Visco Therapy Premium Super King Firm Memory Foam Mattress (4ft6) 20cm Cover

I've used both foam and spring mattresses before and this is by far the best. The problem I have with spring mattresses is that they creak and when you sit on one part, everything else sinks into it. With foam mattresses, you have to be careful not to get too thin a mattress as you feel the bed spars underneath, which is the mistake I made before.I originally went into a local bed store and was quoted £100 for a cheap metal spring-base frame plus £230 for the mattress plus £25 delivery so £355 for a full bed and this was an in-store model that was used.I checked online and found that this premium mattress actually has more memory foam than the local store model and for £100 less. I was still apprehensive as I like to check how a mattress feels in-store first and some foam mattresses are overly firm, which I don't like but I went ahead with it.I had it delivered to my work and fortunately (being vacuum-packed) it was portable enough to put in the back seat of my Fiat Punto. I was also able to carry it myself no problem. I opened the sealed pack and the mattress started to expand. Other reviews have complained about a chemical smell from some mattresses and I found this mattress only had a very faint chemical smell when opened and it cleared very quickly. It has a nice cover on it too.I was surprised at how thick it expanded and it actually seems thicker than a standard mattress. Before I got my bed frame, I was able to sleep with it on the floor and it was extremely comfortable - I was glad I opted for regular comfort and not firm.I ordered a solid pine double bed frame (Santos Double) online for £100 including delivery and I'm glad I opted for one with a solid slat base and not spring-base. One advantage with foam is that your weight sinks in at one location so doesn't affect anything else (I can for example sit a wide mug of hot cocoa on the mattress while I sit on the bed without it being in any way affected by me moving on the bed) but this also means that your weight isn't as evenly spread out so you sink further down and if you don't get a thick enough mattress, you will feel the slats. If you get a spring base, you may also find that you sink too far down and that you put too much pressure on individual slats resulting in them popping out.Even on my solid slat base pine bed, I am finding that I sink in a bit much now that the mattress is worn in and the firm version may not do this but I still prefer it to be too soft than too firm so I'm happy with my decision.All in all, I now have a rock solid pine bed base and a very soft, thick foam mattress for a total of £245, which is under £100 cheaper than a local store while still being better quality. I don't expect I'll ever buy a spring mattress again and would highly recommend this mattress to anyone.

I have been looking for a good quality mattress for a long time and after viewing this item I assumed there would be some kind of catch after reading all the rave reviews and also the relatively cheap price, I thought this item would be too good to be true, So I threw caution to the wind and purchased this item on the 15th Novemeber which arrived on the 17th "impressive". On first impression the packaging seemed quite small for a 4'6 double bed however the information from the reviews on here advised that you need to let it breathe and bring the foam back to size. After opening the item, I felt the wonderful soft but firm texture of the mattress "This is definitely a high quality mattress" and from that point knew I had made a great choice in selecting this item.The mattress has no smell regarding the foam, you have to press your nose right into the mattress to get the full smell, so don't worry about the mattress having that, after you have let the mattress breathed for 24 hours it expands to what is a magnificent piece of art in all it's glory.I suffer from muscle ache and minor back ailments for a while and have changed my mattress to see if it would make a difference and they never did, so understandably I was skeptical in thinking this mattress would make any difference, After the first night of sleeping on this deeply comfortable bed, I had no... let me repeat no muscle aches or back issues to my MINOR back problems, truly truly truly amazing.The comfort from this bed is unmatched from my experiences, the mattress keep's the heat in and counters the outline of your body to have a super snug fit,... On winter morning's you would have a very hard time getting out of the divine and luxurious comfort of this mattress "buy yourself a crow bar".In conclusion, This is by far the best bargain buy I have brought in years, Easily worth over £400, If you have the means to buy several of these items at this price I would do it...Sale of the century for me...

I am surprised by the high quality of this mattress. The delivery was fast and efficient, arrived within about three days of ordering. The mattress comes rolled up in an enormous cardboard box. It took only an hour or so for the mattress to expand into its full shape and size after being vacuum compressed in the box. There is definitely a chemical smell when it first arrives, but this is only detectable if you have your face pushed into the mattress. The smell didn't bother me or give me headaches, and after about a week it has gone away completely.This mattress is VERY firm indeed. I wanted a firm mattress and have been disappointed by others which claimed to be medium but were very soft. The bottom layer of foam may as well be made of wood as you can only really feel the memory foam on top. I hardly make any impression at all on this mattress, and is probably a bit too hard for me. So I would recommend this only if you like very hard mattresses. However it is very comfortable and I have slept very well on it.The quality is excellent and I would not let the price or other reviews deter you from buying this if you are looking for a very firm memory foam mattress.UPDATE: After two years, this mattress is now noticeably soft in the middle, with the memory foam failing to restore. In fact, firmness had faded after about ten months and now it is definitely not usable. So I got about two years of use from this mattress for the price.
