LINENSPA Memory Foam Mattress Topper - 2 Inch Gel Infused Memory Foam - Plush Feel - Cooling and Pressure Relieving - CertiPUR Certified - Dorm Room Essentials - Full SizeOEKO-TEX STANDARD 100

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.

This mattress did the trick for my hard bed. Without the topper my back was always hurting and my muscles were always sore upon waking up. After getting this topper I'm glad to say that it helped soo much! The quality is great, it's durable and fairly soft. The color is nice and it doesn't come apart like some toppers do. It didn't have a weird smell when I opened it, just regular. I didn't wait the 24 hours because I was too excited to try it out but it still worked well and is nice to sleep on. Overall a great purchase and I would definitely buy again!

I really liked the memory foam topper for my air mattress, but I did have a couple small problems with it.The Bad:The first 3-5 days with the topper, it had a chemical/mildew-like smell that honestly had me consider returning it, in spite of the multiple silica desiccant packets in its sealed plastic. The odor has since vanished, so it definitely isn't a mold or mildew -- but I would definitely air it out a day or two before you try and use it. Additionally, I find the foam holds body heat, so I don't think it's the best immediate solution for staying cooler during hot summer nights -- unless you have a cooling blanket to drop over it. The Good:This memory foam topper is COMFORTABLE. I suffer from intermittent insomnia and I sleep both restlessly and wiggly; I have had an easier time sleeping through the night with this in place. Also, it doesn't slide or shift like many other mattress toppers have for me before. It also works amazingly well as additional protection from my cats' claws -- no more real snags when they join me for a morning cuddle: it's 2-2.5 inches thick, making a wonderful cushion of softness while also keeping my bed at the firmness I like without wrecking my back.Overall? I had a rough start with the topper, but it has definitely proven itself worth the cost. It's soft, it's comfortable, it's just thick enough, I actually sleep through the night more often than not with the foam topper in place, and it's made sleeping in the summer possible without A/C (when used with a cooling blanket). I don't think I'll need to buy it again any time soon, but I would.
