Should I get a new mattress, or will a topper do?

Every week a Guardian Money reader submits a question, and it’s up to you to help him or her out – a selection of the best answers will appear in next Saturday’s paper.

This week’s question:

A recent hotel stay has led me to conclude our mattress is past its best. I’m considering trying a mattress topper rather than fork out £600 for a new mattress. Has anyone tried a topper and did it work? I’m drawn to natural fibres, but perhaps a memory foam one would be better?
