what is the difference between regular memory foam and the gel?

This topper is more "responsive" (or bounces back) than traditional memory foam

This is still memory foam...just with gel mixed in. The gel is a cooling agent, where regular memory foam can be rather warm.

I have had both, and found that the gel is more plyable and forms to your body more efficiently. It also holds up much better keeping it's (shape) better. I have had mine for 4 years and it is still great. I go to visit my children every year staying for a month. I ordered this one to have delivered to their house so it could be put on my bed there.

I've never used the one you have, but this one is firm. It has memory foam and it is contoured. It stays firm too. I use it in my car everyday and I do notice a difference; I'm not shifting every few minutes to try and get comfortable. It helps take the pressure off the lumbar while sitting. Hope this helped.

Gel foam is really not a foam. It is encapsulated get that is placed on the surface of the foam. Memory foam is heat sensitive, so body heat causes that foam to soften and conform to the body shape. I have no idea which would be best for your dog. We have a memory foam bed for our arthritic dog, but that does not mean it is the best.

This one doesnt claim gell filled? This is down alternative. The gell filled is more like memory foam type so if your looking for more of a memoery foam feel go gell if you want a pillow top feel fo this one.

This is a memory foam cushion, not gel. It is extremely comfortable and reliefs all pressure from the tailbone. My mother had a gel one but it was hard and uncomfortable. I purchased it for my mother but used it myself in a very uncomfortable recliner when she was sick. It made a huge difference! I also purchase the back lumbar support cushion and it was awesome too. My mother has used it for 6months every day for 12 or more hours and it remained like new.

I have no experience with the larger pad, however, I believe the amount of gel is the same and foam is simply added. I did put the 1 inch pad under the seat cover, I doubt there is room for the larger one. I also removed foam from the seat under the gel pad to relieve the pressure from the tail bone and sit bones.

This is not a memory foam product; the polyester gel fiber that fills this pillow is compressable, but acts more like a standard pillow than memory foam.

Other products have evolved to include gel in them, this one only has memory foam in it however, at its low price, its a very good seller at my stores.

It is just a 2" memory gel foam period...and although it is comfortable...it can get a little warm. Hope this helps.

If you're on a tight budget or if you dislike the initial stiff feel of medium and high-density memory foam mattresses, then a low-density memory foam mattress may be the right choice. I love my memory foam mattresses. Low is just as good as medium or high. Hope this helps you.

It's on the softer side. If you like your bed really comfy this is the Memory Foam to get!

It has something to do with Hydraluxe gel technology which is a special gel that is layered into the pillow. Sellers indicate that "independent testing show the gel layer to be 15 degrees cooler to touch and stays cooler up to six times longer than traditional memory foam." None of the selling sites that I checked gave specifics as to what the components/ingredients are in the special cooling gel. However, my grandson sleeps very hot and assured me that the pillow really works.

Not sure If it's more effective. I just like the gel. It absorbs quickly and works well. I think it's a matter of personal preference. Both work great

California memory foam is what they call it. I'd say its light years ahead of old school foam, but it's not as form saving as the ultra modern, expensive ones either. Reasonable compromise.

It is completely different. This is just a cotton fill as the Tempurpedic is a memory foam. The memory foam will last a LOT longer and is more firm. This is just a cheap cotton fill roll. Flattens out relatively quickly, but at 14$ for two is much cheaper. Also the Tempurpedic pillows are pretty heavy so if you're thinking of this for travel etc, this light weight might work better, you can squish it to fit in a suitcase.

the only difference I have found if the foam. I tried out a friends basic model and then bought the one with the foam as I have a very bad back. I have not been sorry for spending the extra money. Good luck on your purchase.

I really don't know. All I can say is I just bought my wife one of Dr. Bob's pillows. She tried mine 1st. It is by far the best foam pillow I have ever used. I paid over 100.00 for the Sleep Number and it lasted less than a year. This pillow is made right. Have tried 2 Gel pillows and thy don't last. Try it you will like it.
