D2 used a 1" memory foam topper from Target and was envied by her friends. Mattresses in the dorms are hard. (Because I imagine a very firm mattress is more durable? Or maybe just costs less?) Even a little bit of padding helps.

She used a mattress pad over the topper and washed her sheets…er…every 4 or so weeks. Her topper didn’t smell bad even after 4 years of use. (It discolored, but didn’t smell.) She chucked it when she was moving out of the dorms after graduation because it was too bulky to ship home (we live across the country from Rochester) and really who wants a used, stained mattress topper?

The mattress pad over the topper help avoid the memory foam being too warm issue.
