Would this work on an existing memory foam mattress? I have one that is 10 years old and sags in the middle, would this "revive" it?

John, my guess is not. The foam mattress will bend to the contour of your foam mattress and you will end up with a deeper sag. Have you flipped the mattress? To be sure, I would call or stop in a mattress store and ask for their thoughts. Good luck. David

I really doubt that this foam would adequately compensate for a sagging mattress under it.

If your current mattress is sagging in the middle, you need to get a new mattress. A topper will not 'revive' a sagging mattress I'm afraid.

I know it worked on regular bed which was sagging on my side it gave enough stiffness , and works great.

I don't think so. From the mattress professionals we've talked with a memory foam mattress should not be used more than seven or eight years. I had mine for 12 or 13 years before switching to an innerspring mattress with this topper. I had the Tempur-pedic, and this combo of innerspring and foam topper is even more comfortable. Best sleep I've had

I am currently using it with a memory foam mattress and have had no problem yet. I turn it on high for about a half hour before I go to bed and then either turn it down or all the way off, so mine isn't on the high setting for very long.

The key word is "help". Yes, it helps, but only with frequent repositioning of the bed's occupant. My mother, who has back problems and fragile skin, finds it very comfortable. I, however, see a deep sag in the gel foam topper even when the bed goes unoccupied for several hours at a stretch. I have turned the pad over, and end for end, but the sag remains. Still, my mother enjoys it greatly and we have seen no bed sores.

I would give it a go. My brother uses it on his mattress so it's worth a try.

I don't think this will work for you, Patricia. The manufacturer says it won't work with lightweight foam mattresses so I doubt an air mattress would have enough weight to hold it in place and it would be dangerous.

Honestly- I've put a lot of weight on my gel memory foam mattress as a test to see how it would reform. It went right back into shape within seconds. I don't think you would have a problem. I probably will never rotate mine haha. I'm happy with the way it is. I hope this response helps. I didn't see a weight limit anywhere. I would email the seller and ask them if you have any doubts.

We have a very old couch that sags as well and honestly I don't see much of a difference in the way the cushions are when the bed is folded up with the replacement mattress. It's still a very good mattress to sleep on though.

I have a cheap foam mattress from Ikea (MOSHULT)that works fine. I'm not sure how memory foam would work.

I have memory foam mattress, it's bit harder then regular foam mattresses and it works. Eventually I'll use it on the floor when I'll get use to it more. Thanks!

I did so with the memory foam mattress I purchased for my daughter's bed without problem. Mine is on a platform foundation. Realize that the box spring configuration is less firm. I have no idea about the long term effects of putting one on a box spring. My daughter loves hers.

Amazon does sell adjustable frames that say they are good for memory foam mattresses so I would think that this one could be used for it. If you already have a bed frame, what you should know is that these types of mattresses need to be on a very sturdy surface, not like a regular box spring or the warranty would be void. The reasons for this is that if they are not on a stable surface, they will not perform properly. My fiance built a wooden frame for our first memory foam mattress and didn't buy the correct type of wood for it. We're not small people and the wood cracked a bit and we both noticed immediately that the mattress seemed to become spongy. He fixed the break in the frame and it immediately became sturdy again. Do a search on adjustable bed frames for memory foam mattresses on Amazon and see if yours looks like the ones Amazon sells to see if it will work for you.

This probably gives as much padding to the original mattress as adding a mattress. I added a mattress but it wasn't much softer than the original. This pad helps.

I think you would have to do a lot of modifying to make that work! The opening to the air mattress is designed for a vacuum cleaner hose. At least, that is my recollection. I haven't used the mattress in a few months.

I had my old memory foam mattress for 13 years on an adjustable bed and it was fine. The only reason I bought a new one is because it was just time to replace it!

You definitely need to purchase a 3" memory foam topper for your bed. I've used overstock.com twice, and buy a new one about 3-4 years. A lot cheaper than a new mattress, unless yours is completely broken down. I've had same mattress for a decade now; my body never touches it, only the topper. I expect it to last forever, because it never feels the weight of my body. Even so, I turn it a couple times per year. Good luck.

I really don't know about specific areas of sag in your matress,but it does help to revive the total surface with a plush comfortable feel. Also try flipping and rotating your matress then put the topper on.

That is correct. This frame was designed with the new memory foam mattresses in mind. There's a foot of storage space underneath. I haven't used a regular mattress on this frame but I can't see why it wouldn't work.
