Hello, I am looking for a foam mattress topper. I currently have a Dreamfoam bed that I’ve had for 6 years and I’d like to get a couple more years out of it if possible. I think I need a topper because I have shoulder issues and perhaps more cush would feel better. I see this topper does anyone have feedback on this one? The sister site is Brooklyn Bedding/Dreamfoam, are they not a member here anymore? 2.5-lb. Gel Swirl Memory Foam Topper - Mattress Topper
Hi lionheart.
Welcome back to our Mattress Forum. 
As businesses ebb and flow, we lose and gain trusted members based on the ever changing business decisions, changes in management, etc. The topper in question is certainly durable and I can’t see a reason not to give it a try!
I haven’t personally used that topper so I do hope that someone who has is able to weigh in.
I’d also like to mention that shoulder and neck issues are sometimes also a pillow issue, which is something to keep in the back of your mind.

Thank you! I am 100% a side sleeper so if you have any pillow recommendations I am all ears. I definitely think I also need a new pillow. I’m using a wool pillow I’ve had for a very long time.
My daughter has this topper (the 2" one) for her Dreamfoam latex hybrid mattress (medium firmness). They sent it for free when the mattress was too firm for her (within the return period). She’s only had it for about 6-7 months, but she’s very happy with it. I was going to cut a latex topper I already have down to size for her mattress and she wanted that originally, but she’s been been happy enough with this topper that she said there’s no need.
She’s also a side sleeper who was looking for a bit more softness.
From feeling it compared to my latex toppers, I wasn’t terribly impressed with it myself, but she’s happy with it, so I can’t complain. (She’s young and thin but also has chronic joint pain due to a medical condition.)
Thank you for your feedback! Out of interest which latex ones do you like?
I’m personally a fan of shredded latex pillows that I can fill and unfill to my liking as needs change. I also (this will get me some hate lol) really enjoy a sealy firm cooling pillow. Something about it works really well with my head/neck/shoulder build.
Pillows are as personal as mattresses I’ve found. The upside to shredded latex is you can fill it to your needs and adjust as necessary.
