I absolutely love the memory foam topper I purchased at Bed Bath and Beyond. I have no problem with my (old) sheets fitting over it. It was pricey but considering I was ready to get rid of a new mattress, that was just too hard, it was a great solution. I also love that they honor coupons regardless of their expiration date.

I didn't even see this when I just posted another thread asking how often do you change & wash your mattress pad...do you do it with each bedding change? I answer to OP, I've gotten nice ones at Marshall's too. The memory foam ones, or pillow top types, seem like a nice idea for extra-firm mattresses you want to soften. I have a featherbed on top of mine though, so not sure I'd feel the memory foam underneath.

no I just need some comfort for a hard mattress....thanks so much gals I really appreciate it. I will check all options. My sheets are long but not big enough for a topper I don't think. They are 16 to 18 most of them(got them here when they had really nice sheets).

Thanks again!Wink

I got cushy mattress toppers at Costco a few years back, and they are wonderful. They probably still sell them. I have a really fat mattress, and the extra deep sheets work fine with the topper.

I do a memory foam topper, then do a mattress cover over that. I got the memory foam topper at Costco. Mattress cover was from HSN, the kind that is waterproof. You don't feel the waterproof stuff, and wouldnt even know it was waterproof unless you knew it. It feels just like any other cotton mattress cover I've ever had. I like having the waterproof in case the cat gets sick in bed or has some sort of accident. Of course, it will probably be me who spills something before the cat does anything, lol.

I got a very thick and cushy king sized mattress pad which got so heavy when wet that it broke my washer. Expensive mistake. So take washing into consideration.
