Reviewing "MyPillow" Mattress Topper

I previously reviewed our MyPillow pillows, which we still love. Because the pillows were such a hit in our home, we also opted to buy the MyPillow mattress topper.

I wanted to wait a while to review the mattress topper. For me, it was as important, if not more important, than the pillows. Plus, it is a lot more expensive than pillows, therefore I wanted to make sure it was worthy of my recommendation. Now that we have been sleeping on the topper for 4 months, I believe I can give you a review based on experience, not just first impressions.

For me, a mattress topper is not just about making a bed more comfortable. It is about being able to sleep through the night without experiencing discomfort from being too soft or too hard. Both can result in pain. My days of sleeping on floors or on the ground, long ago passed.

Why I Need a Great Mattress Topper

I have mentioned in past articles that I was born with severe scoliosis (curvature of the spine). Because of the multiple curves in my spine, as well as having a pronounced raised hip on one side, I do experience pain, especially if I do not have good support when sleeping or sitting. My mattress matters a lot to me, as I think it does to everyone, whether they suffer with scoliosis or not. I'm not quick to embrace any kind of change. However, it was time for a new mattress on our bed.

When You Hear the Price of a New Mattress

My husband and I started shopping for a new mattress, only to discover many of the current mattresses are made of foam. I wasn't quite sure how I felt about that fact and started testing the mattresses with a great deal of apprehension. In spite of feeling like we were on display in the store, we tried several mattresses. There was only one that would suit my needs. When the salesman, unapologetically, quoted an astronomical price that exceeded $15,000, I walked. No, perhaps you could say I ran from the store. I was not about to spend that kind of money on a mattress that may or may not feel great for 8 hours each night, for years to come. I thought our mattress was looking a whole lot better and clearly had at least 15 more good years. In the car, my husband was saying he would do whatever I needed regardless of price. My mind was saying, $15,000 for a mattress? I paid less than that for my first automobile!

When we got home, I promptly went online and ordered a Memory Foam mattress topper. The Memory Foam Topper price in 2017 was $116.00, clearly significantly less than $15,000. I had to wait several days after we received it to put it on the bed. It smelled awful! It took a while for it to air out enough to be able to sleep on it, but I felt this was a good compromise.

The MyPillow Mattress Topper

After sleeping on our MyPillow pillows for a month, I decided to try the MyPillow Mattress Topper too. My Memory Foam mattress topper was now 3 years old. My husband described its condition as having to sleep in craters. Okay, so it had clear recesses. I guess it's "memory" of our body impressions was just a little too good, but I was still not in the mood to spend an automobile price on a new mattress and the Memory Foam mattresses were no longer available. So, we bought the MyPillow mattress topper.

The first week was a real adjustment for me. It was harder than the Memory Foam, but I was definitely sleeping through the night and waking up pain-free. After a month, all was still well and I no longer thought it was too firm. After 4 months, I can say, with certainty, that this mattress topper is the right choice.

Reviewing "MyPillow" Pillows

I have found several things that I really like about MyPillow. Wash & Dry, Soft yet Firm, Cool, 10yr warranty, made in USA

My Pooh on My Pillow

When my husband suggested we buy a pair of "My Pillow" pillows, I was hesitant to spend more money on pillows. After all, we have tried several brands in the last few years and none have been worth the price. As a matter of fact, I have always gone back to my 20+ year old pillow that I can fold in half and make work for me. However, I do believe I can now retire that tired old pillow. Much to my surprise, the MyPillow pillow is exactly what I need.

The MyPillow website has a "find your fill" chart (on this page). I answered the 4 questions and then rebelled against the recommendation. I didn't believe for one second that I needed a "more fill" firm pillow (their green product). I have tried firm pillows in the past and hated them. I need the support under my head, but I prefer a soft pillow. After a great deal of speculation and reading the reviews in multiple places, I decided to try the site's pillow choice recommendation.

I am delighted with the results!

Upon receipt, I unwrapped our MyPillows pillows and washed them first. I wanted to ensure they were really washable and able to be dried in my dryer. I was thrilled with the excellent results. Now, when either of us is sick, we can still use our preferred, comfortable pillow and simply wash & dry it to remove germs. That is a huge benefit for a pillow.
