    Currently I've a 5 years old mattress that's uncomfortable to sleep on, a single bed that you can feel the springs through. It's my sons. I'm gonna buy another but just stack the new one on top of the existing one so that when he has a pal for a sleepover we can lay out the old one.

    In buying the new one is there any logic to identifying a very hard mattress, a particularly soft mattress or just buy any mattress.

    Thanks in advance for any useful response.

    Go in to the shop and lie on them. Thats really the best way to know. The people in the shop, if you go to a decent shop, should point you in the right direction too. Be careful though- the second last mattress I bought for my son was rubbish, even though I didn’t ask for a cheap one, it seems that’s what I was sold (if I remember rightly, I asked for a decent mattress for a child). Ended up replacing after a couple of years.
    I also would just get them to take away the old one, and buy an air mattress for sleepovers. Two mattresses will make the bed very high, and I think you need a bit of airflow around it too.

    Another suggestion, throw out the old one and get the Malfors mattress from IKEA. It comes in standard single which is non-IKEA bed size, so should fit a normal single bed, but double check.

    It's the one for the Hemnes day bed. It's designed to be used as 2 stacked mattresses or one mattress by itself.

    2 stacked is a very comfy normal depth single bed mattress, each by itself is a decent sleepover mattress. We found it so comfy on the Hemnes we got it for our own bed.

    Dont put a new sprung mattress on an old one, it will destroy both of them.
