Seriously has cut out pain in joints, hips etc. It really envelops your body and lulls you to comfort. I even pop out of bed easily without being stiff or pain. I just wish it did had straps to attach to my mattress as it does seem to move a bit.
My current mattress of over 10 years was sagging in the middle and deprive me of a restful night sleep. This mattress topper helped to correct the sagging. I get better sleep now. However I wish the topper were a bit firmer.
We would highly recommend this product. We both have some arthritis, and no more sore hips during the night. Also we sleep better. I used to get up 2 to 4 times during the night, now that is down to once. We feel more rested in the morning, too. One thing we wondered about is...would we be able to climb into bed, with another 3 inches with the mattress pad. We can get into bed, but if another inch higher, I don't think we would make it! We could use a stool, but we have heard that it isn't good to use one beside the bed, as it can be tripped on, if you do get up in the middle of the night. So very thankful for this product!
This topper took a very uncomfortable mattress and turned it onto something worth sleeping on every night. The only way we could have been happier was just buying a new Tenpur mattress. It's very soft but not so soft that you have trouble moving at night. If you have a relatively new mattress and maybe It's just a bit too firm, then this topper is your answer! I wish we would have bought one sooner. They are quite expensive compared to other brands, but you get what you pay for. Try to look for one of Tempurs 40% off sales! They're hard to pass up then.
I absolutely love the 3 inch topper. Every night, I sink in feeling supported all around. I am definitely sleeping better - waking up less each night. I was worried 4 inches would be too much and 2 wouldn't be enough, but I think it depends on how much 'cush' you like. 3 inches has worked out perfect. No more achy shoulders or hips. It was delivered quicker than I was advised. It is rolled up very tightly with large plastic wrap. You put it onto the bed and start unrolling, then lay it out and it puffs up completely in a few hours. Ready to sleep on the first night - even better the second and every night thereafter. If this one ever wears out, I'll get another one! Great product.
I purchased to help my bad back. It has helped greatly! After about 3 nights, I got up with little or no back pain! Because you sink into it a little, you can sleep half way between side and back, which allows another position not possible on traditional mattresses. For me, best used over a firm mattress so you receive mattress firm support plus the pressure relief of tempur-pedic. I have not slept on it on a hot night to comment on heat, but nights below 80F, it is not too warm. This one used on old, bad mattress at our cabin. I plan to purchase a second for home. I cannot speak to longevity. It does leave a small impression the next night, but does not 'bottom out".
