   I purchased this for a relative on the road who has hip pain. It was a big help. Obviously, thicker memory foam will work better. However, any amount of memory foam will help those with joint pain and will also help prevent pressure sores during times of recuperation — take note of that if you ever have a relative you are caring for!

   …I am in my mid-60’s…Still love to camp, but due to a replacement hip and a few damaged disks in my spine..sleeping on the ground in a tent is no longer comfortable for me…so for the last decade I have slept in my Dodge-Minivan, using a standard-sized mattress…but that was wearing out…so decided to upgrade…

   …I am using this pad in conjunction with a very large cot and sleeping bag, and have placed it in an old quilt sandwich configuration on the cot…holding it all in place with some light elastic cords…

   …It turns out to be Very comfortable!…Much more so than an actual mattress…and I found I tossed less and had to change positions a lot less during the night…and now I am just sorry I didn’t do this years earlier!

   …The pad came boxed well and in a short amount of time after I placed the order…so I am very pleased with both the pad and the manufacturer..and would highly recommend both!

   ..Plus…I checked local sources and online..and this was a very good price as well!

   the 2″ actually squishes down to 2mm if you weigh more than a 20lb baby. Disappointed at the cost per function aspect.

   I purchased the memory foam topper believing that the number 5.5 prominently displayed in the picture refers to the density of the mattress in pounds per cubic foot, as it does in other descriptions on Amazon and other websites. Higher numbers refer to higher density mattresses, which feel firmer but last longer. I should have been suspicious because nowhere in the description of the mattress topper does it actually say what the number means or what the density is.

   At a density of 5.5 pounds per cubic foot I had expected the mattress topper to weigh over 19 pounds for an extra-long twin size; its easy to calculate: density (in pounds/cubic foot) x length x width x thickness (all measured in inches)/1728. The box with the mattress I received together weighed about 7 pounds. I didn’t remove the mattress topper from the box because I know how difficult it is to get it back in, so I don’t know if it’s comfortable; other reviewers seem to like it.

   When I called the company, I was told that they do not provide density ratings for their mattresses and that the number 5.5 refers to a “comfort rating.” I think they could be a lot clearer in describing their product. The woman I spoke with at the company was very nice and, to their credit, they are paying the return shipping.

   Mattress pad wasn’t quite 2 inches thick, and slightly shorter than described, but it still worked out well. Good bargain.
