Would this work on an existing memory foam mattress? I have one that is 10 years old and sags in the middle, would this "revive" it?

John, my guess is not. The foam mattress will bend to the contour of your foam mattress and you will end up with a deeper sag. Have you flipped the mattress? To be sure, I would call or stop in a mattress store and ask for their thoughts. Good luck. David

I really doubt that this foam would adequately compensate for a sagging mattress under it.

If your current mattress is sagging in the middle, you need to get a new mattress. A topper will not 'revive' a sagging mattress I'm afraid.

I know it worked on regular bed which was sagging on my side it gave enough stiffness , and works great.

I don't think so. From the mattress professionals we've talked with a memory foam mattress should not be used more than seven or eight years. I had mine for 12 or 13 years before switching to an innerspring mattress with this topper. I had the Tempur-pedic, and this combo of innerspring and foam topper is even more comfortable. Best sleep I've had

My guess would be yes. The mattress weighs 86 lbs which is less than a normal mattress of the same size. I have seen on a memory foam mattress site that the slats should not be separated by more than 3 inches. If the slats are wider you could place a piece of plywood on top of the slats or provide more slats. Hope this helps.

I'm not sure how it would react on a memory foam mattress. Our mattress is a pillowtop that had flattened over the years, so I use ours for the added pillowtop comfort. It has extended the life of our mattress. I will say that it is an extremely comfortable topper and I would definitely purchase one again in the future.

I can't make any promises, Patricia. In the case of my own mattress it didn't appear to be sagging, but I could feel it when I would lay down on it. If your side is sunk in as you say, this memory foam topper may not give you all the support that you need. It might make it somewhat better, but then again it might not provide all the improvement that you need. You might be better off applying the cost of the topper towards a new mattress.

As long as it is sturdy, it should work. *Just MAKE SURE it is level and supported in the middle.* Our foundation on our king size bed did not have any supports in the middle, just the sides. After a week, it was sagging and my back was killing me. We put some supporting blocks on the middle beam and it's been fine since. The mattress is much heavier than you might think.

I would say yes. Mine is used on a Comforpedic mattress from Beauty Rest that is similar to a temperpedic memory foam mattress and works quite well. Deep stretchy pockets are quite adequate.

I have it on extra long pillow top mattresses, works like a charm. I also ordered a foam "filler" that goes between the two mattresses, it helps fill the gap so you don't feel it as much.

I placed my new Red Nomad 10" memory foam mattress on my old metal spring frame. It works great!

You should DEFINITELY confirm with them, but probably. I'd get an email or something from them, so that if you ever need to use the warranty, they can't claim you didn't properly support the mattress. Someone on "The Mattress Underground" emailed Tuft & Needle about whether their 10" mattress would work with the not-Elite version Sleep Master frame and they said that they used it themselves. http://www.themattressunderground.com/mattress-forum/general-mattresses/15142-the-10-in-tuft-needle-diary.html?start=270#48372 Since the Casper is similar, I expect it'll work. Worst case is you might have to pick up some wood slats at Home Depot and lay them across the frame to shrink the grid size down to 3"-5" from the 6-8" I think it comes with.

Well, its just a Big'ol piece of foam... semi-ridged. It should rest on top of whatever your old mattress was on, no problems. Its quality foam, no complaints, here. Rigid, yet pliable, fit onto my previous plywood, makeshift bed frame, no problem!

I am sorry... I do not know. I wonder if any folding bed with spaces would affect the memory foam mattress. Maybe you should get a folding bed with a solid surface. OR, you could put a blanket or pad on top of this one, and then your mattress.

Yes, absolutely. We have many customers who have used Mattress Helper on this type of memory foam mattress and are quite happy because of it. Purchase 2 of the 20" for full coverage under your mattress. Thank you.

Short answer: no. Long answer: Whether or not the mattress will start to sag or lose its ability to bounce back to original state, the mattress will not be flipped. Look at the description information. The mattress is composed of layers of different material. Only the top 3 inches or so is the "memory" material. That means if you flipped the mattress you would be laying on regular foam like a peasant. And we can't have that.

I have a 14" memory foam mattress. I just measured and the mattress sits 2" below the top of the bed rail. A 10" mattress should work well in my opinion.

I had a new pillow top (14 months old) and it sagged but it did not sag enough for it to be replaced. I tried to put one of these on top of it and I could still feel the sagging parts. I ended up getting a new, firm mattress without the pillow top and I am putting the topper on that. Suckfest, I know.

I don't seen any reason why the type of mattress you are putting it on should make any difference. Sounds like your mattress may be having some memory lapses (or you would not be considering this item), and this might be just the thing to restore it.

I don't think this will work for you, Patricia. The manufacturer says it won't work with lightweight foam mattresses so I doubt an air mattress would have enough weight to hold it in place and it would be dangerous.
