Is it true that you shouldn't let your dog sleep on your child's bed if your child has allergies?2" Ventilated Gel Memory Foam Mattress Topper by Lucid® This 2" thick gel-infused memory foam mattress topper will bring new life to any mattress. The ventilated gel-infused memory foam captures and distributes heat, allows air flow, and helps regluate sleeping temperature - keeping you cool and comfortable while you sleep. Open cell construction yields a longer lasting, more resilient foam that allows you to move freely without sinking into long-lasting body impressions. The soft consistency quickly conforms to weight and pressure. This mattress topper will help relieve neck, back and shoulder pain by reducing pressure points.
This in turn helps to correctly align your spine by supporting the natural curves of your head, neck and shoulders. Our unique memory foam formula is naturally resistant to allergens and dust mites. The 3-Year warranty provides increased peace of mind for your purchase. Ventilated for Air Flow By: Jana L Vance on Nov 16,2016 I love this memory foam mattress topper! It is only 2 inches thick, but feels like a mattress. My sheets still fit perfectly! And I am sleeping soundly and with less backaches when I wake in the morning! I don't want to get out of bed now! By: Caitlin Messick on Nov 13,2016 At first, Meh... but then YES Upon taking this mattress topper out of the box I thought I would be disappointed. It smelled a little funky and it had creases where it had been folded. However, the next morning I realized just how comfortable I was! That's an unusual feeling for my sad mattress. This topper is excellent. The smell completely disappeared, and so quickly that I didn't even notice it that first night.
It is comfortable and makes sleeping a really pleasant experience. The creases and the smell went away quickly. I would definitely recommend it. By: Riley on Nov 03,2016 Makes an Old Bed Feel Like New This is a really great memory foam mattress. This mattress has given us a new bed, we have a hand me down bed that is not the most comfortable and from time to time causes my back to hurt. Now, however, with this product I feel like we have a completely new bed and my back hasn't hurt yet. Also the two inches of padding is just the right amount, it is deep and soft enough that it forms around your body, but it is not so deep that it makes it difficult to roll or move around on. Also the ventilation is a nice feature and I haven't had any issues with overheating while using this mattress topper. Overall this is a great product and I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone interested in a memory foam mattress topper. For more, watch our interactive video.

Common claims that haven’t held up in our tests: Foam Layers Make a Better Bed More innerspring mattresses now include foam on top. But the foam is often too thin to make a difference on some of the hybrid models. Hybrid innerspring models that scored well in our tests had a foam layer several inches thick, though performance still varied. More Coils, the Better The better innerspring models we tested had 600 to 1,000 coils. But even if one mattress has more coils than another, the coils could be made of thinner-gauge metal. You’ll also hear about coil variations such as Bonnell (hourglass type), continuous wire, and individually pocketed springs. None of those is inherently superior. Gel Provides a Cooler Sleep Some mattresses (noted in our Ratings) have a layer of gel-infused foam that’s supposed to provide a cooling effect. But that layer is buried beneath other layers. While our tests have shown that innerspring mattresses containing gel did tend to sleep slightly cooler, the reverse was true with gel-infused foam beds.
Extra Lumbar Support Helps Back Sleepers A special lumbar-support zone is one of many ways manufacturers try to differentiate their product lines. But there’s no guarantee that it makes any real difference, and it hasn’t shown significant benefits in our tests. Forget About Comparison Shopping If you like a mattress at one store and ask elsewhere for something similar, you're likely to be steered toward a same-brand mattress claimed to have the same construction, components, and firmness. But they’re probably not the same. Mattress makers offer some lines nationally, but when those brands are sold through major chains such as Macy's, Sears, and Sleepy’s, they're for lines exclusive to those chains. And manufacturers don't publish a directory of comparable mattresses. When we went to three bedding chains and asked for mattresses similar to those we’d bought at three department stores, five of the six were way off the mark. So use our Ratings as a guide, and insist on the precise make and model that scored well in our tests.
Also check our Ratings of mattress brands and stores, based on subscriber surveys. If possible, lie on any mattress that you’re considering. Wear loose clothes and shoes you can slip off. Make yourself comfortable, and shoo away the salesperson if you’re feeling pressured. Salespeople should expect you to take your time. Spend at least five or ten minutes on each side and on your back (your stomach, too, if that's a preferred sleeping position). Panelists who took beds home for a month-long trial rarely changed the opinion they formed after the first night. Shopping online or at a warehouse club? Tryouts aren’t usually an option, so checking return policies before you buy is extra important. Make sure the store offers a full refund or credit toward another mattress. Return periods, often called “comfort guarantees,” range from a couple of weeks to 120 days. Some retailers, including Macy’s and Sears, charge a 15-percent restocking fee. Costco and some online sellers provide free pickup if you want a refund or exchange, but otherwise, you’ll have to pay for it—or cart the mattress to the store.
