I'd get the 1" Sensus from overstock.com:

Hmm. That hotlink does not seem to work. Copy and paste this:

Since the largest sizes are the same price as the smallest at overstock, order the largest size then use the leftover for pillows or whatever ... For example, I buy the King and then cut it into halves and then I have 2 x twin toppers.

I have a different take on it than zzzzzz.. I think sometimes 1 or 2 inches of memory foam is enough. It depends on what you have under it and how soft you need it, how heavy you are, how sensitive your body is to pressure points, etc. etc. etc. So 1" might be enough, and I think usually 2" is enough for most people, and usually 3" is too much. But some people sleep on Tempurpedic which is similar to Sensus and sleep on what? 4" or so of it and love it... So YMMV...

In my opinion the more expensive Venus foam is not worth it. But again, others' mileage may vary.

If it is real Sensus, that is an excellent product.  If you would like to sleep on a marshmallow, don't hesitate to try Sensus.  A nice high quality, long lasting memory foam.

I think it is cute that Overstock uses the same stock photo for both Venus and Sensus.
