I bought a generic memory foam mattress about 10 years ago and it's
fine. I like it because it doesn't need turning and seems to be a
hygienic material. Also, and I suppose this is the best recommendation,
I don't give it a thought.

I gather this is the sort of thing that should be tried before bought. I
don't think I'm that fussy though - for some reason I can sleep fine on
a hard floor, and had a cheap futon for about 20 years.
