I really wanted to love this topper. My mattress is old, about 15 years. I knew it needed to be replaced but thought I might be able to milk a couple more years out of it by purchasing this. So, the unpacking process was about what I expected. I was able to assemble everything on my own. The surprise came when I slept on it. I don't slide to the center as one might expect with an old mattress, rather, I slide to the edge! One night I actually slid off onto the floor! In addition to the topper, I purchased the cooling pad. I thought that would be a very functional part of it all, as I prefer to be cool at night. However, when I put my sheets on top of the pad, I cannot feel a difference. But if I just rest on the pad without a sheet, I slide off the bed like eggs on no stick pan! Needless to say, this is not a long term fix! My back and hips have developed new aches and my nights are anything but restful. My topper is 4" thick. I am 60 years old. I am 5'6". 170 lbs.
I love my new topper. It's extremely comfortable and I haven't had a sore hip since I purchased it. My only complaint is that I find it very warm, and that's now in the winter. Don't know how it's going to be in the summer when the temperature is high.
The first night I slept on this topper it was such a great sleep. I was so comfortable I didn't want to get out of bed. So happy my daughter talked me into it. Thank you tempurpedic!
Extremely uncomfortable and the smell was overwhelming I gave 2 stars as the rep was nice about allowing me to return the item. The site is a little misleading on returning the item.
With my Tempur-Pedic topper my hips and back no longer hurt during the night. In fact, I now sleep undisturbed through the entire night; no more turning from side to back to side trying to relieve the pain all night long. It's great to wake up every morning fully rested and ready to enjoy the day. I've recommended the Tenpure-Pedic topper to numerous friends, and I plan to buy another topper for my RV.
