I was so excited when I received the topper because it was a gift for my husband that suffers from lower back pain. It was all good the first couple of days, but then the back pains became worse for him and mine had just begun. It's so uncomfortable, not what I expected especially from this well known mattress company.
added topper as I was waking up stiff and with lower back pain, Since the topper arrived great sleep no stiffness and no lower back pain. If I wake up during night I immediately fall back to sleep This did not happen before the topper.
I wasn't sure at time of purchase that a mattress topper would be thick enough to do anything. I'm delighted to say that even the first night brought incredible relief to both knees and hips. By the third night I was sleeping without restlessness and would not experience general stiffness in the morning.
I have been sleeping on a traditional mattress for years. It's a high quality mattress but I have degenerated disks in my lower back. I would wake up in such pain every morning and was barely able to get out of bed. This mattress topper has truly changed my life. I now wake up with minimal to no back pain at all and I sleep like a baby!! Love it! It does have a bit of an odor when you first unbox it. That disappeared within a week with just putting it on the bed.
We have slept on a futon mattress topped with a memory foam topper for about 17 years. This is our first Temperpedic topper and it is very comfy! We love how we feel like we are on a soft mattress without being on a squishy one! I hope it lasts for years before losing its memory!
I honestly urge you to consider the cool topper, even though it's a little more expensive. I don't like upgrades... usually they're a scam... but this is important. The OG topper is amazing and perfect if you don't get hot. But if you are even remotely sweaty, just get the cool topper.
