Review on 🛏️ 2-Inch Traditional Foam Mattress Topper - Hypoallergenic - Ventilated - Full Size - Conforming Support by Roxanne Medina

When I opened the box I was concerned if the foam would ever regain its correct shape without the stretch and shrink marks caused by the box. In particular, a 3 inch edge was pressed into a hard edge about 1 inch thick at one end, with the foam curving to meet that edge on either side. Not sure if it was the packaging or the way the foam was cut. Usually the foam is cut with some sort of thin saw, but seeing that edge made me wonder if the foam is made as a continuous roll much wider than 60 inches, and that some material comes out 80 inches long each time, machine, a large smooth blade goes straight down and slices through the foam, compressing it before making a notch. I have no idea but the look of the ending told me so. The volume of the box is slightly smaller than the volume of the foam after expansion of the foam or compared to 3" x 60" x 80". It can be seen that it is squeezed very tightly to fit in the box. The ends at the head and feet were bent towards the middle, and where the two ends met in the middle there was a third crease; The resulting size is 20" x 60". The original width is now one length, narrow rolled up and compressed and held together with a strong plastic wrap. After unfolding and unfolding, three parallel folds running across the 60" width left protruding ridges, particularly the one in the center. Evidence of these protruding ridges was left after i had left the rug on the bed for several hours.I turned it over and slept on it that night and didn't notice the ridges.The next day I pulled it out from under the fitted sheet which I had covered tte, and turned it over to see if the three protrusions were still visible. I could still feel these protrusions when running my hand over them, but they're harmless as they can't be felt when the pad is flipped that side. The pinched end still bothered me. I moved my fingers back and forth along this 60 inch edge and it was immediately apparent that this was causing the pinched end to pop open. Since it worked, I continued it for five or ten minutes, and the ending ended up being almost twice as long as the original. I then left it alone and after a few hours it expanded on its own to almost 3 inches thick and since it was just the edge it didn't matter. As for the smell, the instructions that came with it said it had to be unpacked and left behind. in the sun for a day or two to dissipate the odor. It would have made me uncomfortable, but it didn't matter because at least I didn't smell at all. I mean absolutely none. brought my nose right up to her and took a deep breath to see if I could detect a scent. I couldn't detect any smell at all. any additive that gives pure polyurethane foam the viscoelastic properties that we call "memory foam". I doubt it's entirely free of those additives, whatever they may be. the properties of the foam, enough to make you suspect that it may contain traces of these additives. The honeycomb structure is very thin, like memory foam, and feels a little heavier (dense) than regular foam. Also the fact that it could be compressed to 1/3 of its original volume speaks in favor of memory foam, which often comes in the same compressed state as this pad. It seems a little more resilient than regular foam, along with viscosity if you pay attention. Whereas with memory foam you sink in and form an indentation and that takes almost an hour until the foam literally goes wafer thin under your hips and shoulders and you find yourself in an indentation to work your way out of the pad, the dive is basically completed in under half a minute, longer than regular foam, but not much longer, and it never gets paper thin, and it's easy to get out of the recess because the foam on both sides of the recess compresses almost instantly while With memory foam, you have to roll out of the recess before the foam even begins to compress towards the recess. I'm just guessing that it has some memory foam additives in it. If so, then it is enough to give the foam more elasticity so that it adapts to your shape better than regular foam. I don't like memory foam for the effects of getting stuck in your own depression and the effects of being on something no thicker than a sheet of paper and the effects of sweat and pent-up heat caused by - due to In addition, the memory foam hardly breathes. If this pad does indeed contain some memory foam additives, which I feel is enough to make it perform better than regular foam and not enough to get the undesirable properties I associate with memory foam. So what's not to like? The only thing I found is that it's wider than it should be, almost an inch, and that's if you want the pillow to be as wide as the mattress. I prefer the pad to come back about half an inch around the perimeter from the edge of the mattress, so the ideal width for me is about 59 inches, and this pad is almost 61 inches. For some people this will be a deal breaker. I wasn't particularly happy about it, so today I visited a few stores that sell foam. One of them just had a bunch of collapsing yellow foam. The other place was a nicer mill store that sold a decent selection of cut styrofoam on big shelves in one corner. They had two pieces of standard 60" x 80" foam, both 2" thick, not 3" like the product in question. They want $120 each. I remember seeing a stack of raw polyurethane foam at Ollie's about five years ago, which I wandered around out of curiosity. This particular store no longer suits me, and that was at least five years ago, maybe longer. I've already spent the better part of half a Saturday on this search and probably over a gallon of gas. It just doesn't make economic sense to explore the area. If you already know a place that you know has exactly what you want at a price point comparable to Revain, then it makes sense. For something like this, however, it doesn't make economic sense for most people to look locally for a better price. And given the cost of this piece of foam, unless you live near Ollie's and they have the right size foam, you probably won't find a better price for a similar quality. In that case, you're in luck. The fact is this foam pad is tremendous value, it will be shipped to your door hassle free. As for trimming the foam to the desired width, I expect to get it done in the next week or two. I've already watched a few YouTube videos showing how to cut styrofoam with an electric kitchen knife. First you need to draw a line, nice and straight, first measure from the factory cut edge and make a few notches, and then after making sure all the notches are correct use a ruler and draw a straight line through the sections. When you draw the line you have to be careful not to snag the foam with the ink pen or marker because if you get snagged on it you will end up with a bunch of small tears that become jagged after you finish cutting. Slots right on a fresh corner. You do not want that. It's best to use a good ballpoint pen or even better one of those gel pens with big rollerball pens and take your time marking. So yes I have to spend about $17 for an electric kitchen knife, probably a B&D with a 9" blade, but I'll most likely be ordering it from Revain and it's delivered fast and shipping is free (it's free if you there are). is a Prime member or if you add something else to the order to bring it up to $24 or $25 or whatever). Bottom line it's not perfect but the only real issue is the width which is easy to fix and besides that it's excellent and has a huge load value. So I sincerely recommend it to anyone who can handle the excess width. You can find an alternative at last, but you will likely have to pay a lot more for it.
