clarky cat Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 After a few years of sleeping on a rock hard cheap mattress I decided to splash out on an expensive softer spring mattress The rented place i'm living has said the current mattress has to be kept there as they have nowhere to store it, so i've put the new mattress on top of it The new one is far too soft and i've woken up with joint pain all over my back. I tried putting the new mattress on the floor and it's a lot firmer, so the existing mattress underneath could be the main cause. Is there any solution to this? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmen Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 You should have just bought a topper. No way to make a soft mattress firmer The joys of renting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried 3 different toppers over a 2-year period, all were useless because the mattress has no springs Lotus companion I - 3000 baht Cheap Lazada topper - 700 baht King of Topper (Facebook page with 250k likes) 1300 baht None did the job, the lotus one I was able to sell and get some money back Nothing wrong with renting, I’m just a we’re all just guests in this country..

VocalNeal Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Put a couple of bits of plywood between the two mattresses to negate the action of the bottom one. Or remove the wooden base of the bed and store the bottom mattress below the bed. Reassemble and put the new new mattress on the wooden base 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you are not alone in doing that. Bought the one they said is what they sell to the 5 star hotels. Delivered rolled up in a box. Weighs a ton! Tried it in the shop, but really need a nights sleep on it for a proper test. Got a great discount on it, but wish I had gone for something just a little firmer.
