From what I have read most recommend a 3" topper for side sleepers. Why will the 2" work for me?

I am a side sleeper too. I think it is denser than memory foam for example and instead of sinking into the topper it seems to give you support. It works very well for me. Also it doesn't have any toxic fumes. I think it is a Wonderful topper!

I don't know why, but I'm a side sleeper and the 2" works fine for me. Besides, if this topper were 3" it would be very heavy and I probably would have trouble lifting it. Maybe it has something to do with density.

I am a side sleeper and I find it comfortable but I also use a foam pad on it and I am ordering a cot mattress for it.

I put the 2" on a top a not so good mattress in my teenager's room and he loves it. If the mattress is real hard I would probably go with 3 inch if you like your bed to feel soft.

I am a side sleeper. I use this mattress in our RV and we stay out 2 months at a time. It's been fine with me and I'm a buff.... Big Ugly Fat Fellow! I was worried when I bought it that I really should have gotten a 10" mattress, but the 8" is just fine.

I have mine over a 2" memory foam topper on a mattress that was too firm. This will help, but you may need to add the memory foam or a regular foam eggcrate topper. Hope this helps you.

We have been sleeping on ours for about 8 months. It is still good as new. I would not be without one now. I would say the 2" topper is perfect. We did try a 3" one and felt like the bed was trying to swallow us. It really is a great item...I would buy the exact same one again.

I have not found the sleep innovation 4" topper hot. I love sleeping on it and I can honestly say, I have not slept so well in a long time. I love this topper. Amen

I had exactly the same complaint about my old pillow, and exactly the same dilemma as yours: which height and firmness I should specify for the new one. I'm also a (mostly) side sleeper. I believe the "right" answer will end up being a matter of personal preference. What worked for me may not feel right to you. That said, here's my experience: I rolled the dice and ordered the High and Firm pillow. I unpackaged it and thought "This thing is too big and hard" but I followed the manufacturer's reco and let it sit, unused, for a couple of days. Then I gave it a try and I found it to be perfect from Day One. 19 months later, I'm still loving the pillow.

I have King size 3" talalay topper on top of 3" memory foam, i am about 200lb, only some part of body can reach to the buttom, other part with nice support, the talalay looks like they were 4" to me thick the the memory foam. i wish they have 5" option, the cover just right fit for my bed set.

I found the 2 inch worked for me to a point. I found that the bede under must be reasonably firm. Thickness depends on the size of the person.

This one is two inches thick- they lump all the reviews together which is really confusing and not really useful. I personally love my 2 inch topper- we have a baby and now we sleep like we haven't slept in ages. I have a queen, but it fits perfectly on top of the mattress, so I would assume the king does as well

I recommend the use of an additional pillow. The rise in the airbed is very small and does not match the height you get from a pillow. If you're accustomed to having a pillow while you sleep, you will want it. If you're used to two pillows, use two pillows.

Actually the foam should be a little bit smaller than you mattress so that the sheets can fit on easily. If you get a 2 inch thick topper the sheets will probably fit better than if you were to get a 3 or 4 inch topper. The queen size topper is approximately 58x78.

Then this is not what you want but if you are to add 3-4'' mattress topper this topper hadthe depth to cover it. I also need a 3-4" topper and am happy I have this already to use to put on top of it.I like it.

There is jo need for a mattress pad unless you want a softer top. This matters is very firm. Also very think so adding another 2 to 3 inches would make it even thicker. Think about that when buying sheets. Putting a top would make the gel useless. Buy the 10 inch mattress if you want to put a topper.

My little guy sleeps with it. Nor sure about side sleepers just because he only weights 50 lbs. Had no issue in the past year. Very comfy.

I don't understand the question. Your 3" 4lb. topper does what--protect you when you lay on the floor or not protect you when you lay on your side? Let me put it this way: this is a TOPPER, not a bed. It is intended to be used on top of a mattress. You might get away with using it on top of a futon or an air bed, perhaps even on a box spring, but I cannot imagine it being used with any degree of comfort directly on the floor
