As far as comfort, the matress topper is good....The down side is the topper shifts on the matress. There should be expandible corner ties or a material like velcro that would hold onto the matress and keep it in place. It becomes frustrating to realign the topper every morning. Bottom line, I should have returned it to Temperpedic if they would allow.
The cooling pad could be a little cooler, but instead of having to replace our mattress this topper did just fine for getting us a better night's sleep.
I've spent so much money constantly buying mattress toppers and then having them go flat or be too hot. They feel great, for a bit. But no matter which gel infused one I bought, they were always hot. Finally decided to try this and it was the best decision we've made. I have been bedridden due to multiple medical problems with my brain and am unable to be up. I'm out of work so I couldn't afford an actual temperpedic bed. This was our next best choice and being in bed 24/7, I can tell you that it's been so much easier on my back and body to be in bed all day. Still want to get the full bed set up one day, but if you can't afford it and are looking for the next best thing, this is it. It's also the coolest sleep we have ever experienced with a mattress topper. We did buy the cooling topper to go with it. My husband wasn't sleeping at night due to the stress of my medical condition. But the comfortable bed has helped him finally get some sleep. It's like all of his troubles float away. Get it, you won't regret it. I rarely leave reviews but rely so heavily on them, I felt this topper deserved a review!
It's comfortable but about 2" too short on one side and an inch too short on another. It also doesn't fit properly in the cover. Tight on one corner and loose on the other. Also, IDK if we were sent the non-cooling topper by accident but there is absolutely no cooling feeling. I'd say save your money and don't spring for that "upgrade". Keeping it bc it would be a tremendous pain to return. Not the worst topper ever but our Molecule was better. Thought we're were trading up...
