has anyone ever used one of these. i've been thinking about buying one and almost bought a topper at target, but decided not to until i can hear some genuine testimony on it.

post your opinions if youve got 'em

6/2/2008 1:35:36 PM

i want to get a tempurpedic when i can afford it (after the wedding)

6/2/2008 1:36:03 PM

hmm

i'd like to know how the toppers compare

6/2/2008 1:37:30 PM

they make you hot as fuck.

they are fairly comfortable once you get used to the lack of springs, but I always have trouble sleeping in one because it seems to trap body heat too much.

6/2/2008 1:39:55 PM

that explains the "neutral temp material" i kept seeing all over the packaging.

6/2/2008 1:42:07 PM

I own a tempurpedic bed, and yeah, it gets a bit warm. Still comfortable as hell, especially in the winter.

6/2/2008 1:48:04 PM

Yea, I had one - had to return it cause I was overheating. freaking HOT up in that sucker. Even with a queen bed to myself there are only so many ways you can turn before the mattress just gets WAY too hot.

However those Simmons Beautyrest - the expensive ones - are freaking AMAZING. not cheap though.

6/2/2008 1:59:33 PM

okay then

of the different mattress topper things

which is the best

6/2/2008 2:00:25 PM

I just got a mem. foam mattress. I haven't noticed the heat problem that people say usually accompanies these kinds of mattresses, and I was concerned because I'm a hot sleeper for the most part.
What I've found more than anything is that I got one expecting to see a reduction on lower back pain when I wake up in the morning, but that hasn't happened. In fact, I've noticed an increase. It actually seems too soft. I cant say I'm 100% pleased with the purchase. Just my experience. You might have a more positive one.

Also, my side of the bed seems really really soft and I sink in while my fiancee's side seems more firm and I like it better.

6/2/2008 2:01:51 PM

This is good to know. I'd pondered someday getting one of these, but I already get hot at night. Time to scratch that off my list.

6/2/2008 2:02:59 PM

not often do useful, serious threads like this show up in chit chat. lounge, IMO.

but yeah -- i've heard some people complain about the heating issue. i dont particularly like to be hot while i'm sleeping so i think i can survive with just a mattress pad for now.

6/2/2008 2:04:46 PM

tempurpedic FTW

6/2/2008 2:06:26 PM

they're not good for sex either imo

6/2/2008 6:02:18 PM

My husband and I bought a topper about 6 months ago. It felt awesome at first and still does, but I have noticed that the foam has started to thin out where we normally lay each night, so if you want to move out of that area, you tend to roll back into where the foam is thinner. Other than that I would totally recommend one.

6/2/2008 6:04:59 PM

that stuff feels too much like human skin for my comfort.

6/2/2008 6:06:40 PM

The toppers are just a dumb idea.

6/2/2008 6:13:42 PM

They're terrible for sex

I'm an athletic fucker..I don't believe in just laying there and doing the old in-out in-out

If all you basically do is standard mish, it'd be OK

but I'm all about different moves and coming in from non-traditional angles

Lots of hip work...real porn star shit

I need springs to counterbalance my shit, and a waterbed or the memory foam just doesn't work for me

6/2/2008 6:21:18 PM

Do they remember that uggo you fucked two months ago?

6/2/2008 6:58:40 PM

I bought a topper off of overstock.com for my king size bed for 140 and it's tits. I don't know about the shitty fucker(s) that said sex on it sucks but I can bury bone like a dog on it without a problem.

we have a king size tempurpedic. it cost 4 grand but it was the best purchase we've made. back pain- gone. it makes me snore though, i'm still trying to figure out how to fix that. i never snored on my old mattress! it isn't awkward for sex- even for 'untraditional' positions. no annoying squeaking when it gets hot and heavy either. we have high thread count sheets and neither of us have gotten too hot on it.

6/2/2008 10:06:27 PM

they make me sweat too much

6/2/2008 10:06:56 PM

im just afraid that ill get too hot on one to pull the trigger

6/2/2008 10:22:01 PM

BIG DISCLAIMER: we don't have one but I've done some research on them.

Seems like even the fancy ones only have a few inches of the actual 'memory foam' - the core of the mattress is much harder (for support). So you could conceivably get the same benefit from a topper for a fraction of the cost. We got a 1.5" topper from overstock and it's comfortable, but got indented pretty quickly. It bought us some time before having to get a new mattress, though, and it won't cost much to replace it with a nicer topper if we decide to go that route.

6/2/2008 10:35:43 PM

I have fibromyalgia and I was advised not to get one of those if you already have back pain. We have a simmons beautyrest and that thing is the best mattress I have ever slept on.

6/2/2008 10:45:53 PM

I got a king size Ultra Plush Foam from original mattress factory, and I have to say, my back doesn't hurt anymore when I wake up. And I can't feel the wife roll over in the night or even get out of bed in the morning. Plus it doesn't weigh much, so when its time to move, I can carry it myself.

I have the 3" topper. It really let me stretch a few more years out of my mattress when I started to think about replacing it. I plan to buy a king sized bed at some point this year and I'll probably look at the memoryfoam mattresses when I do.

6/2/2008 11:14:59 PM

i have a memory foam bed and every morning when i wake up with the morning wood, i get up, go to the bathroom, and come back and i still see its imprint. def worth having...A+
