I've had my matilda kingsize for 2 years. I bought it because I was suffering a lot of back pain n mold matress. My pain reduced slightly with this matress but I still woke up in pain. Stupidly, I assumed that this would be the case with any matress. I hadn't had a holiday in years due to caring responsibilities so hadn't slept in any other beds for comparison. Since the passing of my mother, I've been on a few holidays this last year and am amazed how much better my back has felt each time. I have been thinking that the matilda must be too soft for me because I recently got myself checked out and following xrays, was diagnosed with arthritis in my neck and lower back. However, I went away again a couple of weeks ago and when I got on the bed, I immediately said to my wife that I was really going to struggle because it was significantly softer than my matilda. I was mistaken...I wasn't pain free, but I was in significantly less pain than at home. This has convinced me that the matress isn't right for me. It's strange, because when I first get into bed it feels reasonably comfortable. Within a couple of hours I'm in pain, and then have to constantly change positions until I finally give up and get out of bed. I rarely manage more than 4 hours sleep. It's my fault really, because I should have changed it in the first 100 days. I now know that I need to buy a new one, but accept that I probably need to spend significantly more to get a suitable one, so I'm saving up! One other thing, I overhest a lot on this matress, I wouldn't get anything with foam or gel again.
