I bought the memory foam mattress and it has 6" of foam and 5" of memory foam. It's so comfortable although once in awhile since you don't move you can wake up feeling hot but overall it's wonderful! I bought it online but it was from Canada and I can't find the link anymore so not sure if they're still in business. I've heard other positive things about the memory foam topper here also and you can buy it at Walmart reasonably priced.
Type in the blue box at the top of the page above memory foam and it will give you more posts on the subject. I hope you get a good deal for boxing day specials. Take care. Charry

online at Overstock.com It's a 3" Memory Foam and made a HUGE difference in my bed! The cost was only $55 and the shipping was free (it often is, or they also often run less than $2 shipping depending on how much you spend). Doesnt hurt to go to their site and click to the bedding section and find the mattress toppers-they have all sizes and many different thicknesses, etc. Good luck! Let us know what you end up with and how your sleep is improved!

Oh, regarding the "odor" that some complain about with a memory foam topper...that odor goes away w/i a couple days & you can't smell it at all once you've put a mattress cover on it and then made up your bed with the sheets & such. I was concerned about the odor myself because strong odors can trigger my migraines and it wasn't bad at all. I got mine, let it "unroll itself" as they recommend for however many hours it said (maybe even less if I remember correctly), then put it on my bed. The only time I've had a problem with it is when I was living in the tent over the summer-it was my bed and it ended up tearing in the middle (where my fat bum/hips lay, lol), but I don't believe for a minute that would've happened if I hadn't moved it all around & had to sleep on the ground with it-leaving it on my bed probably would have never seen a tear in it.

In fact-I'm going to start shopping for a new one & see what the prices are-I'm curious since it's the end of the year-maybe I can beat my other "great deal" I got on that one & get a new one that's not torn

Linda, I'm with you. I prefer latex. I liked it so much I bought a latex matress. The reason I prefer latex is you don't get the dent. The dent you can't get out of, or roll out of. Latex lets you move around more easily, versus memory foam. It has 2 downside one is cost, but given that latex last longer. It's worth the difference. And weight. True latex is very heavey, so it's not easy to move.

From the research I've done, and personal experience(not a small woman, weight in the hip area, and lumbar issues also), latex foam is very dense. So you don't need as much latex foam, as memory foam. My best opinion in comparing the 2. 2 inches of pure latex memory foam is equal to 4 inches of good quality high density memory foam. So for me 3 inch for a 240lb person was fine. It was firm and supportive, but not hard. So if you want it softer get a thicker pad. Your matress will also play a factor on firmness and softness.

I got my toppers and a matress from a famous online auction site, and an online store. I had good luck there. I personally couldn't find any toppers or matresses in my area, but I live in the middle of no where. If you do decide to buy online, and want to make sure it's true pure latex. Ask your seller the weight of the topper? If the shipping weighs very little it's memory foam, I got burned on that one.

I hope this helps, and if you have any questions feel free to pm me. I'll be more than happy to help.

I am loving my new 4" memory foam topper. I bought it from a popular online store on a deal of the day special. Regular almost $500 and I got it for $89 with free shipping. I don't know anything about latex, but this one is wonderful, I'm sleeping more comfortably than I have for a very long time. PM me if you want to know the name of the store.
