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'm not using mine any more. I am a side sleeper, but the problem I had was it made the bed too soft and my back started hurting. But that's just me. I purchased a solid genuine Dupont 2" foam topper that that worked out better for me.

If your current mattress is sagging in the middle, you need to get a new mattress. A topper will not 'revive' a sagging mattress I'm afraid.

I use it on a king size mattress with a 2" topper on it and it works fine. I actually use two of them which makes it even easier to do the ends of the mattress.

I had the same problem. This topper makes a big difference. I have only slept on it twice but it was much more comfortable than my firm mattress. I wish it would have been a little thicker but it does make a firm mattress more comfortable.

I'm a side sleeper as well and have been quite comfortable. With a really good padded mattress cover I think you'll enjoy a good nights' rest on your side, back or stomach.

I can't make any promises, Patricia. In the case of my own mattress it didn't appear to be sagging, but I could feel it when I would lay down on it. If your side is sunk in as you say, this memory foam topper may not give you all the support that you need. It might make it somewhat better, but then again it might not provide all the improvement that you need. You might be better off applying the cost of the topper towards a new mattress.

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.

Completely personal preference. If you like a softer bed, you would probably prefer the 3". Best,One Stop Mommy

I have the 12" for my bed and the 8" for guests. My mother is a side sleeper, and she slept great on this bed! Since it conforms to your body, it gives great support. You will not need two pillows!

I have a pillow top bed too, its about a 3" inch difference. However the bed is a little deep. So you will need to bend down to get baby. My son will be 4 months, I love this sleeper! I used it since day 1! He loves sleeping in it for naps & sleeps in it overnight. It is worth the $30!

I have always used the Tri-core pillow, standard size, and have always been happy with it. I lay on my back and side and it works beautifully, no neck issues.Hope this helps

I am a side sleeper and I use 3 quarts. It did take me a few nights to get use to it though. Good luck.

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.

If I had a new pillow top mattress that sags, I would first go back to the retailer. They may replace it and save you money. As to your question, I am not sure. I bought ours for the camper with a low quality mattress and it is the most comfortable bed we own. When I buy another I will get the 3 inch one and put a pad on top before the bottom sheet. Hope this helps.

I have purchased all three and the three and four inch were just to soft. Plus your bedding is most likely not going to fit. The two inch worked best for us, not too soft, but still helped with the back and hip pain. Again, this was just me and my husband but even our grand kids did not like the 3 and 4 inch foam.
