I’ve had the same topper for a few years, maybe three, and yes is is very thick. But didn’t plump up over 4 inches. I’m able to fit both my mattress and topper in my mattress protector.

So when looking at memory foam toppers the best metric to measure quality will be the density. Not to be confused with firmness, for memory foam its density and firmness are not necessarily related. You will want to consider the feedback on firmness to try to match your own personal needs. This can be difficult because there are all sorts of body types and preferences out there, so for every topper that exists there will be people saying its too firm, and people saying its too soft. Generally speaking the heavier you are the firmer you need, as you will bottom through a topper that is too soft and it will actually provide insufficient pressure relief. Some vendors will tell you the firmness, the vendors I like will tell you its ILD, which is a metric to measure the compression for comparison of firmness. But for most youre stuck sifting through reviews and trying to get a feel for how often people say its too soft, vs too firm, and making a judgement based on that. Not easy when no one is telling you their weight and sleep position. With all that blabbering out of the way. Youre already looking a 2 very popular affordable options. Both are around 2lb density memory foam which is on the low side. There are cheaper toppers made by companies like Linenspa, but they will be even worse quality than what you are looking at. One that offers a slightly better value is This Amazon Basics gel topper which is about 2.5lb density memory foam for $75. So mediocre quality for a good price, not a terrible deal. You would just want to be sure the feedback on the firmness matches your preferences. More on reddit.com
