Can anyone recommend a good mattress topper?

Me and my partner have gone through a fair few beds this year and honestly, I'm over it!

When we first moved in to our apartment together there was already a small double with a memory foam mattress topper. This was far more comfortable than our own bed and I used to sleep like the dead but it was too small for the both of us. We decided to invest in a really good super king size bed and went all out on one of those Simba mattresses. The first one we tried was nice but it was too soft for both of us. It might help to know that I'm am on the petite side by the way where as my boyfriend is quite a big boy. Anyway, so we sent that mattress back and got a firmer one. He loves it but for me, it's like sleeping on the pavement. Not wanting to send another mattress back we decided to try a memory foam topper. The first one was too hard and the second one was just right. For me anyway! My boyfriend didn't like it because it was too soft and eventually his side completely sunk so we turned it around in the hopes that it would spring back up. It didn't. So now we have a mattress I don't like and a topper that is completely ruined. I almost want to cry because it feels impossible to find a bed that we both like!! 😱He suffers with pretty severe neck pain and we have both between us gone through hundreds and pounds worth of pillows just this year. Why is this so hard!?

He is a side sleeper, arm slightly under his pillow. I'm a front sleeper, arm completely under the pillow. Please can anyone reccommend a topper that we would both like? Thanks for reading.

You need a new mattress, a topper doesn't cut it if you find it that uncomfortable.

Go into a bed/mattress store and both of you lay on different ones together.

We've had our orthopaedic mattress for 4 years and it cost us a lot of money however, I have sciatica and my partner has a back injury from a car accident so it's so worth it for us. Like sleeping on a cloud but supportive at the same time.

I also have a topper from "hotel collection" but this is more for protection of mattress.

We have a hypnos mattress, a panda memory foam topper and reylon pillows and bed is my favourite place to be, I just wish the kids would be far more understanding of this fact 😁

Isn’t the panda topper fabulous? I love mine I want and will have a panda mattress.
