Which? recommend 3 Ikea mattresses, all v cheap. I assume you won't want
to spend a fortune on a spare bed. These are Ikea, Malfors, Harmavik,
and Morgedal.

I have an embarrassing tale to tell of the Morgedal. We tried one of
those, but it was incredibly hard, and we sent it back to Ikea. It was
only as I was attempting to wrap it up that I discovered that we had had
it upside down! What should have been the top was much softer than the
side we were lying on. The very very firm base was probably designed to
be absolutely fine on bars or slats spaced six inches apart.


Yeah, I've got one of those. it is hard to tell which side is up. I
couldn't find IKEA instructions.

Mine has 1 cm wide channels cut out across the top of the of the foam,
width wise. The cut outs across the middle of the bed are a lot deeper.
Also the cut outs across the head and foot of the mattress are slightly
deeper. I figured this was the top side and is designed to make the
mattress softer in those areas, i.e. bum and shoulders.
