Dec 20/19: I've been using this topper for about 2 months or so now. It was the 5th mattress topper I'd tried since spring 2019, and I've finally found one that helps ease (though not eliminate) my hip and glute pain at night. I'm a side and back sleeper, and all the others I've tried have been too thick or too thin and all too firm. This is a 2-inch plush, ventilated topper and I will be sticking with this size and type from here on in. The only downside for me is that it does sleep hot, even in our bitterly cold Canadian winters. It's not helping that I'm going through middle-aged night sweats right now, but the topper is so comfortable for me that I won't remove it.
