Memory Foam Topper. A Miracle For A Mexican Mattress?
Will 2-inches of memory foam take the misery out of a standard Mexican "Colchon"? Not something that sags of course. But a so-called-mattress that you
can count every spring in.
A Lot To See And A Lot To Do

Memory foam is temperature sensitive and can generate a heat. Not something that I would need in warm weather. Go for it if you tried memory foam
before.

We use a 2" topper on the bed in our older motorhome bed. What a difference it made. Took a lumpy bumpy old mattress and really made it really
comfortable. Plenty available on ebay at reasonable prices. I say go for it.

Now called a SLEEP NUMBER BED, I believe. We have had one for years, and love it. My son also has one------loves it!!! I dream of Lindsey Wagner
when I sleep on it.

Got me interested (my pad is probably older than me), so I checked the Mother of All Chinese Junk, Walmart, and it's cheaper yet 
Correction: from reviews it sounds that it is junk indeed. 1/4" memory foam glued to 1.1/2" of regular foam. So you get what you pay for. Don't know
about that Ebay mystery box. But... any 2" foam, memory or not, will soften the spring-box feel of "Colchon".

I did a study on the Memory Foam and went to Costco and bought the 2" memory foam for all my beds.
The study was that you don't need more than 2" of foam as your body will only sink so far less than the 2" amount...so buying a mattress that is all
memory Foam is a total waste of monies, as I said you can only! sink to a particular depth and that is it, so don't waste monies on a full foam
mattress.... buy the 2' topper more than enough, OH by the way it really doesn't make any difference your weight.

Yep, that happens a LOT these days.
I have never slept on "memory foam", I don't believe.
Lindsay Wager is now 63, but for years she was the face of SELECT COMFORT air-beds (now SLEEP NUMBER BEDS) on TV ads. She is still beautiful (I
think) but she does not sleep on "memory foam" because she says that air-beds are more comfortable-----I then bought one, but she never responded to
my invitations.
Life is hard.
