memory foam mattress

[emily_in_nc]

We bought a foam mattress pad when I wanted to move back to my queen-size bed with DH from a hospital bed in my living room. I was recovering from pelvic fractures and our ultra-firm mattress was just too darn hard to sleep on my bad side. We bought a 2" foam topper from Target. It called itself memory foam, I think, but it's nothing like Tempurpedic, it's more like regular foam with little slits in it, and it doesn't have any "memory".

Anyway, INSTANT comfort! DH also found that it helped with his joint and back aches and pains, and we have left it on for the past two years. We have a very good mattress set, so it was not that, but we needed something to give it a little "cush", since we went for the extra-firm, no pillow-top mattress when we picked it out a few years back.

Just my 2 cents!

Just a heads up on the "sleep number bed." we have one and really like it.
HOWEVER, it developed mold! Inside on the air mattress part and on the foam. The company has acknowledged this problem (just do a Google search) and they very graciously replaced the air mattresses and foam at no cost, including shipping. They told us that this problem wouldn't happen with the new mattresses and foam. BUT, time will tell.
On another bed in the house, I purchased the NOVA foam topper that also has the additional down alternative topper above the foam. I picked it up at Costco which has an excellent return policy. I like it too, but not as well as the air mattress. I just hope the mold problem doesn't return....
