I sleep on a 1" thick lamb's wool mattress topper!  Heavenly!

Hey ~ I found it at my local Burlington.  1/2 price there.  $119 for a King.  I was trying to sleep with a memory foam pillow under my hip.  That worked, as long as I didn't move.  Yeah right.  LOL

I sure hope that you can find something that works for you!

Thanks everyone for your kind responses! I truly hope I can work this out..

A mattress topper is just a comfort layer that makes the bed feel soft. It doesn't affect the rigidity or overall firmness of the mattress or provides support to help with back and neck pain.

If you are in a college dorm, the mattress itself is probably not causing the problem. It's more likely that it is what the mattress is on, probably some kind of wire or slat support. If that is the case, try putting your mattress on the floor and see if you sleep better. If so, then you can put masonite, plywood or even a couple of layers of cardboard underneath the mattress to create a less flexible platform that provides more rigidity and support.

Then rather than a foam topper, get a padded mattress cover that will provide a cushy comfort layer and make the basic mattress feel like a luxury model with a pillow top. The fiberfill will also allow more air to circulate than the mattress (which probably has a waterproof cover that is inducing you to sweat) or a foam topper.

Also, make sure that your pillow has enough thickness and density to support your neck. An overly-flexible mattress can cause poor sleeping posture and contribute to neck pain, but the pillow is more often the cause. Feel free to check this review and find suitable topper for your bed.
