Mattress with topper attached

Our mattress is around 6 years old and has a mattress topper attached to the top.

This topper has now sagged and become uncomfortable, as this is already like a mattress topper can we get another topper to put on top to make more comfortable or do you think it’s time for a new mattress?

Ours did this we got a new mattress.

Thanks I had been hoping to save money by getting a topper but then I read online somewhere that it might not fix the problem.

The topper itself will be a better surface, but it will not be lying across a flat surface, so it will sag where the mattress sags,

Thank you. So it seems like it won’t fix our problem then.

Turn the mattress over. I have a fixed topper but turned it's recently and it's really good.

Is there a warrranty on the matttress? Six years doesn't seem like a long time.

Evermore7 · 22/04/2025 23:45

There’s no warranty that know of.

I didn't think that we could turn it over as I thought the base was just hard. I’ll check it in a bit when I go to bed thanks.

Our mattress should be turned regularly. Try it with a new topper once you have turned it over. M&S do really good ones.

I never heard of a pillow top mattress that could be turned over.

Would it help to rotate the mattress head to foot?

Evermore7 · 23/04/2025 08:30

I didn’t think you could turn the pillow top as I have felt the bottom and it is very hard. I rotate this mattress monthly but it is only then better for a day or so and then it is uncomfortable again.

@Evermore7 They obviously don’t make them for turning then. So a shortened life! We turn ours regularly and have a separate topper. It was a very expensive mattress but it’s still perfect. Maybe pay more and buy once?

Yes, I think you're going to have to replace it. (:-(
Do you have something in mind?

I’m not quite sure what to get next. This one was pocket springs with the pillow top that was wool which was meant to keep the bed cool but I think it actually was quite hot.

DH likes memory foam but I’m not sure.

Memory foam sleeps hot. Latex sleeps cool.
