Memory Foam

Mattress toppers are an excellent way to enhance your mattress or get more life out of one that has lost its padding and while every mattress topper can help its memory foam mattress toppers that do the job best.

A Memory foam topper is made from polyurethane, a viscoelastic material that remains firm until you lie down and moulds around the contours of your body.

We offer two two variations on the memory foam mattress topper, each with different properties to ensure you have exactly what you need to make your nights sleep even more comfortable.

Classic Memory Foam Topper

Our classic topper is 5cm thick and has a density of 55kg/m3 which we class as medium support for the neck and spine. This topper comes with a cotton-polyester mix cover with a zip for easy removal.

Luxury Memory Foam Topper

This topper is designed to give those with neck or back pain a far more comfortable night sleep. At 7cm thick and with a density of 85kg/m3 it’s able to mould around and cradle the pressure points we all have when we’re ling down, including the shoulders, necks and hips. You’ll have more or less pressure points depending on your sleeping position which is what makes the memory foam topper suitable for all.

The luxury memory foam topper comes with a cotton jersey-polyester mix case with with zip for removal with the addition of an inner case made from polycotton.

We’re proud of all our products but there’s nothing as good as hearing our customers’ feedback:

“I’m now having the best nights sleep in my 89 yrs of living. The mattress topper was top drawer. Thank you”

I bought this for my grandson at uni as his bed is very lumpy and he was sleeping on the floor He was highly delighted and says his house mates want to steal it He text me to say he has to stop himself going for a lie down on it. Thankyou”

“…My 4 year old son kept getting up at night and he felt cold to touch. Since putting it on the bed we haven’t seen him until the morning, proof is in the nights sleep he and us are getting!”

If you’ve been suffering from a bad nights sleep or waking up with aches and pains we recommend getting a memory foam mattress topper. If you’re just looking for a little luxury try one of others in our range, including goose down, pre wool and mcrofibre.

Rather a disturbing story this morning, but it seems young prisoners at Forest bank Prison, in Salford, Greater Manchester are being tied up with bed linen and beaten by other inmates.

Revealed during an inspection, the attacks also known as ‘sheeting’, which were recorded on a number of occasions, have been condemned by the Chief Inspector of Prisons Nick Harwick as “serious bullying” which must stop.

It has been revealed that a young vulnerable man came forward and described how he was being tied up inside a duvet cover and ‘battered’ every night.

Mr Hardwick told the BBC: “A prisoner was forcibly put inside a duvet cover and the opening knotted so that he could not release himself while perpetrators carried out random acts of violence.

“Prisoners told us that it was common and we met a number of young people who had clearly been victimised in this way.

"We were concerned that for a small minority of prisoners, it was not at all safe and in some cases, prison officers on the wings had a passive attitude to bullying and unexplained injuries - however good the policies," he added.

According to the report Forest Bank, a privately-run prison for adult and young adult men, had 1,424 inmates at the time of the inspection between June 29 and July 9.

The A1 wing was where most of the incidents of sheeting took place and inmates identified "serious concerns about their safety", the inspectors said.

Now the chief inspector has called for the prison which is one of the largest jails in the UK, to investigate "the actual level of violence and bullying on A1 wing, use this information to inform the anti-bullying strategy, and work actively with prisoners to eradicate sheeting".

Michael Spurr, Chief executive officer of the National Offender Management Service (NOMS), said: "The issues about safety for some prisoners are however, a concern and they are now being urgently addressed by the director and his senior managers."

Studies have revealed that pregnant women who have below five hours of sleep each night increase their chances of having preeclampsia - a serious pregnancy complication related to high blood pressures.

Maintaining a good night's sleep while pregnant helps maintain the blood pressure at normal levels.

Pregnant women who are getting below six hours of sleep every night during the early stages of pregnancy have systolic blood pressure readings during the last trimester phase. The research found that this was almost 4mm/Hg higher than those women who get around nine hours of sleep each night.

However on the other hand, too much sleep can cause problems as women sleeping over 10 hours each night in their first trimester phase have a twofold increase in the chance of contracting preeclampsia.

1,272 healthy pregnant women took part in the survey.

The first interview was conducted during the first 14 weeks of gestation with their blood pressure periodically checked. Further information on their health and lifestyle as well as sleeping habits was also reported.

They found that the duration of sleep each night did not have an impact on the blood pressure in the first and second trimesters of pregnancy; however it was in the third trimester the effect became more prominent.

It is highly important that pregnant women stay as comfortable as possible when they sleep each night. To do this purchasing high quality bedding products is a sure fire way to ensure a comfortable environment while you sleep.

After a long hard week in the office and many sleepless nights, many people think that a long lie in on a Saturday will help rejuvenate our worn out bodies.

Scientists, however, have said that having a catch up on your sleep that you loose during the week can often be a pointless task.

Restricted sleep - four hours or less per night - has been found to be cumulative and that little sleep each night is almost as bad for the body as having no sleep at all.

Even if it is just a couple of nights a week can completely affect how the mind works and one single night sleep will not immediately reverse this.

Lead researcher Dr Chiara Cirelli from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, said, "There is a huge amount of interest in sleep restriction in the field today.

"Instead of going to bed when they are tired, like they should, people watch TV and want to have an active social life.

"People count on catching up on their sleep on the weekends, but it may not be enough. Even relatively mild sleep restriction for several nights can affect an individuals ability to perform cognitive tasks.

"For instance, recent studies in humans have shown that five days with only four hours of sleep each night result in cumulative deficits in vigilance and cognition, and these deficits do not fully recover after one night of sleep, even if ten hours in bed are allowed."

Insomnia can also increase the bodies resistance to insulin and further lead to diabetes.

Dr Cirelli's team studies how sleep deprivation on rats and recorded their slow wave activity (SWA) while they were asleep and awake. SWA indicates when an individual needs to sleep because the longer someone stays awak the higher the level of SWA.

Dr Cirelli explained, "Monitoring SWA levels during waking time is very important in understanding the whole picture.

"High SWA levels during periods of both sleeping and waking signal that you need to go to sleep."

The research is expected to help scientists understand the harmful effects of sleep disturbance.

Different positions you sleep in will affect the amount of pressure that is put onto your joints, you need to take into consideration the position you mostly sleep in and if you will benefit from a memory foam mattress or a memory foam topper. 

If you sleep on your side a lot, you place a heavy amount of pressure in your shoulder and hips, and if you sleep on your stomach you are adding pressure to your neck. 

A visco-elastic pressure sensitive memory foam mattress will work the best for you and provide you with the best chance of reducing the overall pressure placed on the joints, this is done by contouring them and pushing against them as you lay on the mattress. 

Latex is sometimes added to memory foam that will offer more spring against parts of your body such as the small of your back or yours sides, without losing the ability to contour and displace pressure points.

The duvet and pillow warehouse can help your achy joints by providing you all the information you need about why and how a memory foam mattress or a memory foam topper can help you,  and then advising you which would be most suitable.
