National Sleep Products Aston Pillowtop Mattress Pad Review

Not a complete waste of money

"I have a 12-inch thick king size mattress and bought a new 4-inch memory foam topper from Overstock. At the same time, I bought the mattress cover because I thought it might make the topper and mattress look like one piece and other reviews said it worked for their king size bed. Didn't happen with mine. The sides of the mattress pad don't stay down as my other "extra-thick" mattress pads do. The sides started out covering all when I made the bed, but worked their way up inside the bottom sheet and hung on the memory foam topper after the first night of sleeping on it. Sides would probably stay down if I didn't have the memory topper. Bottom line -- if you have an extra thick mattress or one with a topper, it's not going to work. After a couple of nights and days of trying to get it to cover the mattress side wall, I gave up and put it on the king size mattress (without a memory or built-in topper) in the guest room and went back to the old mattress pad. Haven't had any guests yet, so don't know if it's working it's way up on that mattress or not. Also, there's not enough padding in the top of the cover that you could actually call it "pillowtop," so don't think it will add any comfort to your mattress. Since it didn't cost more than local store prices and the shipping was free and it might work for the guest room bed, I wouldn't call it a complete waste of money. But it's not something I would recommend to a friend."
