Comments on: Do Not Buy Costco Novaform Memory Foam Topper

To answer the sizing question mentioned here, one thing I always look for when buying a topper is that the size of the topper matches up with the size of the bed. This one does. I hate those toppers that fall a few inches too small (the manufacture’s way of skimming).

Have not slept on this gel foam topper yet, but it does have a lot of “memory” to it. And it also has a lot of stench. I will need to drag out my inflatable mattress to use, at least for tonight, because I won’t be able to take the smell of the topper (which I already spread out on top of my mattress).

To give you an idea about the smell (which smells like paint), I took the topper out of the box and laid it out. Left the house for a few hours to run errands, came home and the small permeated the house. I had to open up windows and run ceiling fans.

I have arthritis and fibromalgia so hoping this topper will do the trick.

I too have to say that the review on this was very odd and misleading. I’ve never seen a review titled Don’t Buy, then proceed to praise the product. What was the purpose of doing that?

Thanks for the comments. Shopping for a few memory foam mattresses for my boat. Costco has a reputation for choosing the best products for the best price for their members. They’re return policy supports their commitment to their members. I know that if I’m not happy with my purchase I can return with no questions asked. From what I am reading, I am willing to try it out for myself. BTW, if there is a chemical odor issue my husband will never notice…his sense of smell is not as strong as mine…just a side comment for those who wonder why some dont notice the smell.

We have had the full size Novaform gel topper for more than a year now, and love it. Comfort to the max! Our old innerspring mattress underneath it sags in the middle, and we are trying to decide between buying a 12″ Novaform gel memory foam mattress as a replacement, or just buying a replacement mattress to go underneath the topper. I recommend the topper!

Bought the novaform el memory foam topper at Christmas as my Granddaughter was visiting and was having back problems. She loved it and slept well. Now I use it and love it also.
The odor went away after a few hours, and it inflated as directed. I would recommend it to anyone who has hip or back problems.

I am looking to buy this in queen size and just have a question about sizing. I have previously bought toppers that seem to be 1-2 inches less wide than they should be. When fully inflated the topper was noticibly smaller than the actual size of my mattress under it. What have the people who have this topper noticed with regard to sizing?

Im on night 3 of my queen topper, and my whole room has been taken over with the intense odor that is not decreasing at all yet. I’ll try letting it air outside this weekend. Makes my pillows, pjs and everything smell really bad and it’s quite strong! I’m still undecided if I like it or not, but one thing is for sure, I will not be keeping it if this smell doesn’t go away. Way too strong! :/

I just bought the Queen size novaform gel topper about 2 days ago. It still smells, so I pulled all the sheets off to air it out. I am concerned as to why some people have no smell on their new topper and mine is still smelling. There was one person that said that the chemicals are not safe is that true?

Bought the queen topper w/ the fiberfill mattress pad. The fiberfill is matted down and even after fluffing has not come near the 2 inches they mention. The foam expanded quickly and fully but the odor make me so dizzy I could not walk or drive for 2 days. They assured me via email that the odor will subside then immediately followed that sentence with ” please reutrn it” if it does not go away.
Waste of money, time and energy-especially trying to return it to Costco.

I just purchased this novaform topper from Costco in Folsom a few days ago. I am following the directions and letting it expand for 72 hours. So far it is going like said. After reading the comment section I am a little bit concerned and now can not wait to sleep on it after the 72 hours. Some of the comments are good and some bad. I will see for myself.

I bought it in Folsom, Ca at costco and have never purshaded a bad item and have only had to return a few things over many years.

Sincerely, Diane Lingle
