UPDATE: April 27, 2011. This pad is just as good as it was when new. It is not showing any wear after three years of use.We had previously purchased three of these memory foam toppers for all the beds in our home but one, in 2011 & we were thrilled with each one of them. Recently we bought an RV & wanted one for that RV queen bed so we ordered another one. It arrived & we opened the box, put it on the bed that we had borrowed the topper from for the RV & saw immediately that it was no where the same weight & consistency as the other three. We contacted Amazon who replaced this new purchase with another quickly. GREAT service from Amazon !! This second arrived & sadly it was the same weight as the first one received.
We did a little investigation & found that the shipping weight on the boxes was shown as 11 lbs & 12 lbs on the second & the shipping weight on the topper site of Amazon showed 16 pounds shipping weight for a queen. We double checked the weight of this newest topper by holding it & not holding it while on the bathroom scale & found the shipping weight of 12 lbs to be correct. We had opened the box to check it out but the topper was still in the box.
So it is our guess that the supplier has cheapened this product & neglected to tell the seller, Amazon ??
Both of our toppers shipped from GA so we have no idea what the other shipping centers might be shipping.
Please be aware of these toppers that are shipping now, as they ain't what they used to be, and the pricing had been increased !!
4/4/2012 UPDATE
When my wife & I went to pack up the first of two toppers sent to us by Amazon, for return to Amazon, & we were thinking that this would be a real chore getting this topper back into the box it came in. SURPRISE it was no problem at all to fold & then rool the topper back up & put it into the box with room to spare ! If the quality of this topper had been even close to that of those purchased in 2011, we'd have never gotten it into that box again NO WAY !
We noticed also when removing the topper from the bed it was on, that when you pressed the palm of your hand into this topper & then removed it, there was NO hand print left in this topper at all ! NOT MEMORY foam at all !!
We do need another queen topper but at this time, this quality is not for us.
Buy 2.0" Visco2 Ventilated Mattress Enhancer Now
Being too cheap to buy a new mattress, I picked this up when it was on sale, and couldn't be happier with it. I'd been wary of trying memory foam, given the wide variety of complaints about them (too small, smells bad, too hot, etc.), but now I wish I had given in sooner. This fits perfectly, lost its weird odor in about two days, and is cooler than just my unpadded mattress. And, while it doesn't make my mattress seem comfy enough to be brand new, its more than comfy enough to put off buying a new one a while longer.Read Best Reviews of 2.0" Visco2 Ventilated Mattress Enhancer Here
It seems that this company had sold a decent product. However, the product that I received (and several other recent purchasers) was inferior.
First, it is not memory foam. This short video demonstrates there is NO memory effect.
Second, the density is not as stated. This is confirmed by the shipping weight of only 12 pounds, when the listing states 16 pounds.
We sent ours back and were promptly refunded by Amazon. We found another product on Amazon that is the proper density and is memory foam (we paid a little more for it). Don't be misled by the high ratings -they must have reviewed a higher-quality product that has now been replaced by non-memory, low-density foam.This visco elastic is the same as the ones out there going for close to $200.00. It came packaged nicely and the first night on my hospital bed i have at home i can't tell you the pressure it took off my back and the comfort. Being i have 4 herniated discs, 8 pinched nerves and both problems with my si joints among other health issues, the 2 inch was very plush and has yet to lose it's comfort and go down like pillows to. Excellent price and excellent product. I run the QVC Addicts board and have posted about this and so many have ordered and i keep getting excellent feedback from them also.
