Serta Ultimate 4-inch Memory Foam Mattress Topper Review

Serta Ultimate 4-inch Memory Foam

"I really think the general public does not know what real memory foam is made of. About five years ago I purchased a 2 inch memory foam topper from what was at the time Marshall Fields, the store is now Macys. It was made by a company called SLEEP INNOVATIONS. You can tell by looking at the material used how well the topper is made. It was really great, for five and half years I slept on this with an air mattress, and never had back pain, leg pain or any tossing and turning. The Ultimate 4-inch Memory Foam Mattress Topper is dense yes, but it does not "support" your entire body. Real memory foam should support AND cushion your body, not just cushion it. The reason it looks like regular foam is because it is, they use "fillers" to replace what's called Resin that make up the memory foam cells. They use molds to make this stuff and can fill in with ANYTHING to make it cheaper. As someone who has spent years of studying this stuff, I would not purchase this topper, as it will break down after just a few months, and not hold up as well as real memory foam. After just a week of sleeping on this topper I had, Back, Neck and Leg pain, and was tired all day long from trying to move around on this topper. All this topper does is SINK in the middle where your hips are. That is NOT what memory foam should do! If you test real memory foam, you will notice that when you lay down it won’t just "sink" where your hips are, it will HOLD your entire body, support your middle, back, neck and legs. This is a cheap knock off of the real deal, don’t waste your money! By the way, the manufacture can "adjust" the fillers for different companies, i.e. Serta, and that makes a HUGE difference in quality."
