thanks for the tip. I ordered it and will put in a review if it works well on a memory foam topper.

NO! This foot warmer causes the foam in your bed to break down much faster then normal and that is thru the mattress tops other material. I had a mattress that had a problem in the exact area the foot warmer was used and so I put in a claim on a 1 year old mattress which was denied when they found out I had used one these warmers. $2,300 mattress ruined. It did state a warning in the mattress information that I found out when I went to by another bed.

I would contact the company of both the heated mattress pad, and the memory foam topper, and ask if either one would be effected by using them together.

In my view, the mattress topper provides a cooler layer of separation between your body and the memory foam. That's really the reason behind the topper. I would keep it simple, but not too cheap. I can't recall which one I bought because I had it for a few years before I came across this mattress. You want it to be of decent quality so that it fits securely over the mattress. The memory foam delivers the comfort, the mattress pad keeps you cooler.

Well, I'm a 180 lb male that is delighted with the 3" 5lb topper. This topper sits on top of a very firm mattress. I do not sink in too much. But, I wonder what would happen if you put the topper on top of your new memory foam mattress? Why do you think you need a topper?

Hello,I have to be honest and say I am not sure the mattress topper will cool down a memory foam mattress but I can tell you that the mattress topper is very thick and perhaps in conjunction with a mattress pad, it may be suitable for your needs. A bamboo mattress pad or the bamboo version of the mattress topper may work for you as I understand them to be cooler than other fabrics. I have three layers over mine - an thick Egyptian cotton mattress pad, a bamboo mattress pad, and then the mattress topper. I hope this was helpful and I hope you find the right solution for your situation. :) Hello,I have to be honest and say I am not sure the mattress topper will cool down a memory foam mattress but I can tell you that the mattress topper is very thick and perhaps in conjunction with a mattress pad, it may be suitable for your needs.

You can put it on top of any mattress but, although not that familiar with a memory foam mattress, wouldn't that defeat the purpose of that type of mattress since the egg crate foam would be a barrier to what the memory foam is suppose to do? - unless the memory foam is no longer doing what it was made to do then the egg crate foam would probably lend to a better sleep. I'm not sure if this is a good enough answer.

Yes, memory foam mattresses can get very hot and warm. But I suspect you didn't have a 15 inch mattress as well. This mattress has a design to have better airflow. I leave my AC off when I sleep, and I generally wake up with it is already 80 outside. With the air off, the bed is not warm at all, my temporpedic pillow actually gets hot, but not this bed. This company released a gel bed I think around the time I bought this bed. That one would be cool too.

I use this memory form topper on a regular mattress. This mattress topper will NOT allow you a cooler sleep. It's only cool to the initial touch but it warms up during the night. Especially because it's so soft and it contours to your body. Your body will create a huge divot in the mattress, trapping the heat in. It has helped me for different things: I'm pregnant so it helps support my growing belly. My back & hips don't hurt any more. I hope this will be useful.

I don't think so. From the mattress professionals we've talked with a memory foam mattress should not be used more than seven or eight years. I had mine for 12 or 13 years before switching to an innerspring mattress with this topper. I had the Tempur-pedic, and this combo of innerspring and foam topper is even more comfortable. Best sleep I've had

Sorry but I have not had that happen-I would contact customer service at Sunbeam for some guidance.One thing for certain, electric items like these whether a throw or blanket becomes a fire hazard if crumpled and the contacts get broken.This may be a a safety warning of such.I would not use until you get an answer. There are several documented cases of fires from damaged electric blankets.Never lay on top of it.

Hi this is super old so I don't know if you'll see it, but Phoenix over at Mattress Underground really knows his stuff about mattresses and what to do in this situation. He's got a great long standing forum that covers everything you've ever wanted to know and more about mattresses and toppers and materials. ( I know this sounds like I'm a paid shill, but I'm not... I swear. :) I've just had really good luck over there when I've had questions of this sort.)

Yes. I use a memory foam(not tempurpedic) and it works fine.This is really a platform bed.

I put a memory foam mattress directly on top and it was fine. I would suggest putting a flat sheet under the mattress and covering the metal part of the frame. it isn't that pretty looking

Sleigh beds are difficult for any of the mattress warmers on the market. What I did was put a small cloth over the headboard to avoid scratches and hung the controls over the cloth. I always knew where to find the control.

I've had the Sunbeam for over a year now on a King size bed and I can honestly say I have no idea it's even there other than sometimes I bump the unit at the very end of the bed once maybe every 3 months. It's the greatest gift I ever got my wife because I get to keep the heat down in the bedroom and save cost but yet she gets to stay toasty with her blanket warmer!

Have a spring mattress with a foam layer on top --- no problem -- but don't know about memory foam

I don't see any reason why not, I put mine on memory foam futon mattress and I love it. I will say that if there's a sink hole in your mattress it will follow it. It's a very comfortable topper:). Hope that helps.
