We have 3 of the Visco Elastic foam memory toppers. One is 3 inches and the other two are 4 inches. So we have 11 inches of memory foam over the old mattress. Alan would shoot me if I ever try and replace what we have in the bedroom. You climb up and get in this bed and you don't want to get off. No pinchy places, no bones hitting anything. Obviously, this can't be to everyone's taste. And if I had my way, and I had the money, I'd throw out everything and pay $1000 for a brand new Temperpedic mattress.

But until I get rich I'll just sleep on this cloud of comfort. The 4 inch one comes with two pillows. We got them all from Overtstock.com. Very cheap too. And it sure was better than buying the whole mattress.

And the best part about buying a mattress topper is no one knows you are getting it. If I bought a brand new mattress, all the neighbors (including my landlord), would see this mattress truck drive up and they would go, "Oh, Melody is purchasing a brand new mattress, my, she must be doing well for herself". Believe me, landlords LOVE to say this.

So we bought (at different times), the 3 mattress toppers. They come all compressed and they come in a box about 2 feet high. You would never know they contain a foam topper.

You uncompress it and lay it on a table where it has to breathe for one day.

We did this 3 times. You should see the thickness of the 4 inch one. It's amazing.

I'm telling you, Alan is in love with our bed. So we have a mattress and 3 mattress toppers, and all this is over a box spring.

If we didn't have the mattress toppers, my bed would be so low, we'd be on the floor.
