We slept on a memory foam bed for the past 12 years and finally replaced it, going through tons of reviews and talking to friends of ours we decided to go back to a traditional mattress. Traditional mattresses have changed dramatically and ended up with a Beauty rest Black firm mattress which felt great for the 10 minutes we tested it and as long as you are spending the night on your back. Well we both sleep on our backs and sides so the firmness began to become a little uncomfortable in the morning despite a great night's sleep (I know sounds ridiculous) so I continue to read reviews this time on memory foam toppers. This topper answered all our issues, foam density was enough to continue supporting a great sleep with enough cushion to relieve the discomfort and aches for our 55+ bodies. This topper has made me fall in love with my mattress again and would recommend it to anyone that has gone through a sleep setting change that does not agree with them.
