They burn like napalm so don't smoke in bed.

The memory foam matresses like TempurPedics are really cool -- especially if you lift and are sore a lot. They contour to your body and can really make nights easier. I've noticed that not only am I less sore, but I flip and flop less.
A number of manufacturers have played around with the density of the foam. Some even offer two-tone layers now (I have one of those).
But to answer your original question, I have a matress "topper" as well (long story, but I bought it to soften a fairly firm memory foam bed). The topper I have is too soft and I sink too much into it. That's the tricky thing about memory foam matresses in general -- you want to sink enough to make a good fit, but once you sink too much into it things get very sore and uncomfortable.
So my advice: If you want to buy a topper for your existing matress of memory foam, err to the side of a firm one. If you get the density right then definately -- they do make a huge difference.
P.S. There is a pillow out there called the "Perfect"-something or something-Perfect... I forget. But it's one-half memory foam and one-half synthetic down. It's way cool and I highly recommend those too.

Those things are buko bucks, my roommate just got one I think it was $1,600.....It'd be worth it though for sure.
Plunkey you ever try just the foam topper on a regular mattress? I've seen those for sale for near $100....

i have the memory foam mattress but it was bought a few years ago and i think its worn. but it is very comfortable. i highly recommend it. but when it starts to wear you can tell because the memory foams doesnt go back to flat. i cant remember how long ive had it but im looking at getting another one soon. but it will be a memory foam matteress again.
