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. |

Well I had to get a mattress pad ASAP, so I went to every store on this side of town (even 2 Mervyn stores), then we went to the other side of town and looked at all the dept. stores, and discount stores. I ended up at JC Penneys because of their good return policy and because it was the only mattress pad that resembled a topper, only not as thick. The one you showed in the link to Bed bath & beyond looks like vertical strips, and close together. Anyway, I looked at the backing on all of the pads and the only one that was NOT STIFF and had soft backing, and extra padding was at Penneys, it also had large boxes. It has been 2 nights, and it does change the feel of the bed, but not like a stiff hammocking effect. I may try the 1" MF if I need too. I still does need something for my hips, but the pain is less than before. I think 2" of latex may be too much. I did sink in and then my legs hurt (when I used a sheet only). But the padding in the mattress pad does soften it a bit, but I am not sinking in as much as I was, due to mattress pad and cotton sheets. I do love the spring bed again. No I don't think I could ever do the all latex, I guess I do need the springs. I did not realize how picky I am and my body is not as forgiving as it once was. Thanks for all your input, and I learn so much reading this forum. It is a real challenge to make your mattress work for you. I also learned from reading past posts about taking the cover off the latex pillow to make it softer, it actually does! The cover really was tight, I don't have pain in that area now. Before I removed the cover my ear was actually numb when I woke up every few hours. This message was modified Jun 11, 2008 by Leo3

Now I wake up with red marks covering half of my hip and leg area. Obviously the sheets and mattress pad make it tight. I tried to find the stretchy mattress cover and they are no where to be found. I decided not to try the cuddlebed because Costco here is just awful (crowded and long lines) and returning it would be too hard (if I had too). I like to see what it is before I buy. I certainly am at a loss of what to try now. |

I would give the CuddleBed a try anyway. If you DID have to return it, couldn't you go when Costco first opens? I still think you would like it.

Is the bottom of the Cuddlebed regular cotton, or is it a polyester? The boxes look the same as the Penneys mattress pad I have to take back. The reason I think it is so tight is it curls up and you have to pull it tight to get it to fit. Does the Cuddle bed have to be pulled on? Do you put regular cotton sheets on top and does it wrinkle up badly? I noticed it has a wall on the edges, doesn't that make the sheet impossible to lay flat on the top? I laughed when you said couldn't I go to Costco when it first opens, I sleep so badly that when I finally do sleep I don't get up til 9:30 or 10:00 a.m. anymore! Good idea though. I tried sleeping with my cheap jersey sheets over the latex last night and it left marks on me, and didn't feel good at all. I really need something on top of the latex or try something completely different underneath. That is two mattress pads that do not work, I am not sure anything will work! Maybe it is the latex? I tried to just sleep on the mattress and wow was that awful. |

The CuddleBed is designed to fit a mattress up to 21" high. It's not tight at all and yet it conforms very nicely...in other words, not too loose, either. It's just perfect. You do NOT have to pull it tight to fit.The bedskirt is of a high quality material that hugs the mattress wonderfully. The CuddleBed then fits right up to the edges and never slips. I know that the top fabric is a luxurious 400 count 100% cotton. Not sure about the bottom. I just know that once I put it on my mattress over my topper, it stays put. The sheets fit perfectly over the CuddleBed. No wrinkles or riding up whatsoever. I use regular cotton sheets of decent thread count. Oh come on---give it a try! I think you'll be pleased with the feel. How will you know unless you try it? That way you won't need to keep asking me questions about it. :-) I love it so much, I bought TWO! I'm keeping the new one around in case my first one "wears out". But so far, it hasn't shown any sign of wear and tear. I really like the CuddleBed!
