One of the problems with many memory foam mattress toppers is that they’re a hassle to use.It’s all too common for them to fit poorly, slide against the mattress, or give off an unpleasantchemical smell that can affect your sleep. Upon reviewing this Sleep Innovations mattresstopper, I immediately noticed how it avoids these common (and annoying) problems.

This mattress topper lines up perfectly with mattresses, to avoid the lumps and bumps ofsimilar products that don’t fit properly. The 3” thickness makes it low enough to fit undermost standard sheets, but may require deep pocket sheets for pillowtop mattress owners.This Sleep Innovations mattress topper comes vacuum-sealed, so there can be a slight odorwhen first opening the package – but nothing that airing it out can’t fix. The manufacturerrecommends giving the topper 72 hours to fully expand anyway, so this gives you plenty oftime to air out. Just unroll your mattress topper and prop it up against a wall or the foot ofyour bed, and it’ll be ready to use before you know it.

One small issue is that this memory foam mattress topper only comes in the 4 standard bedsizes – twin, full, queen and king. There is no twin XL size for dorm sleepers, or Californiaking. Customers with beds in these sizes can still use this topper, but will have some “extra”mattress that goes uncovered. It’s generally a good idea to choose a mattress topper thatfits your mattress exactly, as this will help keep it from sliding. A soft cotton-jersey cover andbed skirt that tuck the topper tight against the mattress comes included with this topper, whichalso helps to relieve slippage.

This Sleep Innovations mattress topper offers a very comfortable night’s sleep, thanks to thequilted surface and thick memory foam. Unlike cheap substitutes, this mattress topper ismade with real memory foam that hugs and supports your body while you sleep. Memoryfoam mattress toppers work by evenly distributing your body’s weight across the mattresssurface, rather than just the area where you’re laying. This distribution in turn relieves tensionon your pressure points, helping you wake up refreshed and pain-free.

In addition to the quilted surface, this Sleep Innovations mattress topper also features aventilated design throughout. This keeps the topper from getting too hot, and lets air passthrough so that the memory foam doesn’t get musty. This topper is also treated to be hypo-allergenic, and repels the mold and mildew that can collect on cheaper foam types.
