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. |
Try keeping the topper underneath a fitted mattress pad. My topper stays firmly in place since it has no way to slide around. |
cloud9, thanks for responding so my idea of putting the pad under a mattress pad was correct that it would work and then a fitted sheet would make it stay put even more so. I hope this helps the poster. |
the mattress I have right now is a twin xl and its almost impossible to find a fitted sheet deep enough for just the mattress, let alone a topper on it! |
How thick is the bed Cinnabon? You can find 17-18" fitted sheets can't you? At Ross they have them. As for covers I am using a mattress cover, but I think it makes the topper harder (in my opinion). I would like to find a terry cloth or thick jersey material that stretches so you can feel the topper's softness. But so far I have not found this type of fabric. Jersey fitted sheets are too thin for my liking. Regular sheets make the topper to firm for me too. But that is just me ; ) |
My topper is tucked in snuggly under my Ultimate CuddleBed fitted mattress fiberbed-like pad. But before I had that, I just put a regular, fitted, quilted mattress pad over the topper. It never slips at all. Stays right where it's supposed to. It's important to have deep enough of a fitted skirt to fit around your mattress and topper. |
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. 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

Thanks for the info! Not sure what the horizontal mattress pad looks like. You don't have a link to it do you? I tried Mervyns.com and couldn't find anything. I will go look at the store thank you. Also what about sheets, do you know any good quality stretch sheets? What do you use? |
I went to Mervyn's and they didn't have terry cloth or stretch mattress covers. : ( |
This is why I like my Ultimate CuddleBed from Costco. It makes my topper feel sooooo cushy and cozy. I highly recommend it! |
That's odd. I was just in there the other day and they carried both varieties at the Simi Valley store. Call around and ask to speak to someone in the bedding department. |
