After two decades in the wholesale photographic industry I decided to move on and soon ended up in the mattress business (I know, makes a lot of sense, doesn't it?). In the last 10 years I have worked for both a manufacturer and two of the largest retailers of high-end bedding products.

Many people come into a mattress store looking for foam "toppers" thinking that it will improve the quality of their sleep. One thing to keep in mind is that if your mattress has lost it's SUPPORT a topper won't do you much good. However, if your mattress is too hard (or "firm") a high quality topper could do the trick.

The first thing that caught my attention after receiving this topper was how much it weighed. Even my Fed-Ex person made a comment about it being heavy. All foam products are like cakes or bread; they may have the same ingredients but it's the recipe that determines whether it turns out light or dense. I liked the feel of this 3 lb... Read more

When I was easily able to pick up the lightweight box I knew this was going to be trouble. In short, the pictures give a misleading appearance of thick foam on top of a two-inch memory foam topper. The reality is the polyester "fiber fill" is not even close to the two-inches of claimed thickness (my comforter has more fill) and the fiber will flatten to nothing in less than a week. What you are left with is simply a two-inch topper at a four-inch price.

The foam itself is okay but not fantastic. At three-pound density it's soft and lightweight and the new foam smell went away in a week. On the other hand I sink through it easily at 190lbs. I want support from a topper so I tend to look for thicker, higher density toppers; usually four-inch thick, 5lb density foam. High quality 5lb foams will be supportive without being rock hard. This topper is best if you are lightweight or the pillowtop on your mattress has flattened and you just want that sinking-in feeling... Read more

This is a good quality mattress topper for the price. It consists of a foam layer and a quilted cover which fits around the foam with a zipper. The foam arrives tightly wrapped in a plastic sheet. You cut this sheet away carefully so as not to cut the foam. When the foam unwraps you'll see it also has a thinn fabric cover. You tear that off and discard it. You then leave the foam for 72 hours. During that time the odor dissipates (it took about 24 hours with mine) and the foam expands to its full 2" thickness. You then fit the quilted cover around it. Nothing too difficult.

The stated thickness of 4" is misleading because the quilt does not fluff up to 2". You may get around 3" in total. But it is wonderfully comfortable. I shall use it on a sofa bed, where it will supplement a very thin mattress, when I have guests. It is somewhat bulky to store, but less so than the duvet, so I think I shall manage. You could even put it on the floor for youngsters to use,... Read more
