I once bought a used twin size innerspring mattress on Craigslist for $100 and used that to replace the flimsy mattress that was on a hospital bed. It was comfortable. I would throw myself onto the mattress (sitting down position) and I would sleep comfortably and very well each night. But after 8-9 years, I started having severe back problems. I then threw away the mattress and the hospital bed.

I then slept on the floor on a 3' x 6' yoga mat for a while. Then I bought a tall, metal, folding bed frame and I put the yoga mat on top of that. I thought the yoga mat was a good idea because it was near impossible to find any innerspring mattresses, and the ones that were in my price range looked like they would be terrible and bad for my back. I also did not have any confidence in hybrid mattresses and thought they would not offer enough support for my back. So even though the yoga mat was hard and uncomfortable, I thought that it was doable. I thought that I could also do some yoga mat exercises in bed. But I eventually gave up on the yoga mat exercises in bed and now I only do yoga mat exercises on a different yoga mat on the floor during the day.

Eventually, I did get a twin size hybrid mattress, but there were some problems with it. One, it felt too soft and was a bit uncomfortable. And the edges did not have any support, despite having firmer foam in that area, so anytime I sat on the edge, I would slide right off. Also the thick hybrid mattress, despite being the thinnest one available made my bed too high. So I sold the mattress a day later and went back to using the yoga mat on the bed frame.

But it oftentimes was a slow and painful process getting in and out of bed because of back and body aches. Lying on my side was painful on my left shoulder because I damaged my collarbone around 9 years ago. And sometimes, not often, my back would go out of alignment. So for a long time, I wondered what I should do. Should I get rid of the bed frame and get a shorter one and then get the twin size hybrid again? But I didn't want to do that. Should I get a down mattress topper? Should I get one of those mattress toppers that are mostly just cheap foam with only a one inch layer of memory foam on top? Or should I get a mattress topper that is 100% memory foam, like this one? Also, how thick should I get it? I never trusted memory foam. I felt like it would be a weird feeling having my body parts sink into the foam like that.

But I decided to give it a try and I ordered a 3" memory foam mattress topper for $70 and it's been worth it. The sinking feeling doesn't bother me at all. In fact, it is a good thing because it puts my body in a more natural position instead of putting pressure on a lot of body parts. It's 100% comfortable getting in and out of bed now. I can now lie on my left side without my shoulder hurting. I can now sleep on my back, side, or stomach comfortable. I sleep better. I haven't had any back problems, and my back is recovering from my previous misalignment fast. And I haven't had any problems with heat retention in the mattress topper and my apartment temperature is usually 82 F in the winter time. So overall, very happy. I am tempted to believe that this memory foam topper on wooden planks would be better than a hybrid mattress because hybrid mattresses consist of a lot of cheap layers of foam that wear out fast and are just unnecessary fluff, whereas the memory foam is all one really needs I think. Also, my hybrid mattress I bought weighed like 250 lbs (exaggerating), but the memory foam topper and the yoga mat I am using underneath it (instead of wood planks) is so light and easy to move. I like that. I hate lifting or dragging around really heavy mattresses when I have a bad back from a roofing accident that I was in. And now I don't need to buy a shorter bed frame as the mattress topper didn't add a lot of height.

UPDATE: It's been 10 days and I've been in pure heaven each and every day. I don't think I will ever have back problems again and even if I get back problems they will probably be solved as soon as I sleep on this memory foam mattress topper.

UPDATE: It's been almost half a year, and I never slept on anything so comfortable in my life. It's so great. I want to use this for the rest of my life. I like it better than actual mattresses.

I got this for our camp bed, which is a queen short, because the mattress in the camper is quite firm. It fits well and it does not really stick over the edge. I do have a mattress cover on it. I find that that is more than adequate for comfort without interfering with our Murphy bed at all. I tend to like a firmer mattress, so this gives sufficient padding while I still have some of the firmness of the mattress. It does prevent hip pain for those of you who suffer from this when the mattress (or ground:) is too firm. The price was good too. Highly recommended.

I personally love this mattress topper. The quality feels good, and the thickness adds noticeable comfort and pressure relief. It fits our mattress well and has stayed in place without shifting.

