Re: Mattress topper question

 My experience with a mattress topper. We had one it did not have a cover or straps to hold it in place on the mattress. It was a royal pain in the behind. I could never keep sheets down over the mattress. Daily pulling the sheets back over the bottom or the mattress. No matter the depth of the fitted sheet. It is now used for dogs beds when the pads get flat.

@Lali1   We have a 3" topper on another bed.  I have never had an issue with it staying in place.  It does have straps on each corner that fit under the mattress, maybe that is the secret.

The one I have came from QVC years ago, it's no longer available or I would just repurchase.

There's a youtube demonstration you should watch by suburban millennial.  Watch how much the guy sinks in while sitting on it.  He gives it a high rating.

 

Be sure to watch the youtube video by mattress clarity.

Re: Mattress topper question

@Mom2Dogs    I've used memory foam toppers for years but have always bought them from Overstock.com.  They are the only place that lists the density of the foam which is very important.  If it's not dense enough, it is too soft and you do have trouble sinking into it.  All foam is not created equal; there are different qualities and the cheap ones are more likely to be unsatisfactory.  I must say, in all the years of using them, I've never found them to be "hot".  I don't remember having had a gel infused topper.

Re: Mattress topper question

Got a nice 3 " memory foam topper thinking it would be nice and cradleing for my back.  Although it supported and cradeled as expected I woke up with more back pain than without it.  took me days to recooperate.  I'm back to my regular ol' mattress.  Gave the topper way and they love it.
