I read all the reviews and was a bit skeptical about the cost vs. return. I've had three previous toppers on a good mattress and suffer from sciatica, some mornings I hurt so bad a hot shower is the only thing that gets me to the erect position but I've always suspected my bed and or pillow was contributory to my discomfort. I got the topper a week ago at 8 pm, I knew it was compacted and had some chemical smell but I open it and put it on my bed fully intending to sleep on it the same night. I slept on and it was a lot different than what my normal sleeping experience had been, it was firm but soft, pressure points were relieved as I had read in several previous reviews, when I woke up the next morning I really didn't notice a big difference. The second night however was a game changer. I figured the topper had a full 24 hours to expand so the second night would be the test to see if the topper was the "real deal" or not. The next morning I felt better than the first night but the third night was the best night of rest I've had in years and most of my back pain gone! Truthfully, it exceeded my expectations and I would certainly recommend it. The odor is a non issue for me and have acute asthma and I'm very sensitive to chemical odors. There were two negatives, the tracking never updated from "your product has Shipped". I had to email customer service to get a delivery date, then the topper went to a UPS NorCal Distribution center where I live, but instead of going out for delivery, it was sent to Las Vegas which is on UPS. My little Pugs love it too.
I have temperpedic mattress and it's to firm for me after adding the topper it's much better and softer The pillow feels like a lead weight still good pillow but I don't sleep on it. The mask awesome keeps eyes closed to help me get to sleep.
I had a new mattress from another company, but it was way too hard and never "broke in" as promised. Adding this topper totally changed our sleep. I'm sure it's not as good as a full memory foam mattress, but it transformed our uncomfortable mattress into something we enjoy sleeping on!
Finally no more hip aches upon waking in the morning. It has a slightly firm feel yet it sinks in just enough to end the issue of having aches on the hips.
It is great. It took a couple of days of getting use to. My hip and back pain has been reduced since sleeping on my tempura topper. I am not waking up to headaches like I was.
All it does is squish flat onto my hard mattress. I am a "side-sleeper" and my hips still hit the hard mattress below. I still squirm all night long, trying to get comfortable.
