Do you have a memory foam mattress pad top?

[Jennasis]

Where did you get it? How much was it? What thickness? And most important....does it really work for your soar back/hips etc?

Since my surgery I have had many sleepless nights with aches and pains. I think this could help and my mom swears by hers. Any thoughts?

We have a 4" foam mattress topper that I bought several years ago from Overstock.com. I think it makes a big difference!

First, do you have a good mattress (not old or saggy.....)

If you have a good mattress that is too firm for you, then a topper might help.

This is the one we bought...
It is excellent...
And, believe me TWO inches is enough!!!

Unfortunately, the mattress that we bought was not as firm as I had thought... so, together, they were TOO soft... This enabled our bodies to sink too much, and not stay supported in alignment...

It is a fine line to get softness and comfort with strong back support!!!!!

So, we sold our nearly brand new expensive topper.

This one is patented, top of the line, COOL comfort.
It does not get hot...

However, we felt that as we layed on it and it warmed up with body heat, we sank down into a body-impression.. or 'hole'. Others have had this exact same concern/issue. Maybe it comes down to personal preference... But, I thought it felt like sleeping in a mattress that suffered from sagging or body-impression wear.

To be honest, if I were ordering a topper today, I would NOT order a memory foam... I would most DEFINITELY go for a quality Latex topper.

This web-site offers top quality Latex toppers as well.

Hmmm...Thanks WOAS. We may go to Costco tonight and check theirs out. I wonder if they have one "out" to try. Our mattress is in great shape. I wonder if they are returnable...

Just remember that nothing feels better than laying down on a memory foam and feeling that sink-into-comfort AHHHHHHHH!!!! feeling...

If you go to lay on one somewhere.... Just be aware, that 30 minutes later, as it warms up under the covers... you may feel like you have sunk into a hole, feeling like your body is 'curved' as in a hammock....

Personally, I would now choose to go with Latex.

Like the tag-line in the commercials....
A good night's sleep..... PRICELESS!!!!!

I bought the 2 inch memory foam topper from Overstock at a great price.....and it's absolutely heavenly. Our mattress is even 20 years old.

I also have a very nice, thick mattress pad cover that goes over everything, I think it keeps the memory foam much cleaner over time.

IIRC we spend less than $100. for a King size. Best $$$ I ever spent.

I have a 4" and love it!!! I had terrible back trouble but between losing weight and the topper I sleep wonderful.

I just bought the BF one for his bed, he complained after sleeping in mine his stunk. He works in warehousing so always lifting etc... his says after 2 days on my bed his back is like new.

My suggestion is go take a nap at your moms and see if it works for you. I wish I had known someone who had one to try because we bought ours and paid like $200 for it (King size) and it did not help us at all. I had terrible back pain with it and were out $200. If it works for you it can be a great investment, for me it made my back worse.

What people feel good sleeping on varies so much, it's hard to say if it will work for you or not. I also don't think trying it for a few minutes will help much. We just got a new mattress, I laid on it for a half hour and felt it was comfy. I absolutely cannot sleep on it and we are returning it. Thankfully the place is letting us do that. I am sooooo sleepless because of my stupid back, I feel for you!
