The war to sell you a mattress

Foam actually lacks the support of a traditional mattress. If you do end up making a switch, take a look at your typical sleeping position. Medium firm is good for side sleepers and firmest you can find is better for your back but honestly inner spring is best for your back.

I've suffered with backpain for almost a decade, a new foam mattress (Ikea) replacing a spring mattress seems to have helped a lot. It's a supportive foam with a memory foam top; firmer than the sprung mattress.

The only downside is, err, it doesn't bounce when you want to bounce, if y' catch my drift.

It feels quite different, definitely warmer (not a problem in UK), took a few days to get used to.

That's not true. You can buy a firm foam mattress if you want it.
