Would this work on an existing memory foam mattress? I have one that is 10 years old and sags in the middle, would this "revive" it?

John, my guess is not. The foam mattress will bend to the contour of your foam mattress and you will end up with a deeper sag. Have you flipped the mattress? To be sure, I would call or stop in a mattress store and ask for their thoughts. Good luck. David

I really doubt that this foam would adequately compensate for a sagging mattress under it.

If your current mattress is sagging in the middle, you need to get a new mattress. A topper will not 'revive' a sagging mattress I'm afraid.

I know it worked on regular bed which was sagging on my side it gave enough stiffness , and works great.

I don't think so. From the mattress professionals we've talked with a memory foam mattress should not be used more than seven or eight years. I had mine for 12 or 13 years before switching to an innerspring mattress with this topper. I had the Tempur-pedic, and this combo of innerspring and foam topper is even more comfortable. Best sleep I've had

Yes, absolutely. We have many customers who have used Mattress Helper on this type of memory foam mattress and are quite happy because of it. Purchase 2 of the 20" for full coverage under your mattress. Thank you.

I wouldn't think so. Memory foam mattresses generally either need a platform base or a special box spring. Do not try and use a traditional box spring with a memory foam mattress as you will not get the full support of the mattress. I tried for a month using a standard box spring then switched to a memory foam box spring and there is a definite difference, slept much better on the special box spring.

Hi Dan. it depends how thick your memory foam mattress is. if it is normal thick it should not be a problem. I have these thin Ikea mattresses (5 inch thick) and you can feel the slats under you... I need to put a set of special Ikea slats under my mattress so that it will be comfortable or double up on the thin mattress, then it is no problem. Hope this helps.

I would say yes. Mine is used on a Comforpedic mattress from Beauty Rest that is similar to a temperpedic memory foam mattress and works quite well. Deep stretchy pockets are quite adequate.

I am using a memory foam mattress. I have a 6 inch which is definitely not enough,the foam squishes down and I keep hitting my tailbone or shoulders on the slats. I think you would need a 12 or 14 inch mattress for this. My boxspring was thrown out (by mistake) so i now have my old mattress underneath the memory foam.It helped quite a bit but in all honesty the next time I'm going with a regular setup with a memory foam top (mattress). Good luck William!

If I had a new pillow top mattress that sags, I would first go back to the retailer. They may replace it and save you money. As to your question, I am not sure. I bought ours for the camper with a low quality mattress and it is the most comfortable bed we own. When I buy another I will get the 3 inch one and put a pad on top before the bottom sheet. Hope this helps.

I use 2 of them under my king mattress that sags and they don't really work. Mattres still sags a lot and it wasn't worth the money at all!! I wouldn't recommend them, but haven't been able to find anything else, and researched a lot. Everyone told me to get a new mattres the sag thing is it's only 4 years old and we're not heavy people. Again, I dont recommend them

Just a follow up to what the other folks answered, you might want to consider contacting the manufacturer of the memory foam mattress & ask about their recommendation is.

I don't see how it could work very well unless you raised and lowered each side exactly the same. I only have a single foam for my twin frame and the mattress shifts and needs readjusting regularly because I raise and lower it and read in bed a lot. Also, the bottom sheet flips off easily when I raise and lower the bed. I'd hate to be always having to adjust a king mattress and sheet. It would take a strong back.

I don't know anything about that mattress, but they send 2 valves - alike, but differently threaded. Apparently that is enough to cover the possibilities. It worked for me and the cost of the experiment was far less than the cost of a new mattress. Good luck.

I did so with the memory foam mattress I purchased for my daughter's bed without problem. Mine is on a platform foundation. Realize that the box spring configuration is less firm. I have no idea about the long term effects of putting one on a box spring. My daughter loves hers.

I put on top of my old mattress, and it worked great!I don't have a memory foam or a pillow top, but I think it will make it feel firmer.

I used it on an innerspring mattress, but I can't imagine why it wouldn't work for a foam mattress.

I would give it a go. My brother uses it on his mattress so it's worth a try.

I actually do not know the answer to this, but I tend to doubt it. I use mine on a sofa sleeper that has a very firm mattress, and it softens it up beautifully. I can only imagine the pad would sag into the existing mattress.

The sheets are deep pockets, how ever with the addition of 10 inch it will not fit and the top sheet will be to short. With the said your best bit is to sheet both the original mattress and a separate sheet for the memory foam mattress. Good luck
