Does anybody know much about mattresses?

DH and I are looking to replace ours and I'm keen to get a memory foam type one since sleeping especially well on one on holiday last summer.

I've just started looking and am a bit bewildered at the options available:

Build - should it be pocket sprung or reflex foam?

Filling - memory foam or latex?

Finish - hand tufted, micro quilted or removable cover.

I'm sure there are more choices than this aswell!!

I'm completely bewildered and at this rate will end up still sleeping on our old one with noisy springs this time next year

Anyone?

Oh well, I'm just going to have to lie on lots and see what I think!

We love our memory foam mattresses. You have to let them air out after opening though.

Ooh! That's a good price - thanks!

Are the all foam ones better than having a layer of memoryfoam on top of a sprung mattress?

How long do they have to air for once they're opened before you can use them?
