  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.

  This mattress pad has held up well since we bought it about 2 months ago. It is however almost too thick, I think I would go down an inch in the future. The topper often times has to be readjusted because it starts to shift on the mattress, so make sure you have a deep pocket mattress pad and well fitting sheets to help keep the topper in place. Don’t expect to use the cover that comes with the topper for anything more than an extra layer to protect the foam it will not cover the mattress.

  For the price this product is ok. We have had ours for about 9 months now, and you can tell where we sleep on it. It has conformed to our bodies. It is very soft and provides lots of cushion. I wouldnt say its the best bed topper, but if being used for a guest room, it would be fine.

  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 (12×12x12) = 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.

  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.

  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 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!

  Hi its actually not a review but a question to anyone who has purchased this product. It shipped by DHL but it came within a standarad Brown packing box with no warranty card or anything. The foam was wrapped in polythene along with the cover. I was expecting it in a box with the brand name and a warranty card like the same way you purchase from any store. I am not sure whether its a new one or a refurbished /old one. let me know if anyone got it the same way.

  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.

  I actually bought this mattress on overstock for about 79 dollars…make sure you buy one size up then cut the excess with a sharp kitchen knife. This topper is not too soft, not too firm. If you have bad joints from RA or some other medical condition, I would highly recommend a memory foam topper. It relieves any pressure off the joint so that you don’t “feel” the mattress underneath you.

  I got this with free shipping and a $25 off promotional deal and I wake up rested rather than achey and in pain. My mattress is SO old that sometimes you’re just laying there and all of a sudden a spring pops. I would wake up with back ache and pain, and not rested at all.

  This topper makes a world of a difference, and I don’t know how I would sleep without it now, but I gave it three stars because the jerks at Serta force you to buy one size up resulting in more revenue for them. I have a queen size but I had to purchase a king size topper, and it still doesn’t even fit right. You are going to be short on either the head/foot, or the sides of your mattress.
  I’m not that tall, so I covered my mattress with it so that the head/foot would be short a couple inches on each end. The best part is, the damn thing overlaps on the sides, so this may not work well for you if your sheets already fit your mattress tightly.

  I don’t know where these Serta geniuses got their sizing pattern from, but it’s not very efficiently done. How hard is it to just get the sizing right? Effing jerks.

  I purchased this topper in the 1st part of January. It is comfortable to sleep on and the “chemical” odor disappeared within 24 hours of airing. The downside to the mattress is, it does not hold up to active sleeping. The topper is splitting in two areas. I would have expected it to hold together longer than two months.

  I love this item and can’t get out of bed now. Make sure you air it out and order a size up as it does not fit if you order the real size!!
