To what extend does this mattress pad interfere with the benefits of a memory foam mattress?

To no extent at all. In fact, this mattress pad transformed our brand new memory foam mattress from a sweaty and squishy nightmare into a cool and comfortable sleep experience. I can't wait until we are able to replace our mattress with one made out of 100% cotton and wool. Our experience with memory foam has not been great. However, I highly recommend this mattress pad. Excellent quality and superior comfort all around.

You don't need any mattress pad on a memory foam - that's the whole point of a memory foam - so yes it will.

I have Simmons Beautyrest innerspring mattress, so unfortunately I can't help you. :(

I have it on top of what is called plush on my new mattress. I can't say I notice anything that effects the plush part of the mattress. I sleep on a memory foam when I visit my daughter and I think it would help to have this on top. But I don't know for sure.

Hi Taisha, I'm not certain if the 4" thick isoform pad is something that you're adding to a mattress or if you're considering using this pad alone on the platform. Usually memory foam pads, as I know them, are meant to be an addition to a mattress, but you may be talking about something else. What I can tell you is I have an 8" memory foam mattress that I use with this platform and it works well and is quite comfortable, though on the firm side, which is my preference. But the firmness has more to do with the mattress and less with the frame. In fact, a slatted surface is the recommendation for memory foam as it creates the needed airflow so that the heat and mositure from our bodies does not adversely affect the mattress (too much heat can cause sagging, and moisture can create mold/mildew). Hope this info is helpful if not an exact answer to your question.

It made my regular mattress feel hotter so I got rid of this thing. Can't speak for memory foam mattresses, but I thought my comment might help someone else out there.

Have a spring mattress with a foam layer on top --- no problem -- but don't know about memory foam

Not as far as I know. My mattress is not memory foam either, and it works just fine.

Been using mine for months (less than a year) and can tell no difference in the firmness or shape. The manufacture recommends a mattress pad which I'm sure will help prolong the life of the memory foam.

In my view, the mattress topper provides a cooler layer of separation between your body and the memory foam. That's really the reason behind the topper. I would keep it simple, but not too cheap. I can't recall which one I bought because I had it for a few years before I came across this mattress. You want it to be of decent quality so that it fits securely over the mattress. The memory foam delivers the comfort, the mattress pad keeps you cooler.

We use this in a motorhome with a mattress 5 inches shorter and don't have this issue. I love this mattress pad, and we've bought every type of mattress topper there is.

Hi Barbara, We actually bought this for a client who needed some modifications to a memory foam mattress. It fit well for him. There are so many kinds of foam products out there though the key thing is being sure you buy a pad that will fit the depth of your mattress. Measuring should be fairly simple and just be sure to order the right size of pad. Good luck! www.pamelahopedesigns.com

This mattress pad is just a cover. It doesn't really add "extra" comfort or softness to the mattress. We just bought a new mattress from Amazon...It was delivered in a box. Medium firm 10' foam...and I bought the mattress pad to protect it. FINALLY we are getting restful sleep. If you can swing a new mattress...I would do that first. Sorry I am not much help.

It goes directly around the mattress itself. Then a mattress pad may be placed over it.

It supposed to replace the boxspring and you can use a regular mattress. It doesn't really work with a memory foam mattress bc the memory foam squeezes through the wires.

I would contact the company of both the heated mattress pad, and the memory foam topper, and ask if either one would be effected by using them together.

I don't own a memory foam mattress, so I cannot answer the question. There is a big difference between this mattress topper compared to others I've owned. It is quite plush and generously sized. You won't be fighting with this cover to fit over your mattress and it washes beautifully.

I don't know the answer to the questions, since I am using the gel cushion for only 2 continuous hours at the most and use it to relief discomfort. For longer use or to relieve greater pressure a thicker gel cushion may work better. I am pleased with how the 2 inch pad works for me.

It adds extra padding, now that i have had mine a while i would say it has settled in at about 2 inches of added padding. I am not sure what you mean by support, it is much softer than any mattress I have ever owned so to me it helps to add a bit of cushion. It made my very firm memory foam mattress much more tolerable for me.

The pad adds extra softness and support between your mattress and sheet, but not enough to use on the floor.
