BedStory 3 Inch Gel Memory Foam Mattress Topper Queen Size - Pressure Relief Bed Toppers with Breathable Washable Cover, CertiPUR-US Certified Comfort

Dec 28th, 2022First ReviewI bought this topper to extend the life of a mattress I recently purchased. I bought a firm mattress and thought to just add the cushion as needed to the top as I am a "well-marbled" (well mixed with fat and lean meat) woman. The first two nights, this topper was very comfortable! It didn't sink in immediately so, it gives me that needed moment to get into whatever position will be comfortable for me, then it seems to melt around me and hug me in all the right spots. It is so comfortable that it pains me to say that it doesn't work for my needs. We all know too well that when we have a mattress we/most of us will cover it with a waterproof/ bedbug protector. I believed that is where the problem lay. Because the topper lies on top of that covering and tends to slip from side to side, depending on which side you are getting onto the mattress. Also, it slips down if you turn, roll over or have any movements during the night. I believe that would only get worst if the platform is adjustable. Remember when I said that, "the topper lies on top of that covering and tends to slip from side to side," well I even tried placing the topper inside the bedbug protector with the mattress to perhaps avoid the slippage. Needless to say, that didn't work either. Having a mattress topper that slips is problematic because it leads to injuries. I have pulled and tugged at this topper to readjust it onto the mattress to no avail! Even when I thought to ignore it until the morning I was deceived into thinking that I was still on the mattress as I rolled into a better position only to have the rude awakening of slipping off the mattress and catching myself with a hard stamp of my feet! I have sprained muscles, scraped legs, and bruised my feet in an attempt to have the topper stay centered or myself to be centered on it. I, unfortunately, bruise easily so it didn't help matters that this particular topper is made with a hard brown trim that borders the entire piece. It looks good, and maybe in theory was a good idea. But the truth of the matter is even that border slidden and rotated from where it should have been. I have spent too many hours making and remaking my bed and even trying to reason why I shouldn't return the topper. At the end of a most painful night, I realize that I was sleeping worse now than I had before the topper. So, I have decided to return it before my window of return closes.If you decided to purchase this particular topper, purchase in the knowledge that this product has been tried on a new mattress...In and outside of a mattress protector...And by a heavier person.UPDATE APR 30th 20232nd reviewI am back with an updated review of the BedStory 2" gel-infused mattress topper. My last review was on the same topper but a different size than the one I will be reviewing here. I now have a twin xl sized and I slept on it for 4 days on a pull-out spare bed. I honestly can say that was some of the best sleep I'd ever gotten! Anyone who has ever slept on a pull-out knows that railings pinch skin and bars under the mattress distract from sleep. Well, not with this topper. My sleep was restful and I had more energy when it was time to get up. This was the first test. The second test came with taking the topper into my office to test it on a convertible ottoman, chair, chase, twin sleeper. This sleeper sleeps very uncomfortably as a bed because, I can only assume, it is made to hold over 500 lbs in weight. It does a good job in all its convertible positions but, it's not comfortable in the sleep position at all. It is like sleeping on padded boards. This, for me, would be the real test. After sleeping on it for two days and then stretching it out to a full week, I can say that I have happy tears. I never thought that putting a topper on that sleeper would work! It excelled in all my expectations. It covered the entire bed perfectly, one sheet and pillow later, and there was no telling apart from a regular twin xl bed. My complaint about the full-sized topper did not transfer to this twin xl topper. Where one pulled to one side during the night, this one held its place. It didn't slide at all! Where the border hem moved from the edge by night and left marks on the skin by day on the other topper, this one with the same border without slipping from either side didn't irritate me or my sleep. The topper is dense while remaining pliable to movement. I will be buying another topper for my bedroom. I will opt out of the border hemmed one as I now know that the company has some without the border as well.I highly recommend the Bedstory mattress topper!

I purchased this after reading several reviews and it did not disappoint. The quality is excellent and the cover does not retain heat. It has extended the life of the mattress and significantly relieved my hip and shoulder discomfort.

We bought this to add some life to our older mattress while I had hip pains from pregnancy & my husband was experiencing some back pain. The package arrived promptly in great shape, it was easy to unpack, everything looked nice and clean, and it didn't take long to expand. We did give it about 40 hours to expand and the slight smell dissipated quickly.We've had it for about a month now.The foam is on the stiffer side, which is what we thought we wanted. I like the thickness of the foam, but perhaps would want slightly softer. A perk of the stiffness, though, is that you don't sink too much on the bed when sitting on it. It is very comfortable- when you first lay down, it resists for a moment and then you sink into place, well supported. Overall, I don't dislike the stiffness so much that I would return it.It does not seem to be making us sleep hotter than normal, so the cooling seems to do it's job! The cover is nice and I like the smoother texture- I did not want the eggcrate or too much texture coming through our sheets.My husband's back pain is much better. I have a hard time determining how much it helps with the pregnancy hip pain since my body is always changing! Some nights I feel great, others are hard, and that may have to do with my activities during the day and not so much the mattress.Our only gripes:The topper does not seem to stay in place well. While we picked one with straps hoping it would hold itself down, the straps pop off the mattress too easily and we have given up trying to put them back on. We have to re-center the topper every night at bedtime.Finding a sheet that fits over the whole mattress + topper will likely take a special purchase of extra-deep sheets. We have a mattress cover on the main mattress and have kept a sheet over the topper.Hope this was helpful!

I bought this to replace our old topper which was probably one of the first ever made, lol. It had long lost its flimsy jersey cover and was starting to feel dried out. The Bed Story topper has a much nicer, thicker, and fitted cover which seems will hold up longer. I didn’t wait the full decompression time before we slept on it and it was fine. It’s been a few days and I noticed it is fully expanded. I guess they just don’t want you to judge it too soon! Hubby noticed an odor but It’s a subtle latex odor which I think will subside. It’s very comfy and the dog agrees!

This topper is great. It is soft and comfortable. Great for the money and the value.

Bon pendant un mois; pas du tout confortable
