i'm trying to decide on 2 or 3 inch now. what did you get and would you recommend it or the other?

I bought both. Used the 2 inch and got a lot of relief from hip discomfort that occurs when I lie on my side. Then 9 months later I wanted to see if I could be even more comfortable, so I bought the 3 inch. I definitely recommend the 3 inch topper if you are in your 50's with mild arthritis in hips and you lie on your side. It's definitely more plush. and worth it!!!!!

I've had both 2 and 3 inch memory foam mattress toppers (both from Costco), and I think the decision on which to buy depends a lot on how you sleep. As a side sleeper, I prefer the 3-inch topper because it gives my hip more cushioning from the very hard mattress underneath the topper. The only thing I like less about the 3-inch topper is, because it's thicker than the 2-inch, I'm more aware off the slight difference in size between the mattress and the topper. The mattress is a couple inches wider than the topper so there's a slight drop-off on one side of the bed. Of course, this may not be a problem with this specific 3-inch topper.

If you are very light (less than 110lbs (50kilos), definitely go with the 3inch topper. Also, if your mattress is especially lumpy, again go for the 3 inch pad. A 2 inch topper is not adequate to hide mattresses' imperfections.So after all that, I say go with the 3 inch one. Good luck and let us know how it works out for you!Pete

I'm guessing they mean if you add the mattress covering, as it is pretty plush. However, the foam layers in our mattress are not the same thickness. Some are thicker than 3" and some are thinner.

I found the 2 inch worked for me to a point. I found that the bede under must be reasonably firm. Thickness depends on the size of the person.

dear terry: the 2 inch i got for my double beds were solid foam, not waffle and as far as i know, no fillers. it acts just like my queen size temperpedic and everyone who has used it says it is just fine. gary

I put the 2" on a top a not so good mattress in my teenager's room and he loves it. If the mattress is real hard I would probably go with 3 inch if you like your bed to feel soft.

The pad is not 1 inch thick. I like a firm bed and this has not "hurt" the firmness for me. You could get one, put it on the bed, lay on it and see. If you aren't happy - send it back.

I own a 3 inch and a 2 inch. My 2 inch is in the guest room and i have to say... it would work well for a back sleeper but the 3 inch is very comfortable (on my bed) for the side sleeper. It also depends on the size of the individual. My guess would be the heavier the person.. the thicker the pad? My husband is 190 pounds and the 2 or 3 inch works great.

It does hit the bottom if you lay on your side. I have another 2 inch 5lb density foam for a total of 4 inches and it is now very comfortable. My personal opinion is 4-5 inches is comfortable, anything higher will be too soft, you slump in the foam and becomes very warm/hot.

I know this was asked a while ago, but I emailed the seller after I received the mattress (which, I have only been sleeping on for two days but am very happy with so far). They emailed back that the 7-inch base layer of high-density foam is a 4lb density... not sure about the others, but the base layer is most important when determining the overall durability, comfort, etc. I consider 4lb to be perfect for me, as that is on the medium-firm side.

Sleep Innovations really only offers the one level of firmness and it's pretty firm. I read through a lot of the reviews and went with the 12 inch and got the Full Size 3 Inch Thick, 4 Pound Density Visco Elastic Memory Foam Mattress Pad Bed Topper by Memory Foam Solutions to go with it. The combination makes for an extremely soft bed and still keeps you at a very low price.

I don't know why and bought a 3" mattress since it didn't specify why. The 3" mattress fits perfectly and is comfortable and safe for our baby. But I can't imagine why you couldn't use anything other than a 2" mattress after looking at it. I'm sorry this doesn't clear up the "why" but hopefully it will help if you are looking to buy a thicker mattress and were wondering if it would fit.

The foam is 2" deep and it fits perfect over my queen size mattress, exact size. Just love it!

Anne, I love my memory foam mattresses. I have a 12" and an 8". I like them both. I bought the 12" first, and, only bought the 8", because, I like to rotate my mattress, and, the 12" is too heavy. Great comfort, no regrets Anne.

I cannot answer that technical question but I can say it is wonderful. It made our 10year old too firm mattress very comfortable so we did not have to buy a new mattress. I considered getting the 3 " & decided on the 2". I considered getting one with a cover but are using our existing mattress cover instead. We have tried the mattress "topper" that is filled with down & other products. They are ok but they get lumpy after a while. This natural latex mattress topper is great.

Hi Taisha, I'm not certain if the 4" thick isoform pad is something that you're adding to a mattress or if you're considering using this pad alone on the platform. Usually memory foam pads, as I know them, are meant to be an addition to a mattress, but you may be talking about something else. What I can tell you is I have an 8" memory foam mattress that I use with this platform and it works well and is quite comfortable, though on the firm side, which is my preference. But the firmness has more to do with the mattress and less with the frame. In fact, a slatted surface is the recommendation for memory foam as it creates the needed airflow so that the heat and mositure from our bodies does not adversely affect the mattress (too much heat can cause sagging, and moisture can create mold/mildew). Hope this info is helpful if not an exact answer to your question.

Hi Barbara, We actually bought this for a client who needed some modifications to a memory foam mattress. It fit well for him. There are so many kinds of foam products out there though the key thing is being sure you buy a pad that will fit the depth of your mattress. Measuring should be fairly simple and just be sure to order the right size of pad. Good luck! www.pamelahopedesigns.com
