- Watch our guide on how to prevent sagging and dips in a one sided mattress. Why a mattress topper and protector are essential! John Ryan Contemporary explains all about one sided mattresses
Buy a 2-3 inch custom measured foam and put it underneath the mattress. Make sure it's less than the width of your mattress. That way, the sides of your mattress compresses down due to gravity while the foam pushes your mattress up from the middle top to bottom. This is what I do when I have a sagging mattress. I also advise getting a DIY mattress with a zippered mattress cover. You can replace any worn out foam instead of buying a new mattress every 5 or so years. You will save lots of money.
Thanks for this vid. Really helps alot
You’re welcome! Glad it’s helpful. Make sure you check out our blog with hundreds of bed articles. johnryanbydesign.co.uk/understanding-beds/ Sleep tight! 💤 😴
You are doing an amazing job well done. Can you please use a good quality microphone ideally a Lav mic cost less than $30 , then your audio will be amazing
The mattress protector also Prevents the sagging. Liquids including water breakdown the structure of the foam.
I’m watching and I’m like . SQUISHIES
Does 50kg/m3 memory foam have better anti sagging quality?
Hi Ranged, I'm afraid not, all systentheic memory foam is prone to settling compared to natural latex. Latex on the other hand is far better at keeping its shape over time but is at a higher price point because of this and the raw material cost. The density of foam just relates in part to the firmness and not the durability. Sleep well. John & Ryan
very educational, thank you
If toppers are so necessary to prevent sagging, why isn’t a topper constructed onto a mattress in the first place?
maybe so that they can change them out instead of it affecting the whole mattress?
Good question? isn't suppose to sag where is the topper already!
Money.
Toppers need to be removable. If you get my idea, every topper, every mattress with memory foam, foam, latex etc will sag at a point. So you have a limited time to use your mattress. If the topper would be constructed onto a mattress then when will sag you will need to put your mattress to bin. The idea of separate topper is that you can replace your topper each 2-3 years, if properly cared for.
Would be better to buy individual cheap coconut husk mattress + memory foam layer & stack it up. You get comfortable sleep with the memory foam with no sagging for years as the coconut husk layer is super hard & doesnt compress much.
Sorry we don’t agree Zizi. Memory foam
Is a notorious material for compressing beyond the point of no return in a matter of years compared to natural fibres like coir. You’d be better off switching it out for latex with coir if you want to create that layered mattress. Sleep well. John & Ryan.
The issue has nothing to do with the mattress being one sided, or even made with memory foam.
Both fluid & humidity will ruin the foam, use a mattress protector!!
Doesnt matter. You buy a 3000 dollars mattress, paired with and expensive mattress protector, as long as it's hybrid or memory form mattress, it will sag in a year
@@Moonster.C So basically we need to get a new mattress each year now, £300-£400/year? My parents had a mattress for arround 12 years and apart from being ripped all over, was still good.
@@johnnycarter6196 I know right. So sad . It's riddiculous that I had to spend so much money to invest in a mattress and it started to sag in a year these days
Can you buy a topper AFTER your matter is worn? Willl that help??
Hi Sonya, no unfortunately a mattress topper will never fix a failing or sagging mattress. You can read more here. johnryanbydesign.co.uk/understanding-beds/mattress-toppers-explained/ Sleep Well. John & Ryan
How do you reseal the mattress after you're done fixing the problem?
Easy to measure the density of the foam, cut a piece of it and weigh it...
Topper costs as much as a bed?
Use a clip-on mic next time. This video is very difficult to listen to due to room echo and poor audio level.
Or, you can not buy a one sided mattress. There, no charge.
If it's already sagging you can buy an insert and place it underneath the mattress

that was pointless why not just get a topper
the problem with adding a topper after the mattress is already sagging is that the topper will sag in the same spot. useless video!
The video is not how to fix a sagging mattress. It is how to prevent one. The topper will take most of the wear, thereby keeping the mattress's foam from wearing and sagging.
This is true!
You should get a topper from the beginning and mattress should have a low profile built in topper. That way the mattress topper will not sag that much with time, and you can replace your 3-4 inch topper each 2-3 years with easy, without significant sag in the mattress itself.
how to prevent a memory foam mattress from sagging = Get a topper. you can thank me later.
Thanks!
Basically you should get a firmer mattress like 8-10 inch with a low profile topper (memopry foam or gel, and get a 4 inch topper. This way you can replace only the topper each 2-3 years lets say. So mattress will still be ok for 3-4 topper changes.

Fixing a foam bed is extremally dangerous. Fiberglass...
Not sure that they contain or should contain fibre glass?! John & Ryan
@@JohnRyanbyDesignLtdWythenshawe almos all covers in the industry do.
Think you're confusing maybe polyester with fibre glass. Fibreglass is used for insulation not upholstery or mattress covers. Fibreglass shouldnt be used for cussions, covers, quilting or any upholstery fillings. John & Ryan
@@JohnRyanbyDesignLtdWythenshawe fiberglass is used in most factory mattress covers, those you "can't" remove, that one you cut. I agree it shouldn't be used, but it is there, I'm surprised you don't know it's there. Even my new tempurpedic has it.
@@JohnRyanbyDesignLtdWythenshawe then again, who knows, maybe things are different in the UK. Here in the US most companies will use fiberglass, unless you go
"green" and some of them use some wool or so. We got some silly fire laws here...
Great video. But what language is he speaking??
