  I purchased this topper for my toddler son’s full size bed. His mattress is very firm, and I end up sleeping next to him part of the night most nights. Every day I’d wake up stiff and sore. After researching dozens of memory foam toppers, I selected the Foamex Aerus 2″ cooler sleep topper with velour cover. The Foamex Web site says their foam has better airflow and captures less heat than other foam.

  Topper arrived yesterday — and I love it already! The full size completely covers the bed (some toppers are cut smaller). The white cover, once washed, is very soft and a perfect fit. The 3 sided zipper makes it easy to insert the topper. The foam is a pale blue-green due to a special eco-friendly manufacturing process. It had almost zero odor, so I was able to put it on the bed right away. This particular topper has a 3 lb density.

  I slept great last night (and my son is still sleeping!) — this topper really transformed the bed. It may now be as comfy as our $1700 Heavenly Bed (which hopefully I’ll get to spend more time in one day soon). Highly recommended!

  Foamex 2″ Aerus NaturalTM Eco-Friendly, Cooler Sleep, Memory Foam Mattress Topper with Ribbed Knit Terry Velour Cover – Queen Size

  This was a good purchase, however, next time I would go with a thicker pad as we used this on a camping trip and in between matressess. Was cooler than tempurpedic foam but not truly cool. Get the King if you have a queen sized bed/space as it is really a queen size. Knit cover is very nice although a bit difficult to put on so get another pair of hands to help.

  For several years I’ve been sleeping on a wonderfully comfortable 2″ temperature foam mattress topper that I ordered from QVC. It felt like sleeping on a cloud. My only complaint is that I wake up in the middle of the night sweating.
  So when I was replacing my mattress set, I decided to see if there were any cooler foam pads out there. I did some research and settled on the Aerus brand. When I was ordering my new mattress set, the sales manager warned me that sleeping on a new mattress that wasn’t broken in yet, could be uncomfortable for the first few weeks. Well, I put my new Aerus foam topper on it, and slept like a baby the very first night. I haven’t been waking up hot and sweaty at night, and am hoping this continues into the winter when I use more covers. Ironically, the winter was when my previous topper seemed to make me sweat even more. I do have to say that the Aerus isn’t as dense as my other temperature foam pad, and I do prefer the more dense feel. When I’m climbing into bed to read, I feel like it’s like trying to move around in sand, definitely not as easy to maneuver. But once I lay down, it’s very comfortable, and I’m sleeping great. I’ve got the sleeping on a cloud feeling without the excessive heat. What more can you ask for!

  Ordering the 2 inch topper was a mistake. It does not feel any different. If you are planning to purchase a topper, I would suggest a 3″ topper. It did not smell at all, neither did the cover. It was easy to place in the cover and I like having the extra cover for laundering.

  This is a great product. It is as soft and comforting as the description makes it out to be. One thing though.. If you have a chemical sensitivity you will not be able to use this mattress for months because of the smell. (voc’s)

  Feels like my bf’s $1000 bed. But it comes with a chemical smell and it is strong. The smell seems to be fating after 2 weeks of opening it. But it is still there. Be prepare to have a long period of time of waiting before actually putting it to your bed.

  Also, about the size. I thought it is too short for a twin as well. But my bf told me my dorm bed is an extra long twin. So that might be the reason for the complain of length.

  I recently purchased this product for my elderly grandmother, who was having trouble sleeping due to arthritis. She adores it, and says she is getting the best sleep she’s had in years. She is now able to rest comfortably in any position, and has stopped tossing and turning. This product is definitely one of the best purchases I have ever made!

  I got one of these things used from my mom, so I didn’t get a chance to smell the VOC’s when it was new. Then I moved cross country and left my foam topper on the other side of the US (Pacific Coast). I just bought one from another retailer (C*stc0) and it smelled to Formaldehyde.

  I remember Formaldehyde was used in the older formulations of paint I made at work. The Formaldehyde is used as a Fungicide or Biocide to deter bio-contamination. So let it air out (or ‘off-gas’ as we say in chemistry) outside before you use it.

  I bought it because it was so great to sleep on and my back missed it sooo much. It made my bed very comfortable, so it was hard form me to kick people off the bed when I wanted to sleep! So I had to give it 4 stars instead of 5 stars.

  Now that I’m on the East Coast my back was killing me and I went to purchase the foam topper. I missed it soo much that I don’t mind the Formaldehyde smell… after I let it air out.

  College daughters loved this for on top of the standard dorm mattress. Very comfortable and good value for the price. Highly recommend using it with an extra padded mattress pad.

  My son had back surgery two years ago. This fall he became a freshman in college & the beds were extremely uncomfortable. With this memory foam mattress enhancer he is able to sleep comfortably & wakes without pain.

  This mattress has definitely improved the pain in my upper back and neck. But it is difficult to sit on it as it sinks it too much. And also very difficult to change positions if you do that while sleeping.

  But a great bonus for us was the nice big box it was sent in. The box packaging the foam was covered by another huge box. It is quite sturdy and we are now using it as a convenient table for keeping stuff/eating. It is rigid and spacious. In retrospect, this box is coming in more handy than the foam mattress itself so we are very happy. Highly recommended !
