Sealy Mattress Topper, Queen

I knew exactly how much the budget was for a cooling memory foam gel-infused mattress topper. My mattress has a topper of elite quality consisting of 13 layers but was firm to meet my orthopaedic needs then. Recently, I raised by air-conditioning temperature for eco-energy reasons as living in equatorial Singapore many tend to over cool their homes. After a year's research it seems that cooling (heating dissipating really) materials are readily available for duvets, covers and now, mattress toppers. I picked Sealy's mainly because they already have an established reputation to safeguard in beddings. It could have been any other make offering gel-infused memory foam, and thickness. I avoided the technologies with copper and other minerals. Foam is suffused with enough chemicals to manufacture and ensure fire retardant, so if you want to pay for those add-ons, shift your budget to get a semi-permanent topper to last more than five to seven years at least. I worked out to have this be suited for my comfort for about three to five years and the depreciation looked USD1.67 per month. That's as good as the energy savings it will also add to my energy bill of using less air-conditioning power. [Of course, there are many others who pay more for everything to have better quality materials and in the end, aren't really 'saving' costs, resources or energy usage.] The delivery via Prime was superbly fast (just over a day). Item arrived with zip cover for use. It was easy to unpack and allow the topper to 'expand'. It really needed to breathe, and you could smell the formaldehyde (or other VOCs) as it off-gassed. Ideally I should have left it open in another room for a couple of days, but after a whole day I decided to dress the bed with it over my Elite Comfort mattress and the US Queen size has a slightly greater length by inches, so the topper jutted out from the ends by about half-an-inch. It looked fine once the linens were on. While unfolding the foam topper, I noticed one side had been deformed during the packing compression (picture 3, 4) but knew that these along the edge would not affect the performance, or will resume most of their original shape in time. So I did not consider these 'defects' to worry about or arrange for a return. The odour of the off gassing was not a problem with the Yuzu reed room diffuser I used with a fan briefly on, and slept very comfortably. In fact, too comfortably: I tuned off my Sleep Focus alarm on my iPhone and overslept by two hours, even with the aircon at going off two hours earlier. Even better, I fell asleep much quicker too. I genuinely think it's time for anyone living in the equatorial or tropical zones to adjust their bedroom comfort to be more energy and heat efficient to achieve the best cooling environment for sleep using these new materials, and workout the savings you want to achieve with the new topper otherwise all that talk about being eco and energy resource conscious is a lie. I suspect from the quality of the three-inch foam (medium-cooling) that this will last beyond five years, as I don't rough tumble on my bed (if you get my meaning 😂😬). Would I have enjoyed the plush softness of a 4 inch soft topper? Probably, but it will most likely last 2-3 years. So if immediate comfort and a short-term usage is a priority, go for it. I spent close to $10K on my mattress and didn't want to change it just yet so this modification from firm to medium-cooling seemed just right for me. But this Sealy gel-infused topper definitely did 'turn up a notch' on the comfort dial for my night's sleep without breaking the bank.

Mattress topper is very comfortable but if you are buying it to help with nerve compression while sleeping forget it. Makes it far worse. On my regular Simmons Mattress I could sleep 3 hours before getting nerve compression... this cuts it down to 1 hour.I don't appreciate that there is no pickup option and before I buy anything of this bulk and cost I will make sure I know what the return options really are.

Really happy with this purchase, better than expected but hangs over the edge a touch

Very disappointed with this product. When open the box topper has been already torn.

I researched the heck out of this purchase- I have several physical problems, but I didn't like the chemicals used by most of the manufacturers of these toppers. Most of them are made in China or other countries that don't have strict laws about poisoning workers, customers, or the environment. I may have pain issues, but I won't sacrifice the planet to get better sleep.This company follows the rules, and is in the U.S.The topper came, I opened it, and there was no "off-gassing", which is a nice way to say "release of poison gases". I put it on my bed, shoved the dog off, put sheets over it, shoved the dog off, and lay down. OMG! What a difference! Perfect comfort, no heat build-up! Woke up two hours later (with the dog splayed out next to me) with NO dead-arm kinked-neck lower-back pain AT ALL!Buy this topper from this company.
