I have bought 100's of items from amazon over the years, this is my first review; THAT is how disappointed I am with this product.

I bought this thinking it was a 5.5lb density memory foam mattress. This is definitely NOT the case. It is more like 2lbs per foot dense. A queen size 4" topper is 80" x 60" x 4", thus it is 19,200 Cubic inches. To convert that into feet, divide that figure by 1,728 (12x12x12) = 11.11111 Cubic feet of foam. SO, at 5.5 lbs per cubic feet, this topper should way over 60 pounds. But, shipped, with box and cover, this weighs in at a scant 24 pounds!

For someone looking for a low density memory foam topper, this may be the one. But, for those of us that think the 5.5 used in the advertisement of this topper refers to the density of the foam, they will probably be disappointed.

I bought this overlay in the hope of improving the limited number of hours I get to sleep each night. For the price it is a great deal (it cost about 10% of what an actual Tempur-Pedic overlay would). The foam itself is not quite what I expected; It does not "melt" in response to body heat nearly as much as the tempur foam. That being said, I am very happy with it. The 4" thickness is a lot, which is great for comfort, but can be a problem when it comes to sheets (it made the bed like 50% thicker). Overall, I would recommend this product to anyone needing improved sleep who (like me) does not have $1000 to spend on a mattress pad. It's like I have a whole new bed! And it is so, so comfy!

We ordered this topper to actually go with our existing "generic" memory foam mattress which was a bit on the thin side (an impulse purchase we made when our old high-end spring mattress seemed to be sagging). Our plan had been to place this topper on top of the flipped over existing "generic" memory foam mattress and see how it went. All in all it wasn't a bad idea, but it definitely created a very soft mattress - not so good. After some debate, we decided to try putting this new topper on top of our old high-end mattress and see what happened. Oh. My. Gosh!!!!!!! It is like heaven! Our original mattress was nearly $4,000 - and from what we'd read had begun to break down way too early. This new topper has probably added 5 to 10 more years of use. It is very thick, very comfortable, just great to sleep on!

It truly is the full 4 inches thick. There was very little of the "weird odor" typically associated with memory foam, and something that impressed me was that the entire foam was truly white - none of the yellowing so common with memory foams. Also, straight out of the box, it laid out completely flat within an hour of unpacking it.

The description doesn't make it clear, but the memory foam DOES come with a mattress cover/pad. It is of excellent quality - none of that weird netting-like flimsy side tuff you usually find with an "included" mattress pad. The elastic seems to be nice and strong too and the entire thing wraps very nicely around the memory foam and the existing mattress.

I honestly do not think you will find a better quality memory foam topper and mattress pad for a comparable price anywhere else. If you are in the market for one, this is the one you want. Oh, and added bonus, it shipped and arrived very quickly. We had it within 4 days of placing the order. So kudos to the seller as well. Definitely one of the best purchases we've made this year.

works well for side sleepers
tummy sleepers forget it ... you'll suffocate as you sink into the foam.....

I didn't know exactly what to expect when I purchased this memory foam. The old saying "You get what you pay for" kept running thru my mind. I was pleasantly suprised. DHL delivered 1 week ahead of schedule. The seller has fantastic communication skills. The mattress has a slight oder when first opened. Like it's new smell. I opened it up and laid it flat on my existing mattress. The foam flattened out and expanded to full thickness within a couple of hours. This mattress is a FULL 4" thick piece of 100% Visco Elastic Memory Foam NOT just a thin layer!!!! AMAZING VALUE HERE!! I couldn't have purchased an item of this quality for under $500.00 any where I have looked. Unbelievable Value!! Sooooo Comfortable to sleep on. I wish I'd had this 10years ago. My back and corpal tunnel hands LOVE IT!! Buy yours quick before the seller comes to his/her senses and sells these beauties for more money!!!$$$$$ FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE, The best I've had in a very long time with online shopping! -THANKS!

Wish I had read warranty before buying this memory foam mattress. After 6 months, mattress has lost support and takes a long time to recover shape. We are constantly turning and rotating mattress to try to find an area that still maintains support. E-mailed company, through Amazon, and was told to read warranty. First disclaimer in warranty states that warranty DOES NOT COVER increase in softness or decrease in slow recovery (retaining shape) features. Very poor product.

Received the product in quick fashion, very happy with that. Had to buy extra big sheets to fit it and have them stay on. Seems to move around on mattress so you need to adjust a lot. Took some time to get my back use to the comfort of this but once it was it is great.

Overall I love this product, just took time to adjust which I figure is normal after sleeping on a not so comfy mattress for years.

I would for sure recommend this product, maybe just a thinner one.

I bought this to put on top of the queen mattress in our RV. I love it! Received it as described and laid it out. In about 1/2 hour it was all plumped up. So soft and comfy. Fit perfectly! No odor at all. Wish the cover went all the way around though. Oh well, I am very pleased. I am a stomach sleeper and it works wonderful for me! The customer service is awesome!

I've had it about a month now, to replace the "replaceable" pillow top on my mattress (the "Nautilus" company went belly up, so I can't get a replacement pillow top from them).

The foam topper is already starting to get a permanent dent where I sleep and sit alot with my kids (laptop, bedtime stories, etc). I would hope that the brand name, expensive memory foam wouldn't lose its "memory" so fast - maybe it's just cuz this one was so cheap.

I'm sure that this will come across as slight to some, but after a 24 hour grace period to let the pad expand, it was only 3.5 inches in thickness. I'm not returning the product, but if you are debating on purchasing this item then keep it in mind.
