I have a queen size "firm" posturepedic Plus Hybrid Sealy mattress and although it's an excellent mattress, I still experienced some loss in circulation and pressure on my hips and shoulders as a side sleeper. I had been planning on buying this mattress topper for about a month before purchasing. I watched a video of someone reviewing it outside of Amazon and I'd like to share some notes he stated that are true to this topper. If you want to watch that video, look up "Tempur adapt mattress topper review - the best pressure relief?" by Mattress Clarity. The video as if writing this review is 5 years old.
For reference, I am 5'6", 107lbs and I'm bony. I sleep on my side but sometimes roll over onto my back during the night. I have osteoarthritis in my left hip and I've had a history of cervical nerve issues, which makes my left arm numb when I sleep wrong.
Your mattress underneath has to be firm because this topper is SOFT. You probably don't want to be trapped inside your mattress if it's too soft. If your mattress is, for instance, 8 out of 10 on the firmness scale (10 being closer to that of a tabletop), then this topper will reduce that number to around 5. My mattress is soft in comparison to other brands, so there was a concern that this topper would make my bed too soft, but that hasn't been the case.
When I first put this on top of my mattress, I was concerned my hips and especially my shoulders would poke through the foam and be touching the mattress. It might be two inches thick but I haven't actually done that. I'm well-padded. The softness is perfect for me. It did take a few nights for my body to adjust, as I was still waking up with sore hips, but after a month of sleeping on this combo, I wake up refreshed.
I was concerned that I'd maybe need the 3 inch topper instead, but the 2 inches work perfectly fine. Maybe in the future when I might wear this one out, I'll get the 3inch. But for now, this works.
I also love how, like the tempur-pedic mattress, it's motion isolating. I wouldn't trust that a glass of wine wouldn't topple over, like they used to demonstrate in old tempur-pedic commercials, because my Sealy mattress is a bit springy. So if you're expecting this to be perfectly motion isolating, I think it largely depends on your mattress.
If you were like me and were concerned that this topper might shift around without mattress straps, it's ok because mine hasn't budged. However, I do not flop around much while I sleep, so I'm not sure if a flopper would experience the same thing I have been. The box came with a nice fitted sheet that keeps it in place. But for me, this topper has so much grip, I struggled getting it onto my mattress because it decided it didn't want to move. I would recommend someone else help you, especially if you have a queen or larger. But it is doable solo.
Speaking of the fitted sheet, you might want to look into replacing the fitted sheet you already have with something with deeper pockets because this topper does heighten your bed. Deeper pockets or size up, like from queen to king.
My Sealy is rounded at the edges and corners, so this topper sits somewhat awkwardly on top. My fitted sheet makes it look silly along the corners but the rest of my bedding covers it up, so it's not a big deal.
There is minimal smell right out of the package. I didn't mind it at all.
Once the topper was fresh on my mattress, everything felt incredibly soft. Too soft, almost, and yet it was weirdly a little more "firm" when the cover was put on. I liked this. It cemented the idea that this was worth buying.
I couldn't access my package when it arrived because my work schedule clashes with my apartment's leasing office, so I couldn't get into the package room until my weekend started. So this topper was sitting in its packaging for several days. I was worried it wouldn't decompress. Luckily, it decompressed almost immediately by itself. I didn't need to do anything for it to spring into working order.
As for my medical issues, I experienced some arthritic pain at first when going about my day, but that slowly disappeared. I've had zero issues with my cervical nerve to the point where I forget I even have that issue.
I would recommend this tempur-pedic mattress topper to those who have similar features to me and for side sleepers. Larger builds will benefit from this as well, but if you're bigger, I'd suggest watching that video because the guy reviewing it is a bigger guy.

Extremely soft, sink into it.
I'm on the fence with this mattress topper.I have disc issues with my neck, tendonitis in my elbows and a back that sometimes goes out. I'm 5'2 and about 100lbs.I have a Tempur-Pedic mattress that's 8 years old and it is still in great shape (no sagging or anything) but over the last year I just toss and turn back and forth due to shoulder pain.My husband has been having shoulder pain from the mattress also. Before going down the road of trying a million different mattresses I thought it might be a good idea to try a Tempur-Pedic mattress topper. Less expensive and I thought I just need some cushioning support to help our shoulders.It arrived a few days ago and we unrolled it from the packaging. It did have a smell, which I smelled strongly the first night and slightly the second night.It is super soft! Like too soft to where I feel like I am sinking deep and I don't weigh very much. My husband has had much less shoulder pain and I have a had a little less. Although, my back hurt towards morning the second night. I will update this as I sleep on it longer but I am kind of thinking the 3" might be too much and I would prefer 2", but really not sure that is the issue. I'm just not sold on this yet.It does have the cooling cover and you can feel the coolness to the touch or when you lay down, of you move to a new spot you will feel it again, however, the spot you were just in will be warm. I sleep very hot and it has been good so far!
