Contrary to popular belief, size DOESN'T matter!
I have to say that if it weren't for the great sale they had on this topper, I may not have purchased it - but to be fair, that is only because of all the reviews I read on a wide variety of memory foam toppers. Generally speaking, it seems your everyday person feels that a 3 or 4 inch thickness is what you should purchase if you really want to make a difference in the way the mattress feels. Of course, many of them also go on to complain about it not having support, it being too soft for what they were hoping for or feeling like they are moving around in a marshmallow pit.
I can't believe how much support this topper has! With a thickness of only 2 inches, you'd think it would be like sleeping on a sponge (and you'd be wrong). I've spent the last 12 days thoroughly testing this topper - on both sides. Each day, I would get up, open my journal and write down how I felt. Here are my results:
Day 1: Started using my new topper (green side up). Slept for 14 1/2 hours! Oh my gosh! That's like a mini coma - especially for someone (ahem... me) who suffers from insomnia. If I somehow manage to fall asleep, I usually end up tossing around all night. This was such a wonderful change. I woke up feeling rested and energized.
I did have an "off" feeling in my spine, but being familiar with memory foam, I know that that's normal. This is my spine realigning itself. It's not painful at all, it's just...different.
Day 2: Had trouble sleeping tonight. I was incredible comfortable but couldn't fall asleep. My brain wouldn't shut off. I kept going over the 1001 things I need to get done. Obviously, that had nothing to do with the mattress topper, but if i'm keeping a "log" then I need to be thorough.
Day 3: Woke up feeling fantastic and ready to conquer the world. I took 2 all natural sleeping pills before bed (which helped me fall asleep) and slept like a baby.
Day 4: Had a hard time dragging myself out of bed - which has now become my favorite place to be. Weekends are meant for sleeping in though so I took full advantage. I feel like i'm finally catching up on the sleep I have missed out on for so many years!
Day 5: Stayed up WAY too late getting caught up on work. Missed out on a lot of delicious sleep that this mattress topper has been providing. Though I could have gotten a few hours more, the sleep I did get was incredible - and still, NO back pain! Before this topper, I had forgotten what it's like to be pain free!
Day 6: Sleep. How I love thee. How I've missed thee. So glad to have you back in my life! This topper just gets better and better. I'm almost afraid to try the other side as I so love the green side (aka, the softer side). Alas, a review cannot be complete if I don't try it in as many ways as possible. Tonight, it's time to try the pink side.
Day 7: I flipped the topper last night to give the pink side a try. I was apprehensive as I absolutely LOVE the softness on the green side. While i'm still partial to a softer feeling, the firmer side is nice too. Hubby recently injured his back and the firmer side is helping to keep his spine straight - which is alleviating some of the pain he is in.
Day 8: Still prefer the softer side but I sleep just fine on this one as well. I've always been more comfortable, sleeping on a softer surface. Don't get me wrong, the firmer side is comfortable, it's just a personal preference. That's what's so great about this topper. You have choices!
Day 9: I half expected to have that strange feeling in my spine again, since i've been using the firmer side after getting used to the softer side, but I don't. I feel... normal. It's amazing what a different there is between spring mattresses, cheap memory foam, and high-end memory foam.
Day 10: Still using the firmer side and so far, so good. Hubby's been able to get in and out of bed, even though he's in a lot of pain from his injury. He's not taking anything other than advil so it would seem it's the mattress that's making a difference. Before we ordered this mattress topper, he was in constant agony. He's feeling a bit better with each passing day.
Day 11: I didn't sleep well last night. The kids were up all night, bursting with excitement over the Easter bunny arriving in the morning - which of course, kept me up all night too. My body feels great but I am super exhausted from lack of sleep.
Day 12: Caught up on some much needed rest. Yesterday was a LONG and tiring day. I counted the hours until I could climb into bed and relax. I slept soundly using a combination of the mattress topper, and my supplements. I feel rested, alert and ready to battle whatever challenges get in my way today!
All in all, I am incredibly happy with my purchase. While I personally prefer the softer side to the firmer side, I am incredibly happy to have that option. No other mattress topper offers this feature. It's a well thought out product.
Contrary to popular belief, bigger isn't better. This 2" thick topper provides more support than my 8" thick memory foam mattress. The materials are high quality, there's no funky smell, and it's built to last. The density of this foam is far superior to other toppers that i've tried. There's just nothing like it!
