Anyone notice the pad moving around once you've laid in the bed? It seems all of my toppers have to be realigned every day or so. Also, Does the pad have a noticeable smell to it?

My topper does not move around so much that I have to realign it every morning. On another note, yes, the topper did have an atrocious odor to it when I first opened the package. This smell went away after a month or so

Upon first opening it did have "that smell". But the smell subsided after being opened for a few days. This is being used on my sons college dorm bed and there have been no complaints of it moving around on the bed but he also uses a mattress pad over the top of it so that may help to keep it in place.

We keep a very good pad on it - so haven't really thought about it. I had to get deeper pocket sheets to accommodate - we are very happy with the topper

Mine smells like I would expect new furniture to smell. No issues storing my blankets in here :)

It does have the foam smell at first, but once it is aired out and expanded for a day or so, there is no smell. I absolutely love our 3" memory foam topper and have since purchased two more.

Mine has no tag on it or brand. Also my topper is about 2 inches to short on each side of the bed. I ordered a queen and have a queen size bed. The topper makes my cheap mattress feel so much better though!! The only problem is mine wasn't the full length of my bed and I sleep on the edge of the bed. Other than that it's comfortable. Also, mine didn't come with a mattress pad cover that it states

I have noticed the pad is warmer on the bottom than the top. I tried turning it over with the same results. My only conclusion is the pad gets warmer when the animal is laying on it. As for the coils, did you inflate the pad? I personally haven't sat on mine, but my orange cat seems to find it quite comfortable.

The 2" is very comfortable for me, but I've read other comments that recommend the 3" for heavier people. On a side note, I need to add something to my review. This topper had no odor when I first got it. After a few months, I flipped it over and the smell was BAD. I left it turned over to allow the smell to dissipate but couldn't stand it after several hours. I finally turned it back to the original side until I find some other place for it to air out.

I have had a similar problem with a previous memory foam mattress topper. However, the Lucid does not seem to move around at all in the months since I started using it. Also, using a fitted bottom sheet helps keep it in place.

when I first got it, it had been boxed up and was tightly wrapped so I left it spread out for a couple of days and had no problem what so ever with it after that. there was no smell or any issue. it is the most comfortable sleep I have had and is so comfortable. I love it and would recommend it to anyone trying to improve their sleep situation. I have had no problems with mine.

There are pads that go between the feet and topper. I have had mine since about November and have had no water issues.

I have not washed mine yet but to be honest, I don't notice it smelling any longer. I don't store mine in the box when not in use. Because I have such chronic problems with my neck, I hang it on the headboard of my bed when I'm done with it.

I'm sorry I can't help you, Jerry. Mine is relatively new and therefore, I have not yet washed and dried it. When I do get ready to wash and dry it, I will dry it on a low setting because that's what I generally use. I can tell you that I love this mattress pad because it is soooooo comfy.

Im not sure I am the best one to answer: I have not used this every day. But I have sometimes rinsed it in hot water or washed off the pad with soap and water. I have not replaced it at all. It is doiing fine for me. If worried, I might clean it with a stronger detergent or maybe rinse with alcohol or something. I guess if it got too grungy I would replace it, but that has not happened so far. As I say, I may not be the best person to answer this question. In any case I am happy with it.

We have the queen size topper. It's large, somewhat heavy and very unweildy. IMHO it would not be feasible to remove it every morning and put it back each night unless you have a huge closet to put it into or don't mind seeing it on display on the floor of your living room or bedroom. Also I would be concerned about it getting dirty or damaged and possibly even drying out. We have ours under a fitted mattress pad which has avoided any of these three things happening. I sure wouldn't want to have to take it off the bed every night and find a place for it, and then put it back the next evening!. We have the queen size topper.

I aired it out for about 3 days. I laid it on a pad (towel) so any odor wouldn't get in the carpet. This is about the 4th pad I've had and I didn't think the smell was strong after airing it out. I put it under the mattress pad. There was a slight odor, but nothing bad. I think we're pretty sensitive to odors, since everything we use if non-fragrance. It really didn't bother me. Hope this helps.

You have to spread it out and let it air out (I think for 24 to 48 hours) before putting on the bed. I think the directions that come with the topper say that, but it's been a while since I bought it so can't remember for sure. I had no problem with odor after the initial airing.

I just bought mine and turns out the majority of the bad smell upon unpacking it had settled into the removable velour pillow case. Washing the case immediately and letting the pillow itself continue to air near a window really helped to make it usable the first night. It had a faint, noticeable smell again by the next morning, but nowhere near as bad as when first opened. More airing and changing pillow cases every day the first few days should eliminate the remaining odor fairly quickly.
