Seems as though this topper is very comfy at first, then flattens out quickly and no longer provides the initial comfort. Is this so?

Yes. It flattened out where I had been sleeping. In fact I threw it away last week.

We have only had ours for about three months and have not had any flattening issues so far. That is not a very long period of time and may not help much but I thought I would share.

just as with a down topper, i find a good shaking to introduce more air back in the topper helps a great deal. this is just like a couch with loose cushions. another thing i do is put it on low in the dryer for approx.10 min.-pull it out & turn it around & repeat.

It lost a bit of its fluffiness, but still was comfortable after several weeks. However, I live where it's very hot, and the topper definitely retains heat -- a winter-time item! I miss it for the next few months ...

mine didn't flatten but, i have a sleep number bed and i find this topper is not substantial enough/im putting it on a regular mattress and ordered a featherbed for my sleep number/i really liked this topper/very comfy but, i had no flattening problems/i think you have to shake it out often, though/

I :) have had the topper for a couple of months. Have not as yet had an issue. When I strip my bed I always shake out my topper. Don't know if that may make a difference.

It hasn't flattened out, but it doesn't get slept on very often. We bought 2 of them, one for a queen blow up bed, which gets used about30 nights a year, and a king for the top of 2 twins in our guest room. That one has only been used for 7 nights so far. My daughter has had the same topper for over a year and it is still holding it shape!

It has worked great for us. I didn't really notice any crunchy feeling, but it was softer after a couple of washes. We bought a mattress with a gel topping. We wanted the topper because we have small children who climb on the bed and we didn't want to worry about spills, etc. on the new mattress. It's been great (much better than the other ones I bought for the kids' beds) and I would recommend it.

I've had my topper for 2 weeks and it has turned out to be cooler then our mattress without it. Extremely comfortable!!

I find it cooler than my regular mattress before I had this topper but I am not sure---

It took few minutes to expand but it took a good 48 hours for it to feel complete and firm. My husband has a bad back so he likes firm mattresses so this has been great for him. Personally for me, I had to put my mattress topper for it to be comfy for my preference.

We bought this topper hoping it would offset the sagging in our mattress. Initially it felt great, like we were sleeping on clouds. But after a few nights, that effect went away and the sinks in the mattress are evident again. However, it could be because my husband and I both heavy, we may have flattened it :)

yes, my old memory foam topper hurt my back, I was a little apprehensive spending so much on this but im finally waking up without any pain. it worked wonders for me

It took me some time to adjust to my new pillow I hope you can too. My very old pillow was really flat, I had issues also. I don't find it too thick now.

I haven't used the 3" gel topper, the one I have I've only owned during the wintertime, and it is quite comfortable. I'll learn whether it's too hot or not when summer heats up.

I believe so... I toss and turn quite a bit and it does not move much... I really benefit from the additional comfort it offers, and I am not a fan of the traditional (non-gel foam) type toppers!

I've had mine for only a couple of months now but it's very firm which I figured a low end mattress would lose the firmness faster so ill deal with it until then. Its comfy but stiff. And it is not foamy has a little spring bounce. For the price I'm happy. Back has started to feel better since I got it. My okd one was a soft thin cheap pillow top that sunk in two years

I rather doubt it, this topper is not very soft. It is softer than the very hard mattress I put it onto, but the base is not a memory foam mattress, just a normal hard mattress. It helped a little bit, but I felt it was still just a bit on the firm side. Hope that helps.

That is exactly what I did! It is great! It is extremely comfy...maybe a tiny bit overfilled but I figure with time it will flatten some. But, I love it and have gotten many compliments. :)

Hi kristine, it soften my extra firm mattress for 0-15 days later on i dont feel that much softness. Go for more thikness pillow top.

Yes the topper has helped with my backaches. It does sleep warm...not as hot as another one I have tried. Kind of a trade off I guess. Haven't tried the iso cool one. I was told by a sales person at penny's that it was not hot. Don't know that for sure though and it is more expensive.

It flattens out more than I would like. However, I am a sid sleeper and was having neck and back pains. Since I have been using this pillow, I have had no pain at all.

Ours lost the majority of the comfy feeling in the first 3 months of ownership. We wound up throwing it out and wasted 400.00 dollars. See if they will take it back with a credit. Good luck!
