i'm trying to decide on 2 or 3 inch now. what did you get and would you recommend it or the other?

I bought both. Used the 2 inch and got a lot of relief from hip discomfort that occurs when I lie on my side. Then 9 months later I wanted to see if I could be even more comfortable, so I bought the 3 inch. I definitely recommend the 3 inch topper if you are in your 50's with mild arthritis in hips and you lie on your side. It's definitely more plush. and worth it!!!!!

I've had both 2 and 3 inch memory foam mattress toppers (both from Costco), and I think the decision on which to buy depends a lot on how you sleep. As a side sleeper, I prefer the 3-inch topper because it gives my hip more cushioning from the very hard mattress underneath the topper. The only thing I like less about the 3-inch topper is, because it's thicker than the 2-inch, I'm more aware off the slight difference in size between the mattress and the topper. The mattress is a couple inches wider than the topper so there's a slight drop-off on one side of the bed. Of course, this may not be a problem with this specific 3-inch topper.

If you are very light (less than 110lbs (50kilos), definitely go with the 3inch topper. Also, if your mattress is especially lumpy, again go for the 3 inch pad. A 2 inch topper is not adequate to hide mattresses' imperfections.So after all that, I say go with the 3 inch one. Good luck and let us know how it works out for you!Pete

Anne, I love my memory foam mattresses. I have a 12" and an 8". I like them both. I bought the 12" first, and, only bought the 8", because, I like to rotate my mattress, and, the 12" is too heavy. Great comfort, no regrets Anne.

It comes with a piece of junk "mattress," so I ordered this one. http://www.amazon.com/Dream-On-Me-Portable-Mattress/dp/B0030UUBMO/ref=pd_bxgy_ba_text_y The crib box says not to use a mattress over 2.8 inches or something like that, but the 3 inch seems fine.

2 inches. I bought this new one and ended up adding it to another two pads and enclosed them in a queen size mattress cover. This is our mattress for the moment; three 2" thick pads. It's okay. My husband has a bad back and I have arthritis in my shoulders. Some nights are better than others. I am still looking for my "dream" mattress....

I have really bad lower back pain also - this particular mattress is VERY firm - for me personally a little too firm and not enough cushion for my hips (side sleeper) and shoulder so we just ordered and got yesterday a 3in mattress topper with a 4lb density which seemed to really help - my husband loves the firm mattress and had no complaints. If this is too firm you might look at the 14 inch from innovations - apparently that one is a bit softer.

dear terry:the 2 inch i got for my double beds were solid foam, not waffle and as far as i know, no fillers. it acts just like my queen size temperpedic and everyone who has used it says it is just fine.gary

I believe I got the 2" and we love ours. It is a great mat! Very well made.

We bought a 2" cradle mattress. The pad that came with it was very thin. We have been very happy with it.

I know this was asked a while ago, but I emailed the seller after I received the mattress (which, I have only been sleeping on for two days but am very happy with so far). They emailed back that the 7-inch base layer of high-density foam is a 4lb density... not sure about the others, but the base layer is most important when determining the overall durability, comfort, etc. I consider 4lb to be perfect for me, as that is on the medium-firm side.

I would say 2-3 inches.. Let's put it this way.. I felt I needed to get a box spring.. or at least have a board on the bottom of the mattress with no box spring. I opted for the box spring (on sale, dirt cheap, at BJs.. )

Hi Dennis,I read your exchange with Jason on Amazon where he asked about a yoga mat thicker than a quarter inch. I already use a mat a quarter inch thick but sometimes cannot stay in certain poses because of pain of bone seeming to touch the floor. Maybe the mat is too soft, I don't know, or maybe I am just too skinny. I was looking for a thicker than quarter inch but was impressed by your statement that you had looked at this and found thicker than this would be unstable.So what is the "mat pad" to which you refer? Maybe that would be the solution. I could not identify under your products on Amazon what would be.Thanks,Greg Smith Hi Dennis,I read your exchange with Jason on Amazon where he asked about a yoga mat thicker than a quarter inch.

The mattress pad fits perfectly on my queen size mattress where the gusseted edge of the mattress pad is at the edge of the mattress. My mattress is a bit on the thinner side. This mattress pad is as thick as a down comforter and, in my opinion must be used on the size mattress it was intended for. I know it is standard practice to buy the next size larger when buying comforters. Not in this case.

I love mine. I helps me, but I have to tell you that it is not the only thing I have on there. It is about 4" thick. I also have a padded mattress cover over it, so between the two my bed is soft, but firm. The only problem I have now is having sheets that will stay on it. I am going to try some sheet clips and see if that helps. I hope this helps you.

mine has been great and such a joy re sleep and comfort. it appears and seems to be 4 inch of gel foam to me and all the same stuff by the looks and feel. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for comfort and sleep. fits well with the mattress that I have and will spread out the usefulness for quite awhile I think. good luck with you decision and for me, I would recommend it.

I ordered the 3inch one if that answers your question. As for how it wore, I realized that in the winter, when my house was cooler, the foam was a lot ... stiffer? less pliable? than when the weather was warmer. Maybe thats why I developed back problems but I moved onto something else anyway.

The "mattress" that came with the bassinet I received was too thin. I bought 2 Inch Foam Bassinet Mattress - 16" x 32" x 2" and it works great!
