Summary: This is the BEST memory foam, highest quality and lowest price. You don't need to look at anything else, because this is the best one and you should buy it. Now, on to the details. Before purchasing this memory foam topper, I did a LOT of research. For a novice such as myself, all the terminology of the foam biz can be rather confusing. I read many reviews of different foam toppers and while most of the reviewers spoke about how they slept, very few actually spoke about the product's attributes. The goal of my review is provide some specific metrics and evaluation criteria, which I hope will be helpful to you. However, let's start at the beginning.
When shopping for a mattress topper, there are many different styles of products to choose from. If you go to a store such as Bed, Bath and Beyond, you will see a limited selection, the prices will be high and you won't find the very best products. If you look on Amazon.com, the variety can be overwhelming. Here is what you need to know:
1. Weight matters...The heavier the foam topper, the better it will conform to your body and the longer it will last. This specific DreamFoam Bedding foam topper weighed in at 42 pounds, for a King size, and it was the heaviest of all the toppers I could find on Amazon.com. Summary, heavy = good quality, light = poor quality.
2. Foam comes in different densities, from 1 pound to 5 pound density. 1 pound foam is the least dense, and 5 pounds foam is the most dense. It is much more costly to make 5 pound foam than it is to make 1 pound foam. 3 pound foam is about the minimum you would want for a mattress topper, in my opinion. In this case the DreamFoam Bedding foam topper was made of the 5 pound density, which is the very best. I could not find any other 5 pound density toppers on Amazon. There were some 4 pound density toppers, but they were less dense than that DreamFoam 5 pound topper AND they cost a lot more. Again, the DreamFoam Bedding foam topper came out on top in this important measurement.
3. Thickness is important. Even the heaviest and densest foam toppers will do little good if your body smashes down to the very bottom. However, you don't want them so thick that you lose the support of the underlying mattress. Typically the thickness of mattress toppers ranges from 1 to 4 inches. The kind you find at Bed Bath and Beyond, are usually only one or two inches. This one was a very thick three inches. The three inch thickness, combined with the 5 pound density foam, results in an ultra high quality product.
4. Pricing of mattress toppers ranges from $50 to $600. Usually, the higher up you go in price, the greater the thickness and higher the density rating of foam becomes. If you want a three inch foam topper with 4 or 5 pound density of memory foam, you are usually looking at $260 and up. However, in this case, the DeamFoam mattress topper was much less than that.
5. Shipping cost matters as well. Shipping can get quite expensive on a heavy mattress topper, such as this, from some vendors. However, in this case they seller offered FREE shipping.
6. Where it is made matters. Many foam toppers are made overseas, and sometimes, dangerous chemicals are put inot the foam. Memory foams made in the US often are more trustworthy, in my opinion. The DreamFoam people go out of their way to explain that their foam is made without the use of dangerous chemicals. I also just generally feel happier about buying a product which is made in the United States, as is the case with the DreamFoam product.
7. Shipping time. It arrived in 3 business days, all the way from Arizona to Wisconsin and they even gave me a tracking number. It arrived in perfect shape, and was obviously well packed by someone who cared about making sure it got here safely.
8. The DreamFoam topper is made by a small family owned company, so you know your money is not getting sent to pay for corporate jets or Rolls Royce executive leased cars.
As far as sleep quality goes-----it is fantastic!!!!! Imagine sleeping on a giant deep dish pizza crust. You kind of sink into it. It is soft, yet conforms to your body and makes you feel good, all over.
End summary: This is the best quality product, at the cheapest price, sold by very nice people, shipped quickly, carefully packed, Don't waste your time and money on nationally known name brand products, when this DreamFoam bedding topper is the VERY best quality made topper available, at a fraction of the price of its competitors. If I could only only one suggestion to the people at DreamFoam bedding, it would be that they should raise their price to reflect the ultra high quality of this product. I might even buy another, just to have in reserve. Pay attention to the specifications of weight, density and thickness, as these are what really matter when shopping for a memory foam mattress topper.