My fiancé weighs around 280 lbs pounds, and while he says it has improved his back pain, he said he does find it difficult to roll from his back to his side or vice versa. He jokes and says the foam “almost swallows him.” lol That said, he still likes it more than he expected to. He usually HATES soft mattresses, but he still seems to like this better every night.

This topper does not trap moisture or heat, so mattress dryness and breathability have been great so far. We have only been using it for about a week, but it seems like it will be easily washable.

Overall, this is a great option if you want a softer feel and pressure relief, but heavier sleepers may want to consider how much sink they prefer. Either way, for us, it has been a solid improvement.

I originally purchased my mattress back in 2020. At first, it was incredibly comfortable, but not long after, it became unbearably hard and firm. I’ve been suffering through years of uncomfortable sleep, and honestly, I don’t know why it took me so long to try a mattress topper. I think I assumed that because my mattress was so stiff, a topper wouldn’t make much of a difference. I was very wrong.

A few nights ago, I was laying in bed nearly in tears because I couldn’t get comfortable. My mattress felt no better than sleeping on the floor — like one of those cheap motel beds where you’re not even sure there’s a mattress underneath you, just folded tables with a thin layer of sheets on top.

As soon as the topper arrived, I unboxed it and put it straight on my bed. It expanded almost immediately after opening, and there was no strong odor. There was a very slight foam smell, which was expected, but it was not unpleasant and completely disappeared within 24 hours.

The comfort difference has been night and day. The topper is incredibly soft and squishy while still having enough firmness to feel supportive. Paired with my firm mattress, it completely transformed something that was unbearable into a bed I genuinely look forward to sleeping in again. It contours to your body without feeling heavy or suffocating.

I went with the 3-inch topper and have absolutely no regrets — it was the perfect choice for my situation. If your mattress already has some give and you’re just looking to enhance comfort, the 2-inch would probably be sufficient. But if your bed feels like cement, I strongly recommend the 3-inch. A 4-inch could be nice too, but at that point, bed height becomes something to seriously consider.

My mattress is already very tall since it’s essentially a box spring and mattress built into one. Adding the 3-inch topper definitely increased the height even more. I already use king-size sheets on my queen bed because standard queen sheets don’t fit properly, and the king sheets still fit perfectly with extra room — something to keep in mind if you have a thicker setup.

I’ve only had this topper for a few nights, but I felt compelled to write a review because the improvement has been that significant. So far, it feels durable and well-made. I do have cats, so I’m curious to see how it holds up long-term with nightly biscuit-making and jumping on the bed, but I’ll be sure to update this review if anything changes.

For now, I can confidently say this topper completely changed my sleeping experience for the better.

I originally bought this for my son’s bed for his birthday and wanted to make it feel like a hotel bed, so I did the whole setup. I paired this with a good mattress cover, cotton sheets, and a nice comforter, and it completely changed the feel of his bed.

It was honestly so good that I felt bad my daughter didn’t have one, so I got her one too. After laying on theirs a few times, I ended up buying one for myself as well, even though I already have a good mattress.

The biggest thing for me is the support. I deal with hip and back pain from bulging discs, and this made a noticeable difference. It’s not so soft that you sink way down into it, but it’s also not firm where you feel like you’re just laying on top of it. It hits a really good middle and feels comfortable without losing support.

It’s been a great upgrade for all of our beds and definitely worth it.

Ladies and Gentlemen, LEND ME YOUR EARS. I do NOT want to sell you this product. I have some basic advice that can make it work like a dream. Sellers are motivated by profits so they're never going to tell you the key factor that determines whether this item is a good fit for you. The short version goes like this; If your mattress is saggy, worn, with dead springs then this topper WILL NOT HELP, it will MAKE THINGS WORSE!

If you have a firm mattress and are looking for something to add support, it is a DREAM. I began this process with a worn out mattress. So I will share what happened below.

At first, I was deeply disappointed to the point of anger. I wanted a FIRM mattress topper to make up for a sagging mattress. I also sleep hot and was counting on the "cooling gel" (or however they market this as reducing heat). Without a cover it's an insulator. As soon as I let it rise and air out, I installed it under a cotton sheet. I laid on the topper and it really felt like a pleasant cloud and it was cool. It was not the firm sensation I sought but I liked it. 15 minutes later and I noticed I was sinking deeper into the mattress than before. Then coolness rapidly turned into a heat trap! It must have similar material as wet suits as my body heat and moisture began to heat the material. Now, I was furious. As I became increasingly frustrated my body got warmer and warmer. All I could think about was "the reviews MUST have been bots!" I also dreaded the hassle of returning it due to the way it's packed etc.

