3 Inch Bamboo Charcoal Mattress Topper with Zippered Cover - King Size | Cooling, Hypoallergenic & Pressure Relief for Better Sleep | Perfect for Hot Sleepers & Allergy Sufferers | Bedroom Comfort Upgrade

When my mom died in the summer of 2022, I traveled across the country to stay at her house and start settling her affairs. The first night I slept in her bed, I was miserable. The bed was absolutely horrible--it was hard, had uneven wear, and caused me significant pressure-point pain that woke me up throughout the night. I knew I was going to be returning to the house several times to work on it, and therefore sleeping in that bed for a total of about eight weeks. There was no way I'd be able to tolerate the discomfort. I thought about buying an inexpensive mattress, but then after much research, I found this topper. A friend unpacked it and set it on top of the bed about a week before I arrived for my next stay, so I didn't experience any of the odor or "rest time" needed for it to expand up to full size--it was ready when I arrived.So...After arriving on a late flight my next trip, I put an extra-puffy cotton mattress pad over this, made up the bed, and turned in for the night. It was absolutely heavenly! I couldn't believe I was in the same bed. This topper (and to some extent the puffy mattress pad cover used with it) converted Mom's miserable bed into a thing of delightful, pillowy comfort. The difference in comfort and functionality was stunning. Ultimately, I slept in that bed with this topper a total of 92 nights, and I was blissfully comfortable for every one of them. This topper completely transformed a bed that was otherwise unusable. It was worth every cent--which was far less than I would have paid for a whole new mattress.Flash forward 18 months: My own bed is causing my arthritis some trouble, but I can't afford to replace it as it's only six years old and was quite expensive. I decided to go for what I know and do what worked last year. I still love this topper. It's deliciously comfortable, not hot, and well worth the money. It only needs to last four years, and it's so substantial, I have no worries about it making that long.
