My old mattress was hard and lumpy. My back was killing me. Faced with disposing of the old mattress and replacing it with a pillow-top style for hundreds of dollars and hours of labor or buying a piece of foam to put on top for the fraction of the price, I went this route.

The 1.5 inch thickness allowed me to tuck it under my fitted sheet. Although these foam toppers can be many times thicker, I have never felt like it was bottoming out. This is the perfect thickness. As soon as I tried it out, my eyes closed and I felt so relaxed. Unlike an ordinary mattress, my weight is more evenly distributed. I don't feel pressure points and flat spots. My back felt better after only one night. As far as comparing memory foam to a pillow top mattress, it's a tough call. Pillow top is a bit more firm.

Other foam products have received negative reviews for the odor. I suppose any new foam product will have a slight odor to it. This one had a "new car" type of smell to it and the manufacturer says it will dissipate in a few days - but, I don't find it all that bad.

For the price, this can be replaced every few years if it becomes stained or ripped.

This was my first purchase from Amazon.com and I am very pleased. I purchased two queen size 1 1/2" Aerus mattress toppers for our guest rooms. The price was extremely reasonable and the shipping was free. Each guest mattress is firm and older but still in good condition. The memory foam was cut true to size and completely covered each mattress. I slept on one to try it out. The topper has greatly improved the quality of my sleep on this older mattress. It conformed to my body's shape giving wonderful soft feeling comfort and support and sprang back to its original shape when I got up. It was like a new mattress. Our guests may never want to go home!

"NaturalTM Eco-Friendly, Cooler Sleep" blah blah there's nothing natural, eco-friendly or cooler sleep about this pad. it's regular cheap low density viscoelastic foam and it's just the right thickness for me. 2-3" is too soft. i wish it was higher density but it would be more expensive. i don't feel any cooler or warmer with this pad than with any other pad i've had in the past. no problems with odor. it's the right size, as advertised, unlike some other brands.

I bought this 1.5 inch pad because my mattress (5 years old) which I bought when I moved here but wasn't sure how long I would stay, is not super-great. I wanted a somewhat softer surface. Since I live in "rural" Alaska, a new mattress was $$$$$ so I thought I'd get a pad w/ free shipping and see if it helped. I also wanted a pad that would fit under my current mattress pad and sheets. My choice was limited by what would free-ship to Alaska (more restricted than free-shipping to the lower 48.

When I received this 1 1/2 inch pad, I was taken aback - it was wound up in a package so tightly some parts were compressed to less than half an inch. It had creases and seams in it from the folding and rolling. I unrolled it (with some effort since it had to be unpeeled carefully as it was so compressed that parts were sticking to each other).

So I mentally composed my letter complaining about it, believing that there was no way on Earth that it could uncompress or that those seams would disappear, and left it alone. Three hours later I came back and it had totally uncompressed and relaxed! Every part was 1 1/2 inch as advertised and there were no visible seams! It was a miracle!

I ended up with a 1 1/2 inch pad, perfectly fitted to my Queen size mattress. It is easily compressed but recovers 100%. It does compress easily (but recovers). I "hit bottom" on it when sitting up in bed or lying on my side when my hip "hits bottom". But it does provide more cushion so my shoulder, and probably hips but to a lesser extent, are more cushioned. I seem to be sleeping more restfully since it is more comfy when I toss and turn.

So - not perfect, but reminiscent of "padded" mattresses - and worth it for the price for me (including free shipping to "rural" Alaska). So I give it 4 stars because based on the price etc. I really didn't expect more. It didn't quote a foam rating so maybe those who can get better values shipped to other states might fare better, but this works as a mattress pad to enhance my current mattress.

Oh - and it did have a slight "chemical smell" like a household cleaner when first unwrapped. It is slowly disappearing (I have to bury my nose in it to smell it after the first few days).

This is NOT the same mattress topper as it used to be! My parents have one at their house, which I sleep on frequently and love, and the one I received is not the same. Theirs is a light blue/green color and has a totally different feel (they ordered theirs about a year ago). They also said theirs did not smell when they unpacked it. Mine is an off-white color, had a terrible smell, and when I first slept on it last night, I woke up with my back in knots. It is NOT made from natural materials, because when I unpacked it, the packing slip said it was just polyurethane.

I will be returning this product, which Amazon should know is no longer as advertised!!! Buyer beware.

I spent more than I would have on a cheap foam mattress pad because I liked the description of the eco product, open cell design and so on. What I received for $49 was a standard beige mattress pad with all the air sucked out of it. I've tried this type before. I knew better than to attempt to pry this cheap substitute apart - the cheap ones tear. I decided to come read all the reviews. It seems that Foamex once had a good product but is now substituting that product with this cheap standard pad you can buy here and elsewhere for about $20 and it isn't worth even that price.

Look, this is inexpensive memory foam. Having purchased enough of the stuff I can say that it is great for the reason I purchased it. People need to understand that his is NOT the best memory foam. As stated by someone else, it is approximately 3.3 pound density. And because I was not willing to spend a lot on a mattress pad for a guest room at my Parent's house ( I am in this bed maybe 10 times a year) it will do nicely. The bed in question currently has an insufficient egg shell foam pad that will greatly be enhanced with this current pad. If you want to buy a pad for a bed that has no padding, that you sleep on every night...this may not be for you. For that you need 5.5 pound density and you will pay anywhere between $79 and $119 not including delivery for that. You also need at least 2 inches. Don't get me wrong, I am sure people find this product great compared to nothing and it is...but for a little bit more money, you should pay more for something as important as a good night's rest. I do take issue with the people who say that this foam is terrible, as it is not.

The dimensions of the piece I received today are accurate and the smell is very minor in comparison to what I have run into in the past.

Lastly, it is just a fact of life that foam manufacturers go out of their way NOT to tell you the actual density. On sale here at Amazon is a product that markets itself as 5.5, leading you to believe that is the density when it isn't. With this product you can figure it out by multiplying the dimensions of the pad, then divide tht by 1728 to get the cubic footage. Then divide that result into the weight.

But, for $40 and no delivery? A good deal as an enhancer to less than adequate padding already in place.

I bought this topper to make the bed in our travel camper more comfortable without spending the money to replace the mattress all together. It worked very well. My husband said that the difference was night and day. He slept better and woke up with less stiffness than before. I initially agreed with him but I have a very bad back (two surgeries and no improvement) and it still left me stiff after sleeping on it for about eight hours. It is still a big improvement to me because I couldn't even sleep on the mattress before. In summary for most people I think this will do the job it is supposed to do and do it well.

Only had it 2 weeks but so far I love it. 1.5 is a great size because it fits under my bedding no problem. Best part is it doesn't shift around and slide on my mattress like my old mattress topper.

I had trouble deciding which one to buy with all the choices out there, so I simple love my new 1.5" Aerus NaturalTM Eco-Friendly, Cooler Sleep, Memory Foam Mattress Topper - Queen Size
I was having trouble falling asleep and then waking up at 3:00 AM., always feeling so uncomfortable. I didn't have to buy a new bed to get a good nights sleep. I am an older woman and now I sleep like a baby, the 1.5 thickness is just right and the price is better than other ones I looked at on-line and in stores.
A very happy and well rested sleeper. P.S. my husband likes it too.
