Gel Mattress Topper, King

The gel surface is only in the very middle. Its mostly bad foam. The foam edge takes up about 10 inches on each side of the topper. Thats 20 inches off the useable surface of your bed. Where there is gel it is very very thin and it too is on top of that terrible foam. Cant be returned in the box so returns are difficult. Just stay away.

After a lot of research about mattresses and having tingling reactions chemicals in new mattresses, decided to add this topper to our firm king bed. I am not as impressed with this - seems hard and not the dreamy, comfortable topper I longed for. It is very expensive and heavy - at approx. 80 lbs. Not sure I can send this back. Sadly, thinking about getting another foam topper to put on this one. It has been about 10 days, I'll keep sleeping on it, maybe we'll magically fall in love like some folks have experienced. Will give an update later.

Hubby and I both are side sleepers and our shoulders/ribs were hurting by morning, so as this was "good for pressure points" we spent a lot on this for a topper. I sleep mostly on edge of bed and didn't realize I would not be on the blue gel, but on some kind of foam which surrounds the blue, thus to be on the blue bed size is reduced to about 2/3 and hubby and I kinda rolled into each other. It is also quite firm feeling and didn't help our pressure points on shoulders or ribs, ended up getting a different much cheaper gel foam topper and no aching by morning... What they don't tell you is how much shipping is to return this, it weighs over 70 pounds and doesn't squish so box is huge which raises shipping price (186 to retun!!!!) , plus their box is so thin it is damaged by time it gets to you so to reuse it needs extra cardboard and a lot of tape, regular packing tape didn't stick, had to go with strapping tape to hopefully not bust through... all in all very disappointed
