I am desperately seeking some advice on mattress toppers and my hope is you might be able to steer me in the right direction. For the past year I have been researching mattress toppers with no luck. This is what led me to this forum and you. I currently have a memory foam topper which I think is 4# density and 3". It is way past the time of needing to be replaced and the pain when I sleep is coming back. I do not think the one I have currently was that great which is why I have been researching toppers. I am not sure if I should get memory or latex, what brands have great quality and are trustworthy to order off the internet, what size, density etc. would be best for me? If product warrants the higher cost due to its quality I would be willing to pay more.
A little about me, I suffer from various issues that cause me pain, for ex. fibromyalgia, migraines, etc. I get pain in my hips and shoulder while lying on my side. Because of this about 5 years ago I bought a temper-pedic mattress. At the time I did not do a lot of research and I bought the basic model in a twin (due to finances and a small living space I went with the twin, a choice I now regret!). I am not sure which model I have but I think it is the bottom or just a little better. At the time I thought it would be less expensive to get the basic mattress and supplement with memory form mattress topper. Another choice I am regretting. I am 5’1, 125 pounds. I sleep on my side. I also use a latex pillow to help with my neck support.
I also seem to sleep extremely hot. I am not sure if it is the topper, the mattress or both. It would be great if I could solve all my issues and not be so hot as well. But if I have to suffer the heat to sleep comfortably I will continue to do so.
I hope is you might be able might be able to give me a few thoughts on what products you think might work for me based on your knowledge and experience.
Thank you in advance for your help.
