This review is for "Alternative Latex Foam" 2 Inch Mattress Topper. I felt I needed to improve the mattress in our new RV as the foam mattress although fairly comfortable could benefit from the addition of a softer more body contouring topper. I've tried several memory foam mattress toppers in the past, and all of them had the same issue. After a few minutes you are sleeping in a hole that you cannot get out of. All of them ended up in the trash. I don't care what they say. Sleeping in a hole is not comfortable. And the way they advertise memory foam toppers you don't know what you are getting until after you buy it. By chance prior to my purchasing a topper, I spent the night at my son's house and the bed was extremely comfortable. No back ache in the morning and a blissful night's sleep. I had to know what mattress was on this bed. Come to find out it was only the addition of this Alternative Foam Mattress Topper to a cheap mattress that made the bed so comfortable. So, I immediately purchased one for the RV. I can only comment on my experience. This mattress topper is totally different. It provides superior total full body support over and above what you receive from memory foam. Equally the same support you would receive from a full latex mattress topper at less than 1/4 of the cost. I can only describe the comfort and body contouring support you receive from this topper as nothing less than outstanding. Unlike a memory foam mattress when you lie on this mattress topper your body heat does not affect the support quality of the topper. When you move the mattress topper instantly returns back to its original shape allowing you to move as you wish without any restrictions to your movement. You get full total body contouring support no matter how you sleep. In my opinion this Alternative Foam Mattress Topper provides every bit the comfort I get from a $700 Latex Mattress Topper that I have is on our home bed. So far, I have only tested the two-inch topper because I have it on a fairly comfortable foam mattress. On a regular bed the 3 inch may be a better choice. And if you are over 200 lbs. like me. The 3-inch thickness might provide a better level of support. I have found that the topper can sleep warm so a breathable thick mattress pad will remove much of the heat if you are a warm sleeper. I highly recommend this Alternative Foam Topper over a memory foam topper.

I absolutely love this latex mattress topper. I've been buying toppers for years due to back injuries and lately, I've found they become too soft in 6 months and by a year, you're ready to throw it out or consider back surgery. I wanted to try this latex gel infused topper to see if it would provide better/firmer support. The mattress is packed nicely, easy to open and fluffed out immediately. Over time, it will continue to fill out low areas (if any - I didn't notice any on mine). It had only a slight odor which disappeared within hours. (It does not come with a cover so you will want to purchase one. I used my previous topper's cover that fit it perfectly.) The latex is firmer than memory foam toppers I've used before. I couldn't believe how well it supported my old, creaky, body and I woke up without any low back pain this a.m. for the first time in a many months. Being new to this type of topper, I look forward to seeing how well it continues to provide such great support and comfort. As of now, I am very, very, happy with it.

This mattress pad is very comfortable. There is, however, a pungent chemical smell. I don’t know what it is exactly but I hate it. I am hoping it goes away after time. it’s all I can smell when I lay down.

I recently purchased the gel memory mattress, and I couldn't be happier with my decision. From the very first night, it has significantly improved the quality of my sleep. The mattress strikes the perfect balance between firmness and softness. It offers excellent support for my back while still feeling incredibly plush and comfortable. I no longer wake up with aches and pains, which has been a game-changer for my daily routine. One of the standout features is its cooling technology. Even during the hot summer nights, the mattress stays cool and breathable, ensuring I sleep comfortably without overheating. The motion isolation is another big plus. My partner and I can move around without disturbing each other, which is fantastic. I also appreciate the eco-friendly materials used in the construction. It's reassuring to know that I'm sleeping on a mattress that is good for the environment and free from harmful chemicals. The delivery and setup process was seamless. The mattress arrived promptly, and the setup was straightforward. The customer service team was responsive and helpful, answering all my questions with patience and expertise. Overall, the gel memory foam, mattress has exceeded my expectations in every way. It has transformed my sleep experience, and I wake up feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the day. I highly recommend it to anyone in need of a new mattress. It's an investment in better sleep that you won't regret!

