How can I make this mattress comfortable?

[Adollop]

I've a double mattress that is only two years old. The bed it was on originally was put together incorrectly when I moved house, the middle support missing, and the mattress started to dip in the middle. I now have a new double bed frame, but the mattress still dips in the middle. Is there anything I can do to fix this? I've tried turning the mattress. I have a mattress topper, but wondered if a memory foam topper would help? Or is it a case that something right through the mattress is broken? Sorry, that sounds stupid, I just can't understand how it can be damaged by not having enough support underneath it for half a year The slats were fine, it was literally just a case of a middle leg missing!

I really can't afford a new mattress, so if I can't mend it I'll have to put up with it as it is, but I have a bad back and it's not helping.

I have a memory foam topper on my brand new mattress (I've got a bad back), and I love it.

But no idea if it would help with the dipping issue.

I doubt you'll be able to do much with it sadly. Sounds like the springs have bent which you can't really fix.

My mattress came from Ebay and was £99 including delivery and it's super comfortable. Maybe have a look?

I would second eBay, had some amazing second hand mattresses from there.

Mine was new and is pocket sprung with memory foam.

Thanks. It was a great mattress until it dipped.

Do you have a link to the eBay mattress you'd recommend?

This is the one I have. They were really helpful and easy to work with too.

Memory foam gives off toxins doesn't it? Or it that just tempur?

Thanks for the link.

You're welcome! I've had mine for six months or so and it's still like new. It's also super comfortable!

Have you sorted this? My husband slept in my lovely soft sprung bed for a while whilst his bedroom was being sorted (separate beds) and he left a large dent in the middle! After a bit of a google I read that putting one of those flat cheap pillows under the mattress where the dent is would work. It does! Simple, but until I read it, I would never have thought of doing it.

CatsMother thank you! I hadn't thought of that. I'll try it.
