spring mattress. But if you like the firmness you will like it a lot

Mine feels quite soft. I find it very comfortable. Firmness is relative and subjective though and I don't know what your original feels like.

Yes, ours did too, and I could feel a spring on my hip. Don't get me wrong, this is not the perfect solution, only a seriously expensive mattress will do that! lol We have had our topper now for about 2 months or so and it is so much better! no more pain in my hip, very comfortable. But be sure to get the quality topper. Do not go for the cheaper eggshell version. Believe me it is worth it!

I would suggest sticking with a spring mattress if you are concerned about weight/sagging. If you notice the store floor models of the solid "memoryfoams" they all have a bit of a sink from people just testing them --- I went with a combo model - individually wrapped coils/springs with only the outer layer memory foam. for us it was much better and breathes more cooler.

This memory foam mattress is very very firm....I am looking to get either a topper or a regular real mattress to put on top...

I'm a 195lb man, and even though 5.5 should be rather firm, I found it to be much too soft for my liking. (I was looking for something firm.) I had a 4" memory foam topper from my previous spring mattress that I put on top of this though, and it feels much better (firm) now. I'd say if you want something you can sink into a bit, this would be right up your alley.

If you're on a tight budget or if you dislike the initial stiff feel of medium and high-density memory foam mattresses, then a low-density memory foam mattress may be the right choice. I love my memory foam mattresses. Low is just as good as medium or high. Hope this helps you.

If memory serves, their larger beds have a large, elevated beam running down the middle, annyway. So, six_one, half dozen the other... W/a memory foam bed, I doubt you'd feel much of a bump in the middle. Another reason to never buy another box spring mattress.

No. I would not say this mattress is hot. Being memory foam it does retain body heat more than a standard spring mattress but compared to the queen tempurpedic we have in the spare bedroom (which I would definitely say was hot) this mattress does not seem to retain as much heat as other memory foam mattresses. I have had this mattress for about 6 months and the first week I loved it, but the next month after was not as certain about it. Over the months after though I would go back to my original review. This mattress is a great bargain. It looks nice, it's comfortable and so far seems to be holding up pretty well. No. I would not say this mattress is hot.

I have never slept on memory foam, but this mattress is very comfortable. We placed it on top of our existing mattress and it is was a huge improvement.

I have the same bed and bought a 16" memory foam mattress and fits perfect. The lower build in pillows are covered by 1 inch but either way you use a regular pillow which covers that.Since this bed doesn't need spring box, memory foam mattress is the best for it and don't have to worry if you jump in the bed that you'll brake the support rails.

I put a 2 inch memory on a memory foam mattress that was hot and not very comfortable. The result is the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in. I have a hard time sleeping in hotels or other people's houses and can't wait to get home.

We actually have a memory foam mattress. I actually didn't like the mattress at all until we got this frame. It is such a sturdy frame, I actually wonder if it might make a world of difference for our other "regular" mattress. The quality of support makes me think that it could possibly help just about any mattress to feel better.Also, we do have a box spring and memory foam mattress. I must agree with the other person who said it might be too tall for most people. We are both 6-feet tall and even I have to climb into bed!

I love this mattress! I have laid on an all latex mattress and it felt more like memory foam. This mattress has more spring to it.

Have a spring mattress with a foam layer on top --- no problem -- but don't know about memory foam

I think the shock of first laying on it is that it is very firm, but your body just slowly nestles into it. We have had ours a couple of months and it is still very firm when first sitting or laying down, but it has settled a bit after the first few weeks. Give it some more time, both for the mattress and your body to adjust to the difference. We are very happy with ours, but it did take some adjustment time, after being used to an old spring/coil mattress.
