I was really hoping that this topper was all I needed to make my memory foam bed comfortable again but that was wishful thinking. I can feel a difference but with my issues (back problems) I would need at least a 3-4 inch topper. My boyfriend noticed a difference as well but was far from overwhelmed. I guess a new mattress is my next step!  If you are just wanting to add a little extra comfort this will d but do not expect a huge difference.
