“Will a 2″ pad work for me, or do I need to get a 3″ or even thicker memory foam mattress toppper pad?”

Here’s a question we had today from someone wanting to know if our memory foam sleeps hot:
Question:
“I enjoyed your website and found it very informative, but have one question. I have a too firm mattress about 2 years old and have tried various toppers, including a memory foam topper that I bought at Linens and things. It was comfortable at first, but became unbearably hot throughout the night, and I’m usually very cold-natured!. I had to throw it out and now have an alternative down topper that’s better than just the mattress, but I am very achy in the morning and toss and turn all night. … My husband can sleep on almost anything, but if the topper’s too hot, it’s just not going to work. I didn’t see any testimonials about temperature. Can you give me some info??”
Since September, 2005, memory foam prices to retailers have risen dramatically – many retailers have seen price increases of over 50% in just one month. The reasons behind this price increase have to do with severe shortages of key components for making polyurethane foam. This is just one other offshoot of the damage done by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Both Hurricanes severely damaged the only plants in the US that make one particular key component (called TDI), and while these plants are getting back on line industry experts warn that these shortages may last for a year or longer. And they are also warning that prices may never come down – these price increases may well be permanent.
Welcome to our new Healthy Foundations web blog. I’m very excited about this experiment and look forward to sharing my thoughts on a wide range of subject – not just on memory foam but also on all sorts of other subjects in the mattress and sleep areas as well as any other health related areas that strike our fancies. I look forward to getting your feedback on these postings as well as hearing about any topics or events you would like us to write about. The more we know what you are interested in (questions about memory foam, latex, or air beds, sleep questions, etc.) the more useful this blog can be.
