Abripedic 2.5 Inch Thick Gel Memory Foam Mattress Topper, Pillow-Top Mattress Topper with Gel Infused, Full Size

I love it! First things first: this is 2.5" thick and 3" density. Take a minute to understand the difference between thickness and density: density is how "tight" the foam cells are, and has nothing to do with thickness. The denser the foam, the firmer the topper! I wanted a relatively firm (dense) foam, but I didn't want a terribly thick topper; the thickness of the pad makes it harder to climb onto the bed! So, this pad comes in at a reasonable thickness - I felt 2" was too thin to really do much good.The Abripedic arrived on time and quite well packed. The box is about 30" tall and about 12" square (queen size topper). Sealed in a plastic bag, the topper was easy to unpack. I unpacked the topper first thing the morning after it arrived to allow it all day to air out. I did not notice ANY odor. The topper has a very very nice removable and washable cover - a definite plus! When initially placed on the bed, there was a definite "hump" in the middle - where the topper had been folded. Over the course of the day, it flattened out nicely. By evening, I was ready to make the bed. My mattress cover and sheets went over the pad perfectly (the sheets fit better now than they did without the topper)! The hump was slightly visible when I made the bed, but was totally flat shortly thereafter.I have back and shoulder problems, and sleeping can be a nightmare, so I was totally pleased to finally get a great night sleep! I like to sleep on my side or stomach, but also like to read in bed. I found this topper very comfortable while laying on my back to read. I was even more comfy on my side, and was totally surprised that I could actually sleep on my stomach (torn rotator cuff had prevented this for several months). I've had this a couple weeks now, and the absolute BEST night's sleep I've had in a long time!

It doesn't really feel that much different than an egg crate topper. It doesn't "bounce back" like I expected memory foam to do. It's dense and thin. It took a week to fill out to the point I could use it so it was inconvenient to store for the week while I waited. Update. I've owned it for a year. I absolutely hate it. It's sunken in and dented where our bodies lay on the bed. It still as the lump down the middle where it was folded for shipping .It's dense and firm and freezing cold when you first get into bed but ever single night I wake up sweating and it's very warm. Once it heats up it takes forever to cool off. Once it heats up I can't sleep any more that night. I've finally given up on it and am tossing it in the trash. It's not even fit for my camper.

We needed a Mattress Topper and selected this one. One of our selection Criteria was that 2" Thickness was a Minimum and 3" might be too much. This one at 2.5" seemed just right and the price was not the cheapest and not the most expensive. The first night after we put it on top of our mattress I slept for ten hours and nothing hurt when I got up.

This is my second purchase of this item at the request of my son. I bought one a few years ago for him to use in college. He is now on his own, and asked for another as a Christmas gift, just like the first, b/c he liked it so much. The mattress topper was very durable and has a very nice, removable cover on it, that launders well. I highly recommend this mattress topper, and am thankful the company is still in business to offer them.

We bought this to replace an old eggshell mattress pad that had a few too many questionable stains. At first, I wasn't sure because it did seem very firm but after a few weeks it has leveled out nicely and is very comfortable. There was a noticeable smell for the first few days, but it wasn't unbearable and has dissipated. I would definitely recommend to anyone who wants a new sleep experience and doesn't want to spend the money on a brand new mattress.I would recommend using deep pocket sheets.

Yes, it does have an odor. Mine is not too offensive and it has diminished more each day. It is a comfortable topper and it does not make me too warm. This seems to be a concern for a lot of people (it was for me also). I bought the twin size to go on my twin XL bed because I didn't want to pay so much more for 5" of topper. I think that I made a good choice. The topper fits well to the sides and the few inches at the head of the bed are covered by pillows. Follow the directions (air for 48 hours) and it expands very well. I like it!

Very comfortable, but extremely HOT. Now I have to buy a cooling pad to decrease the geat.Have not had it long enough to know if shape will hold.
