We've been using this mattress topper since last July and like it very much.

We had our doubts, at first, because neither of us can tolerate warm mattresses, and some of the reviews we had read about memory foam in the past few years addressed the fact that memory foam generated too much heat.

But this summer we replaced our spring mattress (which had developed a noticeable ridge in the middle and very uncomfortable wells after only four years of use) with one made from natural latex, which turned out to be a lot firmer than we had expected -to the point of being uncomfortable. We were contemplating returning the, otherwise excellent, mattress when we spotted this mattress topper on sale for a limited time at a warehouse and so we thought we'd give it a try.

Well, even though the weather was still hot and humid, we didn't find the topper uncomfortably warm. It generated a bit more warmth than the latex mattress, but only slightly so we decided to keep... Read more

Note: Foam bedding is not necessarily for everyone. I'd suggest trying it out if you have the option (friends, retail outlet) before making your first investment.

A few years ago, I got a Sleep Innovations 2.0-inch Memory Foam Topper with 260-Thread-Count Cotton Fitted Cover and I fell IN LOVE with it. I had dabbled in fancy mattress pads before, but that one exceeded all expectations. So it seemed only natural to snag this gel topper with the same thickness dimensions as I was already enamored of the Sleep Innovations brand.

When I received this Sleep Innovations product, I immediately removed with my old well-worn cover. I let this one unravel and air out. There is a distinctly chemical smell right out of the box, but this is similar to EVERY other foam brand I have experienced. I let the topper rest for a couple of days as it took shape. If you let it rest properly, you should experience no unpleasant smell upon use. This may be a common issue with... Read more

I got this to allow me to sleep on my side after years of shoulder and neck pain. It is very soft and sinks in right away, alarmingly so. If you have a very firm regular mattress, this will bottom right out giving a too-soft surface... I does feel expensive and plush feeling for memory foam. The cover is shear and doesn't keep the topper from moving around. I noticed quite a few blue gel balls falling off before I got it all zipped up.

The smell on mine was bad at first. Moving to another room just stunk up the whole house. Put it in the garage for a few days and it was tolerable although still smelly through the sheets with your nose right in it.

I woke up sweating hot first 2 nights in a row and added a comforter to separate my body heat from it. 2nd night I moved over to another section of the mattress and compared the temp from it to where I'd been. Let me tell you where I had been sleeping was hot, very warm if you want to be charitable. If you want a... Read more
