There’s no doubt that memory foam beds provide many benefits, like excellent support and good, healthy sleep, along with the fact that while it contours itself to you as its substance is softened by your body heat, it regains its original shape when you get up. If you can’t really afford a full bed, perhaps you might consider a foam mattress topper instead. You might call it something of a mattress enhancer.

But for the sake of your future comfort, you should be aware of some of the drawbacks of foam mattress toppers as well. The reason why memory foam works so well in the first place is that the top 3 inches or so heat up and will change shape, while the lower layer is not affected, remaining cool and firm. This is how much of the good supportive effects are derived. If you don’t already have an existing mattress to provide similar underlying firmness, then the good effects of the foam topper will undoubtedly be lost.

Keep in mind as well that your own mattress must be absolutely flat. Since the memory foam mattress toppers change shape, if one is placed on top of an already sagging mattress, then this could influence its change of contour, and prevent these changes from being uniform and controlled. You don’t want a foam mattress topper to sag into an existing mattress. If this is done, when it starts changing shape under the influence of your body heat, it could actually make the sag worse, and make you less comfortable rather than more. Your pseudo-memory foam bed could do you more harm than good.

If you don’t have a good underlying mattress, with the very particular and necessary properties of firmness and a very flat surface, then you’ll lose most if not all of the good effects you might have received from the foam mattress topper. So you’ll need to evaluate your situation carefully. If you think you’d do better to get a new, firm mattress as a base, then you might want to look at the total expense of doing that, and reevaluate your whole plan. Your best bet might be to buy a complete memory foam bed after all.
