Since we’ve only slept on the topper one night, I can’t really give a review but it was comfortable. Vince said it made a big difference for him. I can sleep on about anything except a saggy mattress so I thought it was fine.
With the topper, it’s all about 34″ off the floor and for both of us with short legs, it’s a comedy show getting in bed. Last night I used the step stool but Vince got in without it. He reached over and was going to grab me for leverage and pull himself into the bed but all he did was pull me over to the edge. We were laughing so hard and I was kinda wishing we had a waterproof cover on that mattress topper. A few more funny moves by Vince and we could have had a disaster! 🙂
This is the box ours came in. We got it at Sam’s. If you’re not a Sam’s Club member, here’s a link to what looks very similar on Amazon. I think this is the Sam’s Club link.
My only request was that it not be hot because foam usually has me melting down after about 10 minutes. It says “Cool Sleep” so that sold me.
The 3″ piece of foam goes into a zippered “cover” and that has supposedly a 1″ cotton pad (I didn’t measure any of it) so underneath the sheet, you actually have the cotton between you and the foam.
We had the thermostat on 70 the first night we were here and about froze. The master bedroom has two vents, the master bath has two vents and the master closet has one or two vents so there’s a whole lot of a/c going into that room. I like it but it has taken us a few nights to find just the right temp. Last night we left it on 72. Vince said that was comfortable for him and I was fine with it so hopefully, we’ve found the right spot . . at least for the summer months.

Thanks for the review! Looks nice and comfy.

I’ve hesitated about getting a new mattress because common advice is not to get it too hard, but I think I like quite firm better (and firmer than my husband). Does a 4-inch thick mattress topper usurp the benefits of a firm mattress?

No. Our bed at home needs to take a ride to the dump. As soon as Vince lays down, there’s a big dip and I can’t keep from ended up right next to him (which isn’t always a problem). The new bed, the topper just makes it a bit softer but there’s no sinking in and I don’t find myself hanging on to the edge to keep from being on top of Vince.

You make me laugh, as I am going through the very same thing….I just put a new topper on our bed, which was high to begin with……we are in our early 80’s , so everything we do is harder & we are both short….so every night getting into bed is a real adventure…..But my husband likes it , so I guess it stays……

I have one of those extra thick mattresses and I don’t think this would work for me! Sounds great though!!

Try latex mattress toppers ~ I had 4 back surgeries & they’re the best .Cooling , due to the latex no mold , mites etc ….

I laughed so hard at the paragraph about getting into bed.
Judy Laquidara says
It was pretty funny!

We got this same topper for our camper mattress last summer and it has been amazing. I couldn’t stand the smell at first, but it’s gone now and we both sleep much better.
