LinenspaMemory Foam Mattress Topper - 2 Inch Gel Infused Memory Foam - Plush Feel - Cooling and Pressure Relieving - CertiPUR Certified - Dorm Room Essentials - Queen Size

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 have a Casper hybrid bed that in my opinion was ever so slightly hard for me but supported my back and sleep the way I needed it after injuries. I was going back and forth for a while on getting a different softer mattress, or trying a topper to see if that helped.I remember growing up my mom had one of the egg crate style toppers, and I was looking for something slightly different than that. I found this one while various thickness sizes that shows it is gel and would be cooler. I also like the memory foam appeal for a comfy fitted/soft sleep. I went with the 2 inch thinking that would probably be just enough to be soft, but not totally change the feel of the bed or me just sink into the top. As a rotating rotisserie chicken side sleeper, I still need to be able to move around and not be a mummy in a tomb.2 inches was perfect, it is so nice and plush but not too much. I had some of the best sleep ever adding this topper over the bed. I did not overheat or feel any sweat issues as I've used this over the past few months. It didn't have an odor and it fluffed up pretty quickly. I recommend it as a lower cost but very soft/comfy luxurious feeling topper. If you're looking for extra extra soft I would say maybe go up an inch if you have a harder bed. 2 inches was perfect and I recommended it to my parents for their master bedroom as well.

I waited until I used it for a couple of months before reporting. I am using it over my queen Sleep Number bed. The original foam internal cover for the mattress bladders failed and I had a new foam replacement made that was slightly firmer than the original perforated one. It should last longer, but is firmer and I was waking up with a sore lower back often. After a lot of research, I bought this topper to soften up the feel.My back is much happier! I sink into it very comfortably and it feels like a nice warm hug!I did air it out for a few days, but I never sensed any plastic smells. I am completely happy with the topper, the price, and the sleep improvements it has provided.
