I got a 2" thick HIGH QUALITY (higher density foam) "eco" memory foam mattress topper a couple years ago and it is amazing. I got the "eco" one because it's not made from petroleum and I was worried about off-gassing. It smelled for about a couple days (but not the vinyl smell) and then stopped. I put it UNDER my mattress pad/mattress protector, just for an extra layer of a cotton barrier on top of the foam. We got a king size for about $90 on Amazon. Our bed is 6 years old, but is a good quality Simmons. We weren't ready to replace it and I was afraid to get another pillowtop just to have the foam collapse again. The springs still provide support, I just needed the memory foam to cushion my body for my hip, back and shoulder pain.
Even if we get a new mattress I would still buy another topper for it. I love it. |
