| tjslinna's Full Review: Isotonic Foam Mattress Pad |
I researched all the different options for getting a foam pad for our bed. I spent a couple weeks learning about foam density, different thicknesses, manufacturers..... I settled on the Isotonic mattress topper from absolutecomfortonsale.com, a queen topper with the recommended "100% cotton quilted cover" for a total of $189.95 with shipping. As the other reviews stated there was the awful smell so instead of just 24 hours I let it air out for almost a whole week before putting it on the bed. And I will admit, when I finally did use it I was hooked. It was great, like a cozy nest that you don't want to get out of, and my bad back didn't hurt in the mornings anymore. Well, the honeymoon ended. The edges of the foam are still able to mold to shape but who sleeps on the edge? Where it matters, our topper has completely flattened. The 2 inch depth has been reduced to less than 1/2 inch in 2 large craters where we sleep. This transformation took less than a year. The warranty is for 5 years against defects, but down at the bottom of the page they point out that body impressions are not a structural defect. So here I am, researching beds again.
