I have been using mattress toppers for years now. I have fibromyalgia and arthritis so my body is always experiencing discomfort, leading to pain. I am also 5'6" 118 pounds, and 75 years old. Because I am considered a lightweight, and a back sleeper, I know I should use a medium firm mattress, but when you throw in my health issues, medium firm doesn't work for me. I buy three to four inch toppers of different densities so I can easily change them out when needed. Even a $2200 Tempurpedic mattress required the addition of a topper for me! They are making toppers better these days, which is very helpful for an old skinny woman like me.
