Having suffered from an aching back since having an operation 24 years ago, I have found the Ergoflex memory foam mattress to be the only mattress to ease the problem and certainly not make it worse. An ergoflex mattress is not cheap but, in my opinion, worth the investment for an improved night's sleep. The mattress is medium firm but the memory foam moulds to your body shape giving extra support thereby creating a "firmer" feel. Hope this helps

I used to suffer from backache. Since buying an Ergoflex, must be seven or eight years ago now, I have had no back problems whatsoever. They are quite firm, but I find them very comfy. I will be buying another when this one gets too old, but it still feels like new at the moment.

They are very good mattresses, but I wouldn't say they have that sinking feeling you are looking for. That said, I use another sheet on top of the mattress cover so that makes it less "sinky". Not overly firm, but enough to give good back support. I haven't tried other brands to compare against, this was my first memory foam type. Had it about seven years now, and will probably replace it with the same when the time comes.

We currently have a king size bed with 2 x 2ft 6” mattresses linked together by a full length zip, on both sides, for when the mattresses are turned. Can you do this?

I'm not entirely sure what you mean. The memory foam is only on one side of the mattress so it can only be rotated rather than turned over. Hope that helps.

I would say that the mattress is hotter than a normal one, however, we have had the mattress nearly a year and live in Spain, so it's hot any way. My husband says he does not notice any difference. Hope this helps.

I think the memory foam mattresses are all the same. Yes, they can be hot. However, as you know, they are also very comfortable. I recommend using a cotton mattress protector, as this helps at least a little.

We have not experienced this with our mattress, but I understand there are mattresses out there that have a cooling gel that is supposed to help regulate your temperature.

Ergoflex mattresses are really good for that, we find. Some memory foam mattresses are worse than others in that respect, e.g. some Tempur mattresses (especially older models) - you sink, you simply can't turn over easily; it's almost like smothering, so you can get really hot. I bought an Ergoflex mattress for my mum, who lives in the South of France, is slightly plump, and is continuously hot (think about someone who opens windows in the office in winter!), and she's delighted with it - not feeling hot at all. When we use it when we visit (in the summer), we find that it's excellent too: its surface resilience means that it gives enough support without you sinking into it and heating up! (And the Cool-Sleep Airflow System probably helps too.) If you have an existing memory foam mattress in which you feel hot, it could be because of its foam density, or its age (they will eventually sag), or its incompatibility with your own size/weight (just a fact - I'm not judging). The solution there could be a cotton protector, which will help to make you sink less anyway, but it's much better to go for a special cover like Coolmax or Outlast (I've used both and find Outlast definitively more effective). Combine cotton and Outlast if necessary, but remember that the more stiff stuff (e.g. cotton protector) between you and the mattress also means that the "memory" effect will take longer to work, since it works with your body heat too!

I find they are warm, which I like especially in winter. Our Ergoflex mattresses came with a coolmax wicking cover helps in summer.

I don't think it is hot for me but each person is different. The warmth helps with poor blood circulation in my back as my lower back is always cold. My partner however finds it a bit warm sometimes though we both agree it is perfect in the winter. We use only a 10 tog duvet by the way. Don't think we need moore. In the summer we use only a thin blanket to and we always use a mattress protector as mentioned elsewhere here. Hope that helps.

Hi It doesn't make me hotter at all. I still have a quilt and throw on my bed. It is no different to any other mattress. Best mattress ever though! It's like sleeping on air. So comfy. I have two. One for my guests as well as my own! Go for it!

I am considering a new mattress, I have back problems but cannot afford a new Tempur. I am considering a possible second hand one (shop display etc) from eBay. Would you buy Tempur or Ergoflex? It's a lot of money to shell out and I just don't want to make a mistake as I haven't lay on either of them. Cheers

I can't comment on Tempur mattresses but have been totally happy with the Ergoflex we purchased. My advice would be to go a shop and try them out - it is a very individual choice. I would say the Ergoflex is definitely medium to firm as described - there is no body imprint when you get up. Hope this helps.

We purchased Ergoflex mattress 1,5 years ago. The decission was based on very good- almost too fabulous to believe - reviews. We have found out that the mattress is not very special in any way. We had to buy very expensive topper(not from the same company) to make it suitable for us. I really believe that the success is based on really clever marketing more than on the product itself.

