Marten: Hey, guys, Marten here from Mattress Clarity.
Today we're reviewing the DreamFoam 2" Gel Swirl Memory Foam Topper.
It's a really soft memory foam mattress topper.
I was excited to see if it would soften my mattress, also give me some more pressure
relief.
I want to talk about the design -- who it's a good fit for, who it's not a good fit for.
By the end of the video, you should know if it's the right fit for you.
Let's get started.

Marten: I want to talk about the construction, the design of this memory foam mattress topper.
I also want to say, if you want to see a list of my top picks for mattress toppers, just
google Mattress Clarity best mattress topper.
With the DreamFoam here, let's talk about the design.
First, it's two inches thick, as the name suggests.
It's also a really soft memory foam, has that quicksandy feel.
It's open-cell.
It's going to make it a more breathable memory foam.
It's also infused with gel, but in a very interesting way.
It has this gel swirl that works its way throughout the mattress topper.
Very cool to the touch.
In terms of options, you have a lot of size options.
You have Twin, Twin XL, Full, Full XL, Queen, Short Queen, King, and California King.
Lastly, they have a version without the gel infusion.
Also, they make a Talalay latex version, as well.
Now, let's chat about my experience with the DreamFoam.
First off, getting it at my house and opening it up.
When I did that, it definitely expanded very, very slowly.
It is that very soft memory foam, so it took a while to fully expand.
They recommend 24 to 48 hours to let it fully expand and to off-gas.
Now, speaking of that, there was a strong chemical smell at first, but after that 48-hour
period, no troubles at all.
Let's talk about what I did for the mattress I tested that out on.
I put it on a mattress that was 8 out of 10.
With this on top, it felt closer to a 6.5 out of 10.
Definitely softened it by 1.5 points.
That's quite a bit.
In terms of sleeping positions, starting on my back, some extra contour in there.
It contours for the curves of my body, supporting my lumbar area, as well.
It's a really nice match on my back.
On my side, some definite extra pressure relief, some more softness on my shoulders and my
hips.
I felt pretty fantastic on my side.
On my stomach, it softened up a little bit.
I'm definitely feeling less support on my hips, so maybe not the best match on my stomach.
Speaking also of feel, it does have that really soft, quicksandy memory foam feel.
Pushing your hand into it, it bounces back relatively quickly, but I think for people
who have trouble moving around, this might be an issue.
I definitely felt stuck at a couple of times throughout the night.
Finally, a big issue with memory foam mattress toppers is warmth.
They fight this in a couple ways.
Again, it's open-celled and infused with gel.
I can say it's cool to the touch, but overall, it is memory foam, so over the night, I did
feel a little bit of extra warmth.
Let's talk about the pros, and who I think this mattress topper may be a good fit for.
First, I think it's a great match for back sleepers.
You get some more contouring, conforms to the curves of your body, some more lumbar
support, a great match for back sleepers.
Also, side sleepers, you're going to feel some more pressure relief with this topper
on top of your mattress.
Your shoulders and your hips, less pressure there.
Really nice match for side sleepers.
Also, if you like that memory foam feel, but you don't want to buy a whole memory foam
mattress, it's a great choice for you, as well.
You get two inches of soft memory foam, put it on top of your mattress, you're good to
go.
Finally, if you're looking for a value mattress topper, this is a memory foam mattress topper
for, right now, $67 for a queen size.
A great value, a great deal, and a great option for people looking for a value.
Now, let's talk about the cons, and who I think this mattress topper may not be a good
fit for.
First, I think some stomach sleepers may not get the support they need with this mattress
topper.
It actually softens the mattress, so you may feel less support on your hips.
You may bow in there, get out of alignment.
Also, think about the memory foam feel.
If you don't like that memory foam feel, you may want to look elsewhere.
Again, it's in the title, so probably not the best fit for you.
Lastly, if you have trouble moving around on your mattress, with this memory foam, it
actually makes it hard to move around.
If you have mobility issues, definitely keep that in mind.
In the end, I think the DreamFoam is a great value.
It's a great match for back sleepers, side sleepers, and people who like that memory
foam feel.
If you don't like the memory foam feel, you're more of a stomach sleeper, I would look elsewhere.
You should know if it's the right mattress topper for you.
