Choose your memory foam mattress topper based on its use. For everyday use, a higher weight (density) memory foam mattress topper will not wear down and form body depressions or soft spots, while the cheaper ones eventually will wear out right where your hips are. Density doesn’t refer to how hard the memory foam mattress topper is, just how heavy it is. The heavier it is the longer it will last. We’ve had such great results with our 5-pound memory foam mattress topper that we warrant it will not soften or form any depressions for 10 years.
How do you sleep? Side sleepers usually like the 3"–4" thickness. Back and stomach sleepers usually like 2". The more you weigh, the thicker you’ll want.
Are you a hot sleeper? If so, be sure to use a mattress pad between your memory foam topper and your sheets to add a breathable area to wick away heat. Because memory foam tears easily and can become soiled, consider adding a case to protect your memory foam.
Based on customer feedback, people really like how our memory foam mattress topper has little to no smell, and that there are no flame retardants added to our memory foam mattress topper.
We occasionally source both yellow and charcoal colored memory foam mattress toppers, depending on material availability and quality. Memory foam mattress topper color can change from yellow to brown over time from exposure to air and sunlight. A memory foam mattress topper may come out of its original packaging already starting to discolor. This is a natural quality of the foam and will not in any way affect its performance or warranty. This discoloration may look like a stain. The color of the memory foam mattress topper is not warranted and it will not be replaced because of discoloration, since this is a natural expectation of any memory foam mattress topper. Store all memory foam toppers flat after opening to prevent ripping.
Despite the fact that there are few visible indications that speak for the quality of a memory foam mattress topper, you can still easily find out the quality. A low-end quality memory foam mattress topper (available at most stores that carry bedding) has a density of 4.0 lbs/ft³ or less. Dense memory foam mattress pads, like the ones we sell at FoamOrder.com, should have 5 lbs/ft³ as the listed density. A 5-lb memory foam mattress pad can be used for 10 years (realistically), maybe 20 years (optimistically), before it becomes soft and loses its resistance.
