Would this be recommended to put on top of the poor-quality dorm mattresses?

I have it on top of the mattress that was donated to me in college 10 years ago (I have no idea how old the mattress actually is but it is at least 10 years old). I was using it as my mattress until last year and it is now my guest bed. I get compliments on how comfy the bed is all of the time! I attribute it to the mattress topper. After my family tried it out, they have all purchased them too! I highly recommend it! If your dorm mattress is terrible- you may want to consider an affordable foam topper that is thick to provide a little more support. This topper adds an amazing plush feeling under your sheets. Deep pockets too so it can accommodate really deep mattresses.

You can put it on any mattress. My husband and I call it "cloud". The feeling is like sleeping on the cloud! His back feels much better since we started using this pad. Highly recommended.

No, because I think one needs a better support system when sleeping. This helped soften the feel of an airbed. I would purchase a new mattress for my child in college and use it for all four years.

It is a very nice mattress cover, but it is not as good as a featherbed to change the feel of a bad mattress. I would not count on it.

Yes, it is chris, and yes you may put a regular mattress on top. I put a foam mattress and I am very happy with my bed.. no complaints, it is sturdy and functional.... perfecto

I use it on top of my pillow top mattress. I bought it for the same reason. The pillow too. I love that technology.

I think it may work fine if you are putting the topper on a mattress that is already fairly comfortable. I don't think you could go wrong if you bought the Sleep Better 3-inch or thicker for a mattress that hard and uncomfortable to degin with.

As long as you're strong enough to shake it out every week or so, I think it should make your mattress softer. Without shaking, it will probably compact pretty quickly.

not sure what a "dorm bed" is but i would certainly say that the only place to use this great stand is on something flat, e.g., a desk. trying to balance this on your belly while laying in bed isn't going to work. i use this on a wooden desk top and i love it.

No, I think it is perfect for me. I would just recommend putting a mattress protector and light sheets over it.

No. It would tip over. Intended just to be Pitt under a mattress and used as a bedside table in lofts or upper bunks where there is no floor. Great for dorm room!

No, you might want to look for something softer - this one makes your bed incredibly comfortable, but is too thin to fully change the characteristics of your mattress.

my daughter is in college and her dorm room has a typical dorm mattress, which isn't even as thick as a regular mattress. we put a 1 inch memory foam on top of the mattress and then this mattress pad over it all. The sides were very stretchy and were tight enough to hold it all together.

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!

Thanks for reaching out. Candidly, the air mattress - an really any air mattress regardless of brand - is not designed to be used every single day. Once you start using daily for more than a few months issues are likely to arise. The mattress is not designed for that type of daily wear and tear. We would hate to lose you as a customer but always want to be front and tell you when our product is not the right one for you. If you need something every day we strongly encourage you to consider a traditional mattress, not an air mattress, regardless of brand - particularly in a dorm environment.

Probably this would be helpful, although it may not be enough. It allows for some good "give" when used in conjunction with a firm mattress.

Yes you should. I use it with a sheet on top no different than we do the adult size mattress covers.

You can put it on top of any mattress but, although not that familiar with a memory foam mattress, wouldn't that defeat the purpose of that type of mattress since the egg crate foam would be a barrier to what the memory foam is suppose to do? - unless the memory foam is no longer doing what it was made to do then the egg crate foam would probably lend to a better sleep. I'm not sure if this is a good enough answer.

I put a memory foam mattress directly on top and it was fine. I would suggest putting a flat sheet under the mattress and covering the metal part of the frame. it isn't that pretty looking

It depends. Not all dorms use XL twins. I would check with the university first. We used the mattress cover and then a mattress pad on top. The mattress cover is a thin barrier for allergies/bed bug issues, while a mattress pad adds some cushioning.