Love it. Super comfy. Great value. Hurt my back the first night but once it fully expanded, it was much more comfortable. Give it the full amount of time.

Game changer for comfort on a rather firm mattress. I got the king 2" and it took no more than a matter of minutes for expansion after unrolling from packaging. I was so pleased with this I ordered the queen 3" for a futon and same results. They are very comfortable. Hope they last quite a while. Can't go wrong with the price.

This mattress topper definitely felt good from a softness perspective but I wanted a cooling effect as I struggle to sleep if I am too warm. This topper not only was not cool but the bed became much hotter and more uncomfortable. I even tried layering a cooling mattress cover over it hoping to reduce the effect of the heat but it was still uncomfortably warm. It seems too amplify versus reduce the heat from my body. I am returning it as it is unusable for me.

I have bought it to put over a camping inflatable mattress. Both to protect the mattress and to provide some breatability. I have used my mouth to suck air through it and some air can pass. July is hot and PVC inflatable mattress will get you damp with your own sweat if you do not add something. We were drier with this one in july than we were with another one in colder september. Good memory foam mattress topper.

Amazon Basics Cooling Gel-Infused Memory Foam Mattress Topper, 3", 'Medium-Feel Memory Foam'. Aaand...UPDATE #3: An older family member with leg/back problems tried this topper with his med-firm foam mattress. The pain that kept him awake when lying in bed was relieved immediately, for full nights of sleep now. Different strokes for different folks! UPDATE #2: OK, the winds have changed ... this topper has become a fairly useful addition with a med-firm foam mattress. Legs and arms appreciate the additional softness. The topper was not useful previously with a hybrid( pocket-coil and foam), and an inner-springs mattress. This novel can now conclude! UPDATE #1: No real change from original opinion. - When tried on a regular firm spring mattress the result was pretty much the same firm feel, as the topper compressed under both the body-weights tried (150-185lb). No significant softening effect. When the load was concentrated by sitting up in bed the topper really had no effect at all. - On a hybrid foam and pocket-springs mattress, which had a depression after a few years' use, it seemed to improve the feel slightly, if not the actual depression. - Minor offf-gassing odour after a few days, none after a week. THOUGHTS: I wonder if a better bet might be the type of topper that has the firmer foam base-layer under the softer foam top layer? Or not... Overall, I suspect that if you need a new mattress, you need a new mattress. ORIGINAL REVIEW: PROS: As the size in the regular listing was out of stock, I bought this through Amazon warehouse deals at a nice discount. It arrived opened from the original packing, as was stated at purchase, but it was well rolled in two layers of protection and in a suitable box for transit. It was clean and unmarked. The size is correct for the mattress. Odour is present, but it is not as remarkably pungent as some reviewers have noted. There is a recommended 72hrs airing to dissipate. CONS: The product is unexpectedly soft. Very, very soft. Perhaps I am not sufficiently familiar with these toppers, but I expected more density in the material from the item description for what is, essentially, a soft layer of foam which compresses readily to nothing. (I'm happy to ignore the advertised 'cooling' aspect of any of these products - I don't believe in the Tooth Fairy, either...) In fairness, I will let it air out for a few days, try it on a bed, and update this review. I really want this to work. Two stars - for the discount and the meticulous warehouse presentation. Hoping to be able to update for more...

super comfortable

Exactement ce que je recherchais. Confortable et ne conserve pas la chaleur.

This is the 3rd memory foam topper I had over the years (and beds) so I have a comparison. And this one is good. Solid 2 inches of foam give it just enough thickness to make sleeping on my side very comfortable. As any memory foam you feel a bit "enclosed" in it at first but just to a comfortable degree. Also, just like any memory foam it does block air circulation from the bottom so I added a quilted pad/cover on top of it which helps and I only feel slightly warmer than before. Overall, I am very happy with the purchase and I recommend it.
