Thanks guys, I guess I didn't look hard enough. I was just looking on the custom cutting section. I would prefer that they did it, on the chance they will give a "package price" for both sheets.

Overstock has the memory foam topper onsale again. $129 any size. Not as cheap as Asianflava got it, but not bad. It's the 4# density.

Sorry to say Rocky, but I have Friday, Saturday and Sundays off. 4-10's is a good thing when you work nights! :SH

Wright,

When I was in Thailand/Vietnam during the Vietnam conflict, I had a 2 on, 2 off, 3 on 3 off schedule. Talk about a super schedule.
Chris :D

The tension between what is good enough and what is beyond that creates the space for character to become our work.

When I was in NORAD stationed in the Cheyenne Mt Complex, I had midnight shift (12 hours - 6pm to 6am) and it was 3 on 3 off. We used to run doubles in order to get 6 days off to go to Yellowstone or Grand Canyon from Colorado Springs.

Wasn't a bad deal at all!

bed, 6 inches of foam plus a 2 inch memory foam topper.... not much different that tempurpedic... which has a foam base with memory foam on the top.... and a high price.....

their patent must have run out, as tempurpedic is doing infomercials now, the way to reach the uninformed.

We just received our 3 inch 5.0 foam memory pad purchased through ebay ("Mr. Foam") for a full size bed.

With shipping it was a tad over $73. Very quick shipping; purchased on Sunday, here on Thursday.

Are Mr Foam's toppers the same dimensions as the bed i.e. 60X80 for a queen?

The topper I got from overstock (other posts said theirs are too) is slightly smaller than the bed. If I glue the memory and base foam together, I would like them to be the same size.

Actually, I think "Mr. Foam" sent us a queen size by mistake. Unpacking it I noticed the bottom of the box said "white queen" and the full size fitted sheet was too small for it. A queen size fitted sheet fit fine. It's still "unfolding"; I just meaured it and its 78 inches by 57 inches after 24 hours of expanding.

57" wide sounds like a queeen. Most of the toppers I've seen are all a couple of inches smaller than the mattress. If one is needed to fit a queen size exactly, then probably a king to be cut down would be needed.