I can't comment on Tempur either. However I will say that my Ergoflex is the most comfy bed and pillows I have ever had and the service when purchasing was absolutely brilliant. The only problem I have had with the mattress is that when I went to flip it (I know you don't have to but I did) I noticed a big patch of mould on the mattress. Initially Ergoflex were great and answered my emails about it but after requesting photos (which I sent early January 14) I never heard back from Ergoflex - which is massively dissappointing. My house is a normal terraced property which was fully gutted and renovated 3 years ago prior to purchase of the bed, along with double glazing put and insulation (again proof provided to company) and I sleep all weathers with a bit of window open. Apparently, I am not alone in this but its also not that common. Gutted is the best way to describe. So review is amazing product however if you have a problem you are on your own.

I have had back problems for many years. I was in the same position in trying to decide between the two, but I decided on the Ergoflex type, three years ago. it has proved to be very effective in easing my back problem, the only possible down side being that it may be too firm for some.

Good value for money provided you buy at the right time (discounts vary). I agree with other reviewers that Ergoflex mattresses are on the firm side of memory foam but I have found that it works for me. Obviously the best option is to try before buying and here Tempur wins. But for that and for their advertising budget you pay a very hefty price indeed.

We like yourself considered a Tempur mattress, but after reading all the great reviews about Ergoflex we decided to buy one. We have never regretted this decision. After two years the mattress is still as good as when we first purchased it, and backache in a morning is a thing of the past.

Like others I cannot comment on the Tempur mattress. However I have bought 3 Ergoflex mattresses over the last 7/8 years and they have been a revelation. I really do not have a bad word to say about them, I would buy with confidence and I would have no hesitation in buying another and I wouldn't even look at alternatives. My parents stayed over a few times and they have a Tempur mattress at home and my mum swears that the Ergoflex she sleeps on at mine is cooler to sleep on than the Tempur, that's the only insight I would offer you. I can't believe you could do better than the Ergoflex though.

I had back problems especially after sleeping. I bought an Ergoflex on a friends recommendation and have had no back problems since. I've since had 3 shoulder operations and get all the support I need. My son bought an Ergoflex mattress and I bought my daughter one. We all love them. My wife also uses the pillow. I bought a Tempur pillow before we got Ergoflex and the Ergoflex pillow is just as good. I haven't tried a Tempur so cannot comment however, based on price and comfort, I wouldn't change from an Ergoflex. As already stated in other reviews choosing a mattress is personal so if you can, try a Tempur, otherwise, take the plunge and buy the Ergoflex and save yourself a load of money.

I've owned 2 Tempur mattresses as well as a couple of Ergoflex. I slept really good on both of them. I've been very happy with my Ergoflex and I see no reason to pay more money for the Tempur. But try them both out and see if you can tell the difference. I couldn't justify the price difference.

Hi I would recommend ERGOFLEX. I currently have one having bought it to replace a Tempur mattress that I could not get on with ( had it a couple of months). I get the most comfort from this mattress over any other. I suffer from back & leg pain due to having had 2 discs removed and a spinal fusion. I found that I could not turn over on the Tempur and it did not provide comfortable support for my back. ERGOFLEX for me is far superior. Good luck

Although I am very pleased with the Ergoflex mattress I bought about a year ago, in retrospect I wish I had saved up and gone for the Tempur as I have never seen a bad review and friends who have got one rave about the quality. If you can get a shop display Tempur mattress on eBay then go for it!

I tried Tempur, for 1 night, at my friends and it was very, very comfortable- no aches or pains even after a night out dancing. I decided to buy memory foam after that but didn't want to spend the 100's needed for a Tempur one. I bought a double Ergoflex memory foam mattress and love it. I have good sleep and wake up feeling refreshed. I bought one for my daughter. My bloke bought one too, after trying mine. I have a single in the spare room for appreciative guests. Yep, I can recommend Ergoflex as being good value and helping relaxed sleep. After 3 years there are signs of wear as it has lost some of the initial firmness but I remain satisfied. I feel the difference after sleeping on normal mattresses when I wake up with aching shoulder and hip joints. N.B. It does need a good old airing before use and a supportive base, with small gaps if slatted.

Buy Ergoflex - you really won't be disappointed, and they are really excellent value; but if you are disappointed, or if there's a problem, you can return it within 14 days - look for "Returns".

I've had a night on a tempur and now the happy owner of an ergoflex, since 2011. I would say the tempur is best but with regards to finances I went for ergoflex which enables a great night sleep for me. I would recommend it for anyone on a budget. But, like one answer states, it is a personal thing, so trial first.
