What am I doing wrong re: memory foam topper?
| Hello to everyone. Ok, so I have been through a Sealy memory foam bed (softened up too much and caused low back pain for me>>>returned) then a Temperpedic (too firm, caused shoulder pain and numbness>>>returned) then a Sealy Purembrace latex (worst of all, the indentations myself and my husband left after only a few months were unacceptable - felt like sleeping in a hole, and caused back pain and tossing and turning>>>hoping to sell). Which leads me to bed #4 - cheapest Simmons bed at Macys, listed as a firm but with the softer gauge wires. Actually doesn'f feel too bad alone, but not the feel I want so I bought it with the intention of getting a topper. I purchased an Aerus 2.5" memory foam topper from Sam's Club, which is 5# foam. This is the problem now: the topper just does not seem like memory foam on the bed. I don't get the "sinking into it" feeling that I like from memory foam. (But not sinking too much!) I have tried using the bamboo cover that came with the topper, and even flipped it over to use the thin sheet-like underside facing up, but no difference, really, It doesn't seem to respond like the old memory foam topper I had (no idea what the specs were on that one.) I was hoping it would feel close to the Sealy memory foam bed, or the Temperpedic, or at least like my old topper felt when it was new. So, my question is, did I buy too heavy of foam? Do I need softer memory foam? Or do I need a thicker topper? I'm lost at this point and am hoping for some suggestions..... |
