Looks Like I'll Still Need a Topper

[phoenix]

Hi Vicky,

so I tried my new pillow top from RB for the first time last night, decided not to put any of the memory foam toppers on it so I could get a good idea of how it will feel. It is a wonderful quality mattress, nice and even on the surface–unlike the others, there’s no dip toward the middle!!! And it felt pretty “soft” in the store, even on my sides (with their bursitis), and I was optimistic that it might be soft enough to help with the pain. So I went that route instead of getting one with the specific intention of using a topper. But after trying to sleep a whole night at home, unfortunately, my hips were achy & pretty sore. So I guess I’ll start experimenting with toppers til I find a combination that works.

I would give your mattress a few weeks at least to break in and for your body to get used to a new sleeping surface that is different from what it was used to before making any changes or adding any toppers to your mattress (see post #3 here and post #2 here).

If after a few weeks you find that you still need it then it would be a much better time to start considering a topper.

If that is not enough pressure relief for the bursitis I will try the 3" 4lb density memory foam topper I ordered from Amazon that’s been sitting in a box in my bedroom for a few weeks. (I’ve been afraid to open it because not sure how to return it if need be–ever tried to get one of those things back in a box?).

The suggestions in post #5 here should help you vacuum compress the topper if you need to.
