  This is a terrific buy and a great topper. It is the best I’ve seen (and used).

  Product arrived okay but topper was, and still is, too smelly with chemical odors to use. Topper was stained when it arrived. Topper does not go to edge of mattress. Bad product, needs to be removed. I would not recommend buying this product. A waste of $125.00.

  We have this on our queen bed, which mattress was good but now feels a bit too hard to our aging backs and has saggy spots. This foam topper fixes both issues, as is to be expected. The 3-inch is a good size and it’s a pleasure to sleep — or more appropriately “to sink” — in it every night. At 2.5 lb/cubic ft, the density is medium, which is good enough.

  The foam arrived rolled in a big box. It was not as compressed as I thought — some reviews make you think it’s compressed in a dark hole and then will expand to fill your whole house… it’s not that dramatic!

  However the smell of new foam toppers is a known issue — all foams I’ve seen do that anyway, it’s not just that one. The original smell is not only nauseating, it gives me immediate headaches. I can’t stress that enough: you must let the mattress air and expand in a *ventilated* non-living area for at least 2 or 3 days before using it. Don’t rush it — in case of doubt, let it air one more day rather than be deceived by the chemical smell, as it will be nauseating at first. Put it somewhere out of sight in a ventilated area, such as in the basement or the garage. If after 3 days you can stick your nose on it and not feel the urge to run away fast, then you can consider moving it in the bedroom.
  After a month or so of use, there’s still a slight curious smell the first time I’d get in bed, but nothing dramatic. It’s such a pleasure to fall asleep and wake up on that thing, it’s totally worth it.

  Wondering if we are all reviewing the same product!!
  As usual with Amazon, delivered very promptly with no hassle!!
  Had the Febreeze on standby, as I was expecting an awful smell…opened the box…..no smell. Thought maybe it had to be unwrapped to experience the smell….unwrapped it…no smell.
  Expected it to be a wadded up mess….it wasn’t. It was neatly rolled and it just as neatly unrolled….fit my king size bed perfectly.
  Of course I read the measurements beforehand, then measured my own bed, and was satisfied that it would be a perfect fit if their measurements were true. They were.
  I opened it immediately to get it on the bed ASAP when I got home from work, so it would have plenty of time to do whatever it needed to do so I could sleep on it tonight….heck I could sleep on it 5 minutes after putting it on the bed, only because it takes that long to get the sheets and everything on it.
  Wanted to write this part of it while it was all still fresh in my mind, and will update with a comfort review later.
  But so far, so good!!

  This mattress topper is fantastic. It fits the bed perfectly.
  You will notice, it does make your mattress quite a bit higher than it was. I really noticed this, and so did my small dogs. Took them a little while to get used it.
  I’m using this on a sleep number bed, and this is just the cherry on top.

  I have to admit, I was hesitant to purchase this. I’m a skeptic by nature, and could only find one review to go off of, but I took a chance and ordered it anyway. I have a great mattress which I purchased many years ago. Unfortunately, it’s very firm , which was my preference at the time, but now I find I need a softer bed. This topper is saving me from buying a brand new mattress. Definitely worth the money.

  I bought this to soften a bed given by my apartment complex. It is truly amazing! It’s very soft, I feel like I’m sleeping on air. The packaging was a little bit of a pain to open (they had vacuum wrapped it). But other than that I am extremely pleased! I do recommend laying it on the floor for at least a few hours to flatten out, if not over night. But I have no bumps or wrinkles on mine! I would totally buy again.

  Ask any pediatrician- There is a reason crib mattresses are as firm and uncushionaed as they are. It’s so that when your baby rolls over in their sleep, they do not smother themselves. I can’t believe somebody actually lacked the common sense and/or decency to create and market this for crib use. While this may be fine in a 2/yo toddler’s bed, it has no place whatsoever in a baby’s crib.

  This pad is perfectly safe for babies, I’m sure the other reviewer hasn’t actually seen one. No one is more paranoid than I am about this, believe me. This pad is only two inches thick – not like the 6″ mattress toppers the other reviewer is likely thinking of – and once you add a mattress pad and sheet over it, the surface doesn’t sink down enough to trap a baby’s nose. It’s a little hard to explain, but if you have a memory foam mattress, you’ll know what I mean when I say the “sinkability” goes down once you add a mattress pad and sheet over it.

  I tested the safety of the pad by watching both my twin daughters with their faces planted directly nose-down, and still they could breathe without any hindrance. So as you can imagine the padding isn’t much, but it still does help baby to sleep more comfortably.

  I have one pad already, and just purchased a second. The girls sleep soundly on this pad – typically 10-11 hours straight – whereas they wake up every hour with their unpadded crib mattress. It’s just too uncomfortable for them. You can see why I had to buy a second one of these!

  I think we own the worst mattress ever produced but this makes it feel like a top of the line mattress! I definitely recommend it to everyone! The two contour pillows are very nice too! Now we can’t sleep without it on our bed! And my pregnant wife was having hip issues and couldn’t sleep without this thing. It was a life saver!

  You spend more time sleeping than any other single activities in life. So I say it is important you get the quality you deserve from it.

  I am an athlete, so I do a lot of deadlifts, power cleans, and exercises that put a lot of stress on my body, especially the lower back. These foams are great. When you lie down, it completely molds your body, so there is not so much rigidness and tension working against your body, which make you feel sore and unrested waking up in the morning. And let’s all be honest, these are much price friendly than tempurpedic. They are also great if you have over night guests. Rather than putting people on the couch, put these on the floor. They make a great bed just themselves.

  My wife was 5 months pregnant and starting to get a little uncomfortable while sleeping. A friend of mine bought one for his wife while she was pregnant and really made a difference for her (and him.) We got the pad and my wife immediately began to sleep better, and continued to do so for the rest of the pregnancy.

  As good as it was to begin with, after my wife came home it was almost too good. Having little strength, it was a little too hard to push out of the foam and was also difficult to nurse, so since then the pad has been been in the basement, occassionally being thrown on the floor as an extra mattress when we have guests. If I had to make the purchase over again, I would go for the 2″ rather than the 3″, but I’m giving four stars because it did do the job for which it was purchased for.

  I have a very stiff mattress. This foam pad worked really well with my stiff mattress. The only problem I have with it is that the foam moves around and I need to realign it with my bed every other day and my bed sheets always end up wrapping itself around the pad itself.

  I do recommend this pad to anyone looking for a pad to soften their mattress. It was money well spent
