mattress toppers?

[kiloyd]

Use one? What thickness?

I'm looking at either a 1.5" or 2" thick memory foam on Walmart.com right now. Wondering if the extra .5" matters.

We did some bed switching around and ds2 wanted me to sleep with him last night. That old mattress is too hard/not supportive! (dd2 had it and had complained but seemed to be sleeping just fine).

I used to have a 1.5" now I have a better quality 4", love it way more.

That's my bed. My kids both have the 1.5" and think its great.

Hope it's ok for me to hijack for a second. How well do fitted sheets fit over a mattress topper? I always have a hard time getting mine to fit on our mattress as it is, but we really need a mattress topper to make it a few more years before needing to buy a new mattress.

Terribly for my thick one fine fir the others. Extra deep sheet exist... I always mean to get one but never do. I have a bed skirt over my mattress and sheet over the topper.

I would think a sheet would fit fine over a 2" or less.

The 2" at Walmart is about $34 and the 1.5" about $19. I usually only lay with ds2 to read to him and then lay with him while he falls asleep which isn't too long and his air mattress was fine. And the bed that is now his is fine for that, but NOT for sleeping on all night.

I got to thinking, how long do they last? Eventually they'll get flattened won't they and not poof back up?

Yes, the cheaper they are the faster they flatten. My daughter has a good quality one and its been about five years. My son's is cut off our old one, we used about two years and it started flattening but is enough for his lighter weight, he's used it about 6 months. Our thicker one is better quality and been used about two years and still good.
