MATTRESS TOPPERS

    These foam or feather-filled toppers are used to improve a too-hard bed.  The so-called memory foam may look great when advertised but may make you feel like you are sinking in quicksand. 

    A feather-filled topper may look lumpy and may shift overnight as you sleep on it.  Odor may also be an issue with a foam topper as some may have a rubber or chemical scent even after it airs out for a day or two.  Also, before you buy make sure your existing sheets will even fit your mattress plus the topper.
