Default Novaform Gel Memory Foam Mattress Topper from Costco

I was wondering if anyone has used or purchased this from Costco? And if so how do you like it? I stayed in Panorama a few weeks ago and the bed had this kind of mattress on it. At first I was hesitant, but after two nites sleep I was convinced this is a good mattress. I woke up for the first time in years with no back or shoulder pain. A friend of mine told me Costco sold this topper that goes on top of your mattress. So I was hoping someone on here has used it and was willing to give me some feedback.

Thanks!

Man, it will give you the best sleep of your life. Turns a crumby mattress into something real comfy. Don't hesitate. The one thing I will warn you about is it takes a day or two for the smell to dissipate. Kind of like wet paint for a bit. We have had ours for three years and it's as good as the day we bought it. Plus, it's Costco, so if you don't like it, take it back.

They are freakin heavy! And once you take them out if the box if you get it back in and make it look like new I'll give you $10!

.....but they are worth it, like was mentioned....you might want to air it out somewhere else before you sleep on it.

Combined with gel pillows gives a new meaning to "slept like a baby".

Absolutely amazing comfort.

I have two of them, We use them in our trailer. Incredigirl and I sleep on the dinette, so the topper makes it bearable. Like Lefty says, they are heavy, so it's a bit of a pain moving it around (not like you're going to move it much if it's on your bed at home!)

And Sns2 has a good point, plan to air it out a bit first!

I bought the novaform gel memory pillow. Was very comfortable but I ended up with massive migraines when I used it. Guess due to the chemicals in it.

Might have to do this. Bought a new mattress (firm) for the hubby who was complaining of back pain on the old one.

He doesn't complain any more... I DO. Ouch.

Good to see good reviews on this topper, I think I'll try it as well.

Highly recommend. I have 2 at my house and my family owns at least one each for their main beds too. Definately worth it. Even convinced my buddy to put one in his travel trailer.

I had to air it and the pillows for three days outside before I could use it. Other than that - fantastic

Only downside is they don't breathe so they end up making your bed quite a bit warmer. We picked up a down mattress topper,... and it is Great! They're available from Costco.ca.

They're not quite as cushy as a memory foam pad, but, they breathe.

I was going to get the costco topper but read that the good quality memory foam is not made from chemicals like the costco one but they are away more pricey so I guess its still up in the air on what to buy thats good for me and with no headaches also.

Have one on the bed at home and one on the RV bed which has turned that matress from a POS into something I can sleep on!

I have one on top of my cheap trailer mattress out at the lake. I'd highly recommend one for that use but it wouldn't be my first choice for my regular bed at home. Don't get me wrong, it's good but my gel/foam mattress is much, much better. Affordability certainly makes it attractive.
