Be careful what you pass on to your children. We gave our daughter an old set of mattresses. Well, when she had her baby we had to sleep on those old mattresses when we stayed to help her. This memory foam topper is amazing!!! No more sore hips and shoulders. And this was a GREAT price. I have memory foam on every bed in my home. This one seems a little more dense so it gives great support as well as softness.
