A few years ago, I bought a hybrid mattress, and regretted it almost instantly. I'd opted for a medium-firm mattress, which crushed my joints instead of cushioning them. Still, I couldn't face the thought of throwing it out and starting the whole shopping process all over again – not when I'd spent so much time and money choosing this one.
So, when I was assigned to test the ViscoSoft Active Cooling Copper Topper, I jumped at the chance. Four inches of thick foam proved more than enough to cushion my joints and take the pressure off my hips and shoulders while keeping my spine straight. As a hot sleeper, I was keen to put ViscoSoft's cooling claims to the test. I found that the topper worked to dissipate heat and block odors, though that wasn't always enough to stop my night sweats.
