Hypnia 3 inch Memory Foam Mattress Topper, King Size 5ft x 6ft6

I have a long-standing neck/shoulder pain which is greatly affected by my bed. In the past I had a decent memory foam mattress, but I left it behind when I relocated back to England. I bought this memory foam topper to go on a firm pocket spring mattress and have used it for about eight months.Sleeping on this combination is certainly better than sleeping on the pocket spring mattress alone. However, it is nowhere near as good as my old memory foam mattress (a local brand not available here). I still wake up in the morning with aches and pains, though less severe than without the topper. I've tried it with the other three mattresses in the house and a variety of pillows (currently settled on buckwheat).As a stopgap measure it was okay, but not as a longer term solution. Therefore I am shopping around again for a new mattress. Tempur Original suits me the best but, of course, is expensive. By comparison, this Hypnia topper offers less support and is less responsive to your body heat. It doesn't feel much like memory foam with the characteristic molding to your body; it feels more like a standard foam topper.You may say, "you get what you pay for". This is true to some extent, but I believe you can get better quality than this without paying Tempur prices. There are several online only brands that seem to promise this - but it's hard to get reliable reviews for these... In hindsight, for this price I would have gone for a decent standard foam topper (eg Ikea).

When it arrive I'd read the reviews and was prepared - open the polythene and leave it for 24 hours to expand. The smell was ok, and didn't cause issue and disappeared after a week or two.The issue I have is with a ridge in the middle. As you will know, these mattresses and toppers come very well wrapped up in a small box; the way ours had been folded, the fold has left a ridge right down the middle of the mattress, and some 3 months later it is still there. Quite clearly this is not going to expand away and is very annoying leading to a feeling of sleeping on a hill. Also, the two pillows that come with it are not to my liking although the wife seems to like them. You probably can adapt to them or you can't.On the whole, the mattress is fairly comfortable, but with this ridge in it, I have to say I would not recommend this particular one. Perhaps others have had delivery of their product without this fold and all is well. Unfortunately, that's not the case with ours. The jury is out on memory foam toppers from this company ans far as I'm concerned.

Have had it now for a week and it does the job provided that your mattress has a firm support as it says on the details of the product. Once opened it will take about 3 days for the smell to dissipate completely but to be honest from day one I wasn't bothered at all. I do however have to mention that the quality of memory foam is not as it is claimed. I have seen memory foam mattresses and toppers from a local retailer and in fact a mate of mine bought one and the quality of their memory foam is much higher with a mustard/yellow color and not white like the Amazon/hypnia one and when you press it really shapes around your hand like it's alive. The one from hypnia does it at a much less degree. I only mention this because a Premium 75KG/m3 Visco Memory Foam is claimed and I am not really sure it is true. If you are not bothered by this comment and you have an old medium/firm mattress that is causing you aches and pains then this topper will definitely improve you overnight sleep and you will awake rested with no pains. I will try to update as time goes by. I am 1.92m in height and weigh about 100Kg.

I wanted to wait a few weeks before leaving a review so I could see the topper working at it's optimum ability and I think I'm there now! Firstly I just wanted to say that I completely recommend this topper and the delivery service on a free delivery basis was exemplary. I ordered it on Friday and it arrived on Saturday morning by 11am!It's really important you do your research when looking for a topper. They are different weight bearing/support densities, this one is 75kg m3, I've seen cheaper ones sold online supporting a lower weight density, or been told this on making a query about them - they might feel good but many not give you the support you seek if you are heavier. Do correct me if I'm wrong. But either way this one is aces. We literally saw it expand before our eyes, and just left it out, opened a window to deal with the smell and went out for the day.I slept on it that same night and it took a little getting used to, it was probably still expanding to be honest, but after a few days, I was in wow sleep heaven. Previously I'd been waking with a bit of backache, I've developed a bad habit of writing in bed. I should replace my existing mattress, but I can't afford the ones I have my eye on. This topper is providing me a great interim solution and when I do upgrade I don't doubt with its thickness it will come in handy in the future. I have some valance bedsheets and find these cope well with the increased height of my bed. Fitted double sheets might struggle. So why the loss of a star? Well I find the topper moves around on my bed and virtually each day I have to yank it back into place! Plus, it's not quite a double size either. It's a few inches short which does bemuse me, I would have loved an exact fit, I had a 3cm topper prior to this which fit just fine, so not sure why this one doesn't? That aside, 10cm of memory foam combined has blessed me with decadent sleep and it's been a massive bonus and blessing to wake sans ache feeling well rested. Great product and impressively speedy delivery too. Love it, so pleased I invested in it.

Definitely not 75kg/m3. All the info is here to do the calculation. Dimensions and shipped weight of 12 kg (that's including boxing and packaging). Density is 61.3kg/m3! So save yourself some money and buy a cheaper brand. I have had a cheaper topper without a cover and it doesn't slip over the mattress like this one. I'm going to remove mine. Ps that topper was cheaper and more tempur like. This just feels like foam.
