keeping toppers on mattresses
|
Do any of you have problems with your toppers sliding off the top of your mattress and having to constantly straighten it out? How do you keep them on without all the shifting! Right now I have a 2 inch memory foam topper with no cover on it, on top of my SBR mattress. I want to get a new bed and a natura topper and wonder if I will continue having this problem. |

This is why I like my Ultimate CuddleBed from Costco. It makes my topper feel sooooo cushy and cozy. I highly recommend it! cloud9 wrote: I returned a couple of mattress pads due to this problem. The tight diamond stitching on most woven cotton mattress pads made to fit snuggly over the mattress with elastic sides actually produces a sort of trampoline effect when you lie on it. Couple that with the stiff liner on the bottom and it does make the mattress or the topper on the mattress feel harder. I discovered that the mattress pads that are quilted in broad horizontal bands are much softer all around and eliminate the trampoline effect completely. </p><p>Leo, I don't know if you have a Mervyn's nearby, but they carry both the mattress pad I just described as well as a stretch terry one that sounds just like what you're looking for. If you don't have a local Mervyn's try their website at mervyns.com</p><p> |

Re: keeping toppers on mattresses
| Do you know what the mattress cover is called or who makes it? I wouldn't know what to ask for. I wonder if Walmart or somewhere else has it? I wish Costco didn't charge a fee or I would look for the Cuddlebed you guys have. Also that other topper they no longer make that some of you like. SO disappointing that you can't even get that now. Sigh..... |

It's only sold at Costco.com amd there's no fee. You don't even have to be a member. You can use any credit card, too. Shipping and handling is included. http://www.costco.com/Browse/Productgroup.aspx?Prodid=11189730&whse=BC&topnav=&browse=&lang=en-US It's too bad that Penneys no longer has the Dream Coil pad. Maybe you can write or call Carpenter and ask if they'll sell you one or direct you to where you can: http://www.carpenter.com/divisions/consumer-products/foamPillows.php <--------------------Click on Bedding on left sidebar and then on the bottom, click on Omalon and read about it.

Sigh..... If you can hold out for a bit longer I'll swing by Mervyns the middle of next week and get that information for you. I was just on their website--not very useful since you can't order merchandise online. Ithink Target also has a mattress pad with wide ribbed bands of quilting, but I couldn't swear to it. But Mervyns stretch terry pad really sounds like it's exactly what you're looking for. |

That would help to know the brand and maybe I can google it or call somewhere. |
Re: keeping toppers on mattresses
| I think it might have been their own brand. I'll check this week. Look for a post on Thursday, |

Thanks BeddyBye. It doesn't seem to be obvious you don't have to have a membership card on their website. Have you, or anyone, returned something that you bought online from Costco, and that you are not a member? Do they throw you out of the store and laugh at you? I never liked that store, found customer service not so customer friendly. I sent an email to Carpenter, will see what they say. |

Leo, I swung my Mervyns Wednesday. The reason you couldn't find either of those two mattress pads is because they recently discontinued and closed them out. There were just a few of the ribbed pads left in a twin size and all of the stretch terrys were gone. Darn! That terry pad seemed like it was exactly what you were looking for. Why is it they always discontinue the really good products while the so-so ones are stocked forever? I poked around online and wasn't able to come up with another stretch terry pad anywhere. Bed Bath and Beyond does have a ribbed pad. Looks similar to the one I have and like. It's the Laura Ashley Home Overfilled Ribbed pad with a cotton top. Sells for $29.99 and you can find it in the store so you can take a look at it. Sorry. I think you missed that stretch terry pad by about three weeks. This message was modified Jun 6, 2008 by cloud9

Same with the Brylane topper I had to get twin and I needed queen. Do you think my latex is not as soft because I have layered two? I went and bought a Penneys zoned latex pillow for the reason that it was 50% off and they may stop making them! I do like those pillows. The mattress cover is just like the one I have with vertical lines (I thought you said horizontal lines spaced far apart); I used my seam ripper and removed some of those lines (stitching) yesterday. I don't know if it helped because I still had pain because I still used the featherbed! I have to find a place to store it. It is past 60 days so I can't take it back to Linens N Things. I could contact Pacific Coast but it sounds like a nightmare, and they would probably just send me another one that would compress in 2 months again. Kohl's has a 5 zone topper by Carpenter (PU foam) and it might help and then again in might not! It is on sale. I need to see Kohl's return policy. I am tired of wasting money I don't have. Thanks for checking, what a bummer. This message was modified Jun 6, 2008 by Leo3
