Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Last week, I was where you are now- reading reviews and getting confused because some people RAVE about this topper, while others absolutely hate it. So what gives? The difference here appears to be very simple. This is a fantastic topper... but ONLY if you have a medium firm to very firm mattress underneath it. My mattress is fairly firm, and let me say this mattress topper has changed my life. No, I am not exaggerating. I am an insomniac and I move around a lot at night. I get into such a deep sleep at night now that I wake up actually feeling REFRESHED. I am more productive in the day now. I cannot speak for the long term integrity of it yet, (update: see below) but I will say that it does not create "valleys" where your body was. I used to get frustrated with my pillow situation (2 pillows not enough height, but 3 is way too much)... not anymore. It creates just the right shape to support me and my neck that the pillows are just fine now. I think a lot of the reviews on here saying that it is a struggle to crawl across, or that it sinks too deep, etc etc etc, are because they put their topper on a mattress that wasn't very firm. I hope that if you are considering this mattress and you know that your bed is a little cushy right now, to please consider that maybe youll come across some of these issues. But if you have a firmer bed right now, I am pretty sure you're going to love this topper! UPDATE: I have had this topper for over a year now and it still feels brand new. I am still over the moon with this thing. I have not moved the topper’s orientation as I expected I would have to (as I have done with previous foam toppers), but still do not see any indication of body indentation. This thing is amazing. If you want to soften a firm mattress then get it, seriously. Just get it.
