I bought this two days ago.
My wife had to have it, and wanted to put this on our 12 year old mattress. This was a innerspring pillow top in king size. It was 14” deep. I thought it would be better to get a new mattress. I wound up buying a Serra sleep to go from Sams.
We both like the mattress, I will do a review on the mattress there. My wife felt like she was missing the pillow top feel, and a friend recommended a topper like this one.
I did the research before buying the mattress, and we had decided on this one, so this decision had already been made. After using the new mattress, my wife still wanted this topper.
I went and got this, on sale $30 off. I got it Home and was surprised it was 2 pieces, I must have missed it somewhere. Not a problem, just an fyi. The memory foam is just a bare slab of and off white memory foam at 3” thick and about the size of your bed. It’s about an inch larger all the way around the bed, sides and length. At least this was my experience and I had seen that in a couple reviews. The actual pad part is like a fitted sheet. This one felt awesome on the top, it will cover about 21” it looks like. So this should go over a 16 or 17” mattress. The pad has a small amount of foam and fiber fill.
The truth in in the feeling for you. To lay on it, I definitely sunk down into this thing. More so when the pad isn’t used. Not a really bad thing, it actually felt good, this is wrapping you up like a marshmallow.
It seemed to give support, while being really soft at the same time. I would think a back sleeper, side sleeper, stomach, or combo, like myself could do well with this. I am thinking this would probably work better for us on a firm, non pillow top innerspring mattress. Your mileage may vary.
The bottom line, I returned it today. That’s the good news, I felt like this thing was very well made, and with a 10 year warranty, the quality is there. It just wasn’t for us. I could go either way, but happy wife, happy life. i did feel like it was too much on top of the memory foam mattress we just bought.
The cons for us, it slept hotter than the mattress, it felt like my old mattress, which slept hot. It was just too much of a sinking feeling. Also the sheets are an issue. I had bout 2 $100 sheet sets recently, got the deep pocket ones, and they still were too small. The extra 4 inches was too much.
The best thing is that sams gave a refund with no questions about it. We got to buy it, planning to keep it and have the ultimate bed and wound up returning it the next day.
If your thinking your pains need a new bed, I would try this. The quality is very good.
