I have the 3" Sensus Queen mattress topper ( 3" Queen Sensus Memory Foam Mattress Pad 5LB / 5.3LB) and I'm pleased. Bought off eBay $119+33 shipping, seller was FoamByMail aka Foam Factory Inc( it was actually only $100 when I bought it, but now looks like $119 + $33 now.)
I just now ordered the JC Penny 5" Foam Queen base $89.03 after 30% off and tax($4.59) and shipping( $10.95.)

FYI there is a 30% off code: SUMMER

Now i just need an 8" Queen zip cover for the the whole thing...


Anyone have a recommendation for one to hold the topper and base together?

alright, you guys have my attention. anyone have a link with more info? if i buy the topper and foam do i just stick it on my current mattress?

When i get the Foam base, i will put the topper on it, and Idealy zip them in some kind of 8" mattress cover and use them as my only mattress (3" Sensus topper & 5" foam base on my bed frame.

I would really appreciate some input for an good queen 8"-10" mattress zipped pad, maybe terry cloth like comes on the real Temperpedics.

Ummm, [L=Same Guy maybe?]http://stores.eBay.com/Marks-1-2-Price-Bedding_Topper-Covers_W0QQcolZ4QQdirZ1QQsclZallQQsotimedisplayZ2QQtZkm[/L]

www.SmartBargains.com and Costco have the cheapest price anywhere although their units are only 2-3 inches in thickness, very nice though.

Thanks for the thought, but $99 is way to pricy for this cover for me. I think I should be able to find something under $50. I will just put my queen fitted sheet set over the Foam topper and Base and bet they will stay together fine.
It would still be worthwhile to make the set look sharp and stay together better to get a nice zippered 8"-10" mattress cover, but when a hot deal comes around.

I wanted to add my two cents here...although "Tempurpedic" seems to be the gold standard, it leaves A LOT to be desired. My husband and I are both thin, and the matttress softened terribly after 4 years. Admittedly, it was amazingly comfortable at first, but after 4 years of use there were "tracks" where we generally laid, that were only minimally depressed but so soft to the touch you even heard cellophane-type cracking noises when you pressed gently with your hand. Because it wasn't depressed more than .6 inches, the company refused to do anything- they didn't even repond to my complaint. First my husband, and then I, began to wake up with sacro-illiac joint pain, which went away immediately after we bought a new bed. SAVE YOURSELF THE MONEY - if you want the feel, buy a mattress topper, so you won't be too upset in a few years when it lands in the garbage- beats putting a few thousand dollar bed there.

what is a memory foam mattress and why is it better than a normal mattress that i have?

I feel, memory foam mattress is much better than normal mattress, as it reduces pressure and pain from the body and is temperature sensitive.

I'm about to get a new queen size mattress and I'm leaning towards Mark's. From what I've read, they have a great return policy and the shipping is very reasonable. However I have a friend that knows a manager at Brookstone and might be able to get 40% off the Tempurpedic. If thats the case, I'll have to seriously think it over. Anyone know what the firmness level (ILD) of the Tempurpedics are? They feel kind of soft to me.

Also, want to know, whether it is better to buy thru eBay or from the store directly. If not third option I am thinking is the Cheaper-Pedic, which costs way less. A quick response is much appreciated.

Well I had been looking to get a mattress from Marks for the past few weeks, I was looking at a king, the price on eBay is $996 buy it now plus $75 shipping, the same thing on his website (memoryfoam dot com) is $1,071 , but im not sure if shipping is included in that price.

Also he has a lot of different kits on his site, and one that caught my eye was the Hemingway, it has the same Sensus memory foam topper but instead of using a latex core it uses Resilitex, made from the same company at Sensus and they made it to perform like latex, but costs less. I was wondering if anyone here bought the Hemmingway from mark's or has used the resilitex product before because the King Hemingway(resilitex with memory foam topper) is $833 versus $1,071 for the Del Ray(latex with memory foam topper)

also Marks has a great forum where he answers a lot of questions , you can find it here
