@Linda0215  No, but I had new sheets deeper pockets but there was plenty of fabric left over.  My bed was a little higher so I had to adjust how I get into bed but not a big deal.  For me once I lay down I am sleeping within minutes.  I really like the fact that it is not hot.  Maybe order one sheet with deeper pockets to have on hand and try your older sheets on to see if they work.


Great idea.  Thank you.  I'm going to order it.  I wake up several times a night because my mattress is so uncomfortable.  This sounds like a good solution for the time being!

Re: I finally purchased a Mattress Topper

All mattress toppers are not created equal.  The more expensive ones are more dense, thus are firmer and likely to hold up longer.  The only place I've shopped that actually listed the density was Overstock.com.  One of the worst I bought was one 4" thick.  I thought, being thicker, it would be more comfortable but it was soft and mushy.

Re: I finally purchased a Mattress Topper

I purchased a topper from Wayfair a few months ago and it has been wonderful. Our new mattress is way too firm for me and I was having a very hard time staying asleep. The topper has allowed me to relieve those pressure points that would not allow me to get comfortable. Our bed sits up very high and I have a step stool to get into bed. My 6'5" hubby just flops on down . Smiley Happy

I do rotate my topper every other week and let it breathe a few hours before I remake the bed. Our mattress cannot be flipped over, but we also rotate it 2 times a year. That mattress is so heavy I have one of my sons help my hubby.
