Memory foam

What's the point of memory foam? It costs a bloody fortune and evidently it remembers the shape of your body. Why? They advertise it by showing it having an indentation in the form of a hand which was previously placed on it. Why is this a good thing? Surely if you turn over in the night you want your mattress to have the shape your body has now not ten minutes ago.

I have a memory foam mattress plus a 3" memory foam topper, and a 13.5 tog duvet - Just right for us.
Only thing, the depth of the two together means the ordinary fitted sheet doesn't have deep enough sides and works its way off the corner during the night.
A trip to TK Maxx today was successful and I got a deep sided fitted sheet that goes well underneath the whole way round. It was 400 thread for £10... well pleased, and looking forward to a comfy night with sheet still in place in the morning.
