It all depends on the quality of the foam.
Apparently all foam is not created equal.
I had the base replaced last New Years, and it was not as nicely done as the previous one. After spending months taking photos of the sag and going multiple rounds with the store owner I decided to take matters into my own hands.
I really splashed out and got a new pillow, topper, sheets and a blanket.
Not as much fun to drag linens around the mall, but for the first time in over a year I am looking forward to going to bed.

Are you sure you are using your pillow correctly, Ludmilla?
In fact your shoulders must be against the base of the pillow, and your neck on the higher part of it.
But it's true some people I know cannot get used to it.
As for the mattress, If you move a lot in bed, the memory foam might not be your choice.
Best thing to do is go to the store, lie down for a few minutes and see what happens...
Not as fun as trying on bags .....:biggrin::biggrin:

True. The quality of the foam is very important. I do use the pillow correctly, too. My neck likes it best when I change my pillows after au few days.

I move a lot while sleeping. So, I guess a memory foam mattress is not for me.

It would be more fun if one didn't feel self conscious laying on the bed in the actual position that one sleeps in. Usually you just lie down flat and not many people sleep like that.
Last night was so much better! I did not feel as if I was sinking into a pit on the middle of the bed.
It will take a few days to break in but I was too excited to wait for the topper to "adjust" to the bed. For the first time in ages my knees don't hurt in the morning. Happy dance time!

I am glad that you sleep better and wake up without pain. This is so great! [emoji4]

Wooly hat...:drool:
Love how bag's look changes, as you change colors/accessories. Beautiful.

I go every 6 months.
Unless I crack a tooth gnawing hard candy. As happened few months ago.
We smoothed & ground down my jagged fang, then. Not pretty process.:nuts:

Nothing like beginning vacation with a gleaming smile.:tup:

Wonderful! It's pretty cold here too...:sad:

Thank you for bag and scarf love! [emoji8] yes, I always wear a hat during winter. We all know that I am prone to all kinds of colds...

Remainsilly, you are very brave about the dentist. I go once a year. [emoji85]

Note to self:
If you receive a beautiful, gourmet cheesecake as gift--ask for help opening box.

Attacking it with scissors, yelling, "Open! Open! Open!" is overkill.
As there are little, cardboard tabs on lid.
Which most people seem to know about & can operate smoothly.:shrugs:

Tabs on side of box? What is this of which you speak?
I use box cutter down all four side and lift cheesecake out.
I don't usually shout Open Open Open however.
I find "why the he77 are these boxes so small" to be more effective.
Lol.
