 If you're looking for great sleep, this is the mattress for you! Aug 30, 2007
By Laurence Nash
"Amazon is the best!"
I had recently moved to California from Hawaii and had been sleeping on my roommate's spare futon mattress. When we moved to another house a few months later, I got a free futon couch frame from a co-worker, and figured that I would get a mattress to make use of it as my bed.
I strained my lower back building the couch frame, and was pretty much out of commission for 2 weeks.
Just to let you know, I'm a pretty athletic guy. I work out everyday, do martial arts, very active lifestyle. I usually get my back pains from these kinds of things.
Sleeping on the new futon mattress I bought was a nightmare. As springy as it was, it didn't give my back the kind of support it needed. I had a hard time getting out of bed for those 2 weeks, let me tell you!
My roommate, seeing me waddle around like an old man, suggested that I get a foam memory topper from Costco. I was a bit reluctant at first, as these things cost over $100. What if the topper wasn't the right one for you? Instead of buying immediately, I decided to do some research to see what would be a good choice for me. Back pain and strain is something I've been afflicted with multiple times. What's a few more days of agony? ;-)
All my research led me to this 6.5 Full 4 Inch Memory Foam Mattress Topper. I was either going to get this or the 5. I decided on the 6.5, as I was afraid that the 5 might be a bit too soft (I've been sleeping on harder beds throughout my life rather than softer).
The mattress came in a small box about the size of a Playstation 3 box about 3-5 days after I ordered it. It was waiting at my front door as I left for work.
I unpacked it, left it out for about 24 hours, applied it to my futon mattress, and then lay on it. I wasn't used to it at all, and ended up tossing and turning for a few hours because of the heat retention. But once I did pass out, I didn't want to wake up! It was the best sleep I've had in a really long time!
I really do look forward to going to bed now, as it really is comfortable.
If you're looking for a topper because of back or body pains, or because you want a good nite's sleep, make sure you research. If you are used to sleeping on harder surfaces, make sure you get a larger pounds per foot number (6.5 vs 5). Thickness is also an important factor. You usually want 3-inches or thicker.
I'm definitely happy with my purchase. And I hope this review helps anyone who needs a foam memory topper to purchase the right one for them.

 Used Foam Pad Nov 12, 2007
By Mel
I received this memory foam in a brown shipping box--it was huge, about 3 ft tall. When I opened it there were no instructions or pamphlet or any information about my purchase. The foam was wrapped in clear plastic with lots of duct tape and it looked like it had been opened and repackaged. I opened the package anyway. When I finally got all the duct tape off and the mattress pad was laid out there were brownish yellow stains all over one side of the pad. Upon closer inspection I also saw some long women's hair all over the topper. Gross. When I read an earlier review about the box arriving in a small box the size of a playstation 3 this confirmed my suspicions that this was a used and returned mattress pad. I thought I was buying something new. No wonder it was 75% off. :( Seems like it is a good except I'm still grossed out that someone else has used it. Shipping was fairly quick. I'm sure if I complained to the company I could get another topper but it's too much work to box this back up and send it to them and wait for a replacement. I'm sure they hope lots of people the same way and don't return it... I'll just clean it up I guess. Also the pillow was packaged like it was new, it's quite small though... probably good for taking somewhere with you to spend the night or camping but not for every night use... it's also very very light.

 A Product Failure Mar 07, 2011
By sleeplessinOhio
I'm an average build guy. I'm 5'10" and 170 Lbs. I bought the product, received the product and unpackaged the product like it said, which was essentially just letting it set for 48 hours before use.
After about the 3rd use, the indention of my body never recovered. The indention actually became permanent. I originally thought that this was normal. However, after continued use, I noticed that my back AND now neck were more sore than before I started using this memory foam. My theory would suggest that when my body falls back into the permanent indention, the effect of having my head and neck "raised" above normal due to the fact that my head would not create an indention, my back and now neck are significantly out of alignment.
I would not recommend this product at all.

Sleep better at College Sep 28, 2008
By Working Mom
"Jan"
We have memory form mattress toppers for most of our beds at home so when it was time for my son to go away to college we of cause decided to buy this 4" memory topper for his bed in the dorm room. It fit perfectly (was the right size for the X-Long Single mattress). My son is loving his new bed away from home. We all sleep better!
