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 am not sure about the difference, but the regular is the exact pad that my physical therapy office uses. It works great

The gel is just some little blue beads scattered throughout the foam. I don't think it makes much difference one way or the other. This is our first mattress topper, so I don't really know if non-gel would be warmer.

It's memory foam but not the super dense kind. It's lightweight.love it for myself

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.

Gel foam is more firm (less sinky) and supposedly cooler sleeping. I dont think you want this mattress less sinky, because it already does not sink link a tempurpedic. I never noticed any heat build up in the foam, but i have a mattress pad on it. So that is about it, except the obvious answer, which is....$100.00

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.

Actually the hard cup is much better. My husband has been using one for years as recommended by our doctor. The support is much better and it is much more comfortable. I tried all the popular gels with no relief and finally listened to my husband's recommendation. In addition, they never wear out. I had to get mine on Amazon because they are difficult to find.

I'm not sure what you mean by gel component; the entire mattress is memory foam.

The mixture of gel and memory foam stays cool, whereas the memory foam itself is unable to remain cool.

This does have memory foam but I'm not positive it is exactly the "sitsmart pro", definitely not the basic edition.

the foam is almost like my tempur pedic bed 2000 dollars worth....its not much difference... i got the gel one bec in summer when you lay down on the mattress it feels warm and hot under the sheet....with the gel it should help to cool the bed while youre lying on it.

This pillow is alright but I bought the Sleep Innovations Reversible Gel Memory Foam Pillow at the same time. I am a back sleeper also. I don't know what the difference is but the Gel Memory Foam Pillow is much better. That's my opinion.

Sorry I prematurely answered the question I didn't realize you were talking about the king mattress (mine was queen). I just looked at the Sam's website and found the king mattress and yes they do appear to be the same mattress gel layer and all! If I was shopping for a king mattress I would by the one from Sam's not the sleep innovations or the one from amazon since the price is much higher.
