If I use this on a memory foam mattress will it inhibit the contouring properties of the mattress?

I don't feel like it does. My mattress is memory foam, and the pad works perfectly well with it.

Be careful; this is a mattress cover, it's not a mattress pad. In short, there is no padding whatsoever. It will not affect or inhibit the properties of the mattress. I was disappointed because I expected the cover to have some substance to it, in essence it's a thin material designed to protect against spills or staining. Because of it's design, you don't get the snug fit of a pad, the corners don't have the elasticity of a pad. I've had it now for approximately six months and fortunately haven't had any spills to test its ability to repel liquids.

The cover is thin but very well made, and water proof, it should not in anyway inhibit the mattress..

I want to say one thing. It WILL inhibit the contouring BUT just slightly. ANYTHING put on the mattress top will inhibit the contouring even a sheet. I would rather have my expencive mattress protected than worry about contouring of my body. You will find in the summer months you will NOT like all that contouring because it will make your body hot and sitcky. YOU NEED AIR BETWEEN YOUR BODY AND THE MATTRESS. Believe me on that.The top of the protector ( the terry cloth ) will help some but not much.

No. These mattress covers are made for memory foam mattresses. The side of the cover that contacts the mattress has a waterproof material to protect the foam. I use mine on a Tempurpedic mattress with no problems.

Depends on what ys un the pillow. Will not work as well, if at all, under foam or latex pillow. I leave it on top of pillow . If I roll on to it during my sleep the smooth contour shape snd the fact that it "sinks" into pillow doeasn't bother me. Trying to adjust volume with switch is not very good

The mattress is solid memory foam so technically yes. The reality though IMO is that a typical person would not have access to the tools necessary to cut this material without turning it into a wacked out mess.

Well, we do use on our memory foam topper, but . . . we've only ever used it on the lowest setting. So, I can only answer to that. :) btw . . . it works on low, really well. Our memory foam topper is pretty hard (aka "the brick") and this makes it sooo nice, as it soften it up.

I haven't tried(on memory foam) but I'm sure you can with a very shape blade. I have cut very thick cushion foam and I've cut that egg crate foam to fit a smaller bed without ant problems. Good luck

Yes. My mattress was so firm it was making my hips sore because i sleep on my side. This made a huge difference in the softness. It's really a nice product.

Yes it can as long as it gives good support and does not have large gaps between wood or springs. Avoid foundations made from all metal that have large open spaces. Although inexpensive this type of foundation reduces the life of your mattress because of improper support.

The way it is set up under the sheet it will blow the cool air over the top of the mattress pad and under the sheet. Couldn't imagine it would make that much of a difference but I do not have a memory foam so can't give you a definite answer on that. Sorry

It's possible! It depends how firm your mattress is in comparison to the topper. If the topper is softer than it will help! The topper is pretty firm but it contours to your body.

Been using mine for months (less than a year) and can tell no difference in the firmness or shape. The manufacture recommends a mattress pad which I'm sure will help prolong the life of the memory foam.

Depends on how thick your current padding is but sheets fitting are not a problem for me. I would remove the old padding I think to get the full benefit of the Memory Foam IMHO!!!

I'm not sure how it would react on a memory foam mattress. Our mattress is a pillowtop that had flattened over the years, so I use ours for the added pillowtop comfort. It has extended the life of our mattress. I will say that it is an extremely comfortable topper and I would definitely purchase one again in the future.

Should be fine. I used it on a steel bed frame with 2 inch grids directly under the mattress. The mattress is not thick but I can not feel the grids even when I try to press hard on it. This is much better than I thought and I am very impressed.

I'm not sure about a memory foam mattress, but I would say it depends on the weight of the mattress. I have an adjustable air mattress, and it's very easy to raise. In order to lower back to flat, you have to raise it all the way to 90°, then it lowers. Even with the air mattress I have to make sure I let some air out before it will raise easily to the 90° position, so that it bends with the frame. Might be a little tricky with just 1 person, but still won't be terribly difficult!

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

Sure, but be careful. If you aren't precise and go slowly, you'll wind up with jagged edges. That won't impact the performance of the mattress, of course.

The mattress segments are contained in a cloth shell. Trimming would destroy the shell and probably lead to accelerated degradation of the foam core. IMHO, doable, but not advisable.