I spent hours the next day after a poor night's sleep looking for a Queen mattress under $350 that was extra firm but I didn't trust any of the reviews. I did remember reading one 5-Star review for this product (here) that I believe is up near the top in rankings due to its helpfulness. The person explains this exact point I'm trying to make very clearly. I'm trying drill this point home so you don't make the mistake I made.

At one point I remembered that there was firmer queen mattress in my guest room. So I swapped the mattresses and placed the topper. Thats when my frustrations made a full 180°. It may be essential for one to purchase a special cover for this pad that provides a layer for air exchange so that it cools. In my case, a fine sheepskin blanket provided satisfactory airflow to negate the heating effect produced when the body's warmth is trapped in this material.

I'm writing the review from the bed. It's ridiculously comfortable. I don't want to get up. Yet, please folks, understand it WILL NOT work to transform a soft mattress into a firm one. Don't make that mistake or you'll be so frustrated you won't have the energy to leave a negative review. You'll make your situation much worse! You'll also miss out on the chance to experience the effect when this product does work which is deserving of all the superlatives in the reviews.

I didn't try this but the 3" is dense enough I suspect that placing it atop the box spring would have been better than trying to make it work in with my old worn out mattress.

If you can afford to get a very basic firm queen mattress or swap one from your home then this can work. If not, just find a new mattress. There's no method I'm aware of to ressurect a bed where the springs are toast. I'm tall, muscular and heavy as lead. I have a fast metabolism and exercise often. I need a firm and supportive bed that's cool. If one takes a moment to consider that we sleep roughly half our lives, and that so much of our health is contingent on the quality of sleep we get, this is one of the few things money can buy to make a meaningful difference in your quality of life. Not necessarily "this" exact product. I'm sure there are products with far better design and materials where the effect ultimately supports multiple body frames perfectly. Perhaps there is a mattress topper that will work on a flimsy mattress just NOT this one. Yet the potential options I've found are expensive.

I'm taking the time to write this to potentially save YOU time and frustration. I'll circle around to the top. I honestly think a piece of plywood would suffice over putting this on a saggy mattress. It DOES add additional support to the contours of the body IF you have a firm underlying foundation.

The topper is very soft the padding feels nice, and offers back support. The quality is nice as well, it did have little smell to it but it didn’t last long. Now when I put it on my bed, it seemed to fit perfectly BUT as I’ve been sleeping on it daily, I noticed that it just keeps sliding off of my mattress. It slides off from the side i sleep on, so I’m sleeping on the right side, the right side of the topper slide off. It’s honestly so annoying, especially since I am 7 months pregnant and don’t want to keep moving the topper every day. I know nothing about deep pockets or the wash ability as i’ve only had it a couple of weeks.

This topper worked out fine to add comfort to the top of a couch , or any other smaller space for sleeping the 2inch thickness most likely would be as good as the 3 because you don’t exactly sink way into it . Best for a bed so it’s higher . It’s nice and soft , I added a sheet,all for a good nights sleep 🛌 👍

Comfortable for my son while we had company.

Best to use it with a mattress protector so it doesn’t move and stays in place. It’s very comfortable. I bought a queen size and it’s true to the size. Need to let it decompress and air out for few hours. It can truly transform an old uncomfortable mattress. It is definitely more on the soft side then firm but it’s super comfortable.

Not good, not bad.

The smell was so strong even after airing out for afew days that it gave us headaches. The product also had holes in it and looked quite flimsy.. it was not the solid foam as pictured in the advertisement. Really too bad as we have had this product before but bought many years ago. I'm not too sure what happened in the manufacturing of this product to make it so different. Really disappointed as the previous product we had was a 10/10.

Excellent topper for bed. Really impressed with the service and the product. I managed to buy 3 queen and one double. My family loves the extra support and also comfort as they did not complain of any aches and pains. I highly recommend this bed topper as it is gel infused and memory foamed. Love it
