I'm looking to get a Memory Foam Mattress Topper from Overstock.com... I got a pillow like it over christmas and Love it, I think it'd be great to have a mattress like that to sleep on...
Anyone here have one? If so, please post the thickness and how you like it...
What thickness do you guys think I need?

3 inches is what everyone recommends. You can find them much cheaper than $129 if you watch for coupons on SD.

If you're gonna get inches.
Get three inches.
I myself would prefer something thicker, i mean if it's going to remember the shape of EVERYTHING....

Are these things actually worth it? They look pretty cool and I might think about getting one if anyone can find a price cheaper then 129.99

i've got a 1.5" one i got for $30 a while back. it makes the dorm mattress a lot more reasonable for actually sleeping on.

I recently bought one of the memory foam mattress', not the topper. I love it. I is a knock off of the one advertised on TV ("same space age material NASA uses.") I really love it. It is 10' thick. One of the best things about them is not being able to feel my GF moving during the night. Works great for sex too because it is soft, but still firm.

U wanna cut me some kind of deal with it? Cause i'm planning to purchase from overstock...
PS, I did some research and found out that you should go with a 4LBs Density, which means a 1' by 1' cube would be 4LBs... I think I will go with a 3 inch, probably much more than I need, but it'll work... also going to buy a King Sized even though I have a twin sized bed, same price for any size, i'll cut it in half, and I can have a 6" topper D

That is not a bad danm idea. And I might too be interested in getting in one some kind of deal. Edit then again it might mess it up...

Cutting it might mess it up? I'm pretty sure it would have effect other than making it smaller, i listened to an infomercial explaing why I should by a 4LBs Pad like they had, it is just like a regular foam matters just the molecules are not round but have a hole in them so air can get out and it will pack togather, without pushing back out, so cutting it wouldn't do anything to the topper as a whole, just would make it smaller, the entire thing isn't connected togather in any way running through the entire thing...

Mine is contoured and I enjoy it, it took a few nights to get used to the material, it is a 3Lbs density, and felt great, but they claim 4Lbs is the best... if my bed would be better than my pillow, I will feel like i'm sleeping on clouds, I think i'll order in a few min )

That will be a firmer pillow than the ones on overstock.com, the 2nd one has a density of 5.5Lbs, the first one doesn't say...

I'm a side/stomache sleeper, and I like a soft pillow... hmmmm, who knows! anyways, i still havn't worked up the courage to make my purchase... I will soon, I think...

I took the leap w/ a 3", not the one I had said above, no pillows with it, because the pillow one is only a 3LBs Density, I went with a 4Lb, and it was 129, I got 8% off for a new member, then shipping was 2.95... so it was like 122 total, I can't wait for it to get here, i'll tell you how I like it... I think i'll use it as a 6" topper, cutting it in half... if that doesn't work out then i'll let my brother use the extra 3" i guess...

Keep in mind, the topper is only going to be as good as the underlying bed. If your mattress is soft and has a big dip in the middle, the topper won't fix that.

I have a 1 year old mattress, which isn't bad, just not the right firmness for me, thats why i'm gonna try this out! Hopefully it works D
