As it says in the title !
Isn't foam quite hot to sleep on ? Srings on a mattress gotta be better ?
I'm not talking memory foam just plain old foam IKEA style ! (£79 for a single)
I thought everyone in Europe except the UK have foam ones generally.
Have the single ikea foam mattresses for both my kids and they,re well worth the money.
Same here - we've just been "conditioned" in this country for years that "the more springs the better".
We have the ikea ones on our bed as well as the kids - just ours has the s****y electric adjusters 😀
Got a mem foam one ourselves and can't say i notice any difference to a spring one other than its comfier and i cant feel a thing when the missus gets up in the night. unlike the spring one where every bloody movement transfers across.
If you are worried about it being hot then put less on top of them? Aren't most carry cot mattresses foam as well, so unless you then went for a sprung cot mattress (something we were advised was pretty pointless as they aren't on it there long, and the advice is to replace them for subsequent kids, by every baby shop we asked in) they are simply staying on foam mattresses. Our little ones foam mattress is also more comfy than our (relatively) expensive sprung one.
Foam rubber is easy to manufacture and almost everywhere else in the world people sleep on foam. Many of them are in very hot countries. Get a thin firm mattress and they won't sink in and overheat (my main objection to memory foam).
You don't metion age at all which is odd. Really youg children are recommended to be on foam and nothing else as their bones are so soft.

Which kind of makes me wonder how any human children ever survived long enough to grow up to invent foam. Unless of course, you are being foolish.
...and recommended by whom?
Cheap so called memory foam mattresses suffer with heat retention (and give them a bad name). Better quality ones don't.... (had one here for 12 years - still going strong - cost a small fortune though initially)
