I was at Costco yesterday and I saw that they had a 2.5" gel / memory foam topper.  I do not see it on their website, so maybe at stores only.  They had a sample hanging there, and it that felt interesting.   I am wondering if anyone has tried it?   I think it was around $150, depending on size.

I tried this again last night with 1" 19 ILD blended latex on top of it.  I like it better that way.  I still sink in a fair amount, but it definitely molds to the body and reduces pressure points.  Has a softer feel than the other memory foams I have tried.  Definitely not for the sensitive back people, but it did not cause problems for me.

 

It might work for those want a soft feel, and a lot of body molding pressure point reduction.  Maybe better for those on the lighter side as well.

I still think a bit too soft for me, but in a way more comfortable that the Overstock memory foams I have. 

Got a bit warm, probably because of the sinking in and being more surrounded by foam.

Seems to have some odor still, so worse in that regard than other memory foams I have tried.

I might try with 24 ILD latex over and 1" less overall.  Still searching for the right type of memory foam for me.  Hard to find that sweet spot. 


So sandman, are you still using this gel topper?  Or did you take it back?  If using, are you still using the 19 ILD latex on top?

No, I took it back.  It was too soft/thick for me.  Right now my top 3" are 1" of 19ILD blended latex, 1" of 5.3 lb.(actually 5.9) memory foam from foamonline, 1" of 24 ILD 100% natural latex.   This goes over 2" of 32 ILD 100% natural latex over Sealy coils.   I also have 1" inch of 5lb Sensus, but I have not been using that lately,

I am fairly happy with this setup.  I have been playing around lately with what to put on top.  I have a 1" wool topper that I am not using right now.  I have been using a simple cotton filled mattress pad + a washable wool filled Natura pad over that.

I bought this because I was having trouble sleeping with sore hips.  Having tried other products I wasn't sure how this one would work.  I'm glad I got it.  It is the best mattress topper I have ever tried.  It supports you, relieves pressure points, doesn't let you sink in too much and doesn't get hot.  I love it and would purchase another one.

This sure sounds extremely similar to the Serta Icomfort and their both made by sleep innovations.
