I have the 4" sleep innovations. Has anyone had the 4" and bought an 8" or 10" after that? IS THERE A GREAT DIFFERENCE IN COMFORT BETWEEN THE 3?

I have the 4.5" on my sofa and the 8" in the camper. To me (150 lbs) they are both comfortable and I cannot feel anything through them. My husband (250 lbs) does not like the 4.5" because he can still feel the bars on the sofa. On a flat surface like the floor it is ok, but the 8" is more comfortable.

I have not experienced the 4" only the 8" and that I can tell you is very comfortable. I'm sure the 10" would be even a tad bit more comfortable. Hope that helps...

I used this 8" mattress and it works really nice. Sleep Innovations 8-Inch SureTemp Memory Foam Mattress 20-Year Warranty, Twin

I'm heavy, 200+, and wish I would have gone with the 10". I hate the 12", no good support at all. Woman at customer service at Lucid said the 10" would have been better. Hope this helps.

I recently purchased an 11" Brentwood mattress for school. Now, I have only owned the mattress for a few weeks, and have slept on it a total of about 5 times, so I am by no means as experienced with this mattress as others. With that being said, I spent some time in the local mattress stores exploring options because I was also on the fence about the 9" vs 11". What I tended to notice in the store was that the thinner mattresses were slightly firmer than their thicker counterparts. The 11" Brentwood is a medium firm, but a very comfortable sort of firm (i.e. you don't sink into the mattress more than a few inches, but it is really supportive). I imagine that the 9" would be just the slightest bit more firm, which could be great if you like a firmer bed. As for the gel keeping you cool, again I can't speak to much of the 9", but the 11" keeps me cool, which is great because I usually wake up hot in my tempur-pedic at home. Last I looked there was about a $40 difference between the 9" and 11" which is a significant difference for a mattress under $400. Really the decision for me was do I want to pay an extra $40 for 2 inches of foam and a maybe slightly more supportive mattress. I ultimately decided yes, but you (more that likely) will be happy with either.

I have not found the sleep innovation 4" topper hot. I love sleeping on it and I can honestly say, I have not slept so well in a long time. I love this topper. Amen

I went with the thicker mattress for my TT. The down side of that is it makes getting into bed a little difficult due to the increased highth from the floor. TTs have a storage area under the bed. Great sleep!

I got the 11 inch because of the "gel-infused" layer. The mattress was for my daughter but she is a "furnace" and the gel layer seems to help her sleep cooler. The foam technology seems to sleep warmer than traditional mattresses.

I bought the dream foam mattress in the 10 inch version. I have a cranky back and find it difficult to get comfortable. This mattress did the trick for me. I would call it medium firm With just enough give for sleeping on your side. Its wonderful.

I had exactly the same complaint about my old pillow, and exactly the same dilemma as yours: which height and firmness I should specify for the new one. I'm also a (mostly) side sleeper. I believe the "right" answer will end up being a matter of personal preference. What worked for me may not feel right to you. That said, here's my experience: I rolled the dice and ordered the High and Firm pillow. I unpackaged it and thought "This thing is too big and hard" but I followed the manufacturer's reco and let it sit, unused, for a couple of days. Then I gave it a try and I found it to be perfect from Day One. 19 months later, I'm still loving the pillow.

I have really bad lower back pain also - this particular mattress is VERY firm - for me personally a little too firm and not enough cushion for my hips (side sleeper) and shoulder so we just ordered and got yesterday a 3in mattress topper with a 4lb density which seemed to really help - my husband loves the firm mattress and had no complaints. If this is too firm you might look at the 14 inch from innovations - apparently that one is a bit softer.

The benefit is the same, its just a matter of convenience. Our 4" is designed to be very portable and travel size so it really depends on what your needs and wants are. Both will do the same and give you the same benefits.

I have a pillow top bed too, its about a 3" inch difference. However the bed is a little deep. So you will need to bend down to get baby. My son will be 4 months, I love this sleeper! I used it since day 1! He loves sleeping in it for naps & sleeps in it overnight. It is worth the $30!

Hey. I think either will work well. I have an 8 inch mattress on mine. The 8 inch is more comfortable when I tried them in the store.

I have the 12" for my bed and the 8" for guests. My mother is a side sleeper, and she slept great on this bed! Since it conforms to your body, it gives great support. You will not need two pillows!

I purchased a 10" memory foam mattress on amazon. Works well, my son says it is the best mattress ever. Mattress was delivered to front door with free shipping due to Amazon prime.

mine has been great and such a joy re sleep and comfort. it appears and seems to be 4 inch of gel foam to me and all the same stuff by the looks and feel. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for comfort and sleep. fits well with the mattress that I have and will spread out the usefulness for quite awhile I think. good luck with you decision and for me, I would recommend it.
