I got my memory foam mattress at Walmart.... for 300 about four inches thick I put it on top of a brand new mattress. That was about 2009 ish... As the year went by it grew to a full six inches thick.... Cant find them in the store anymore but if you go online they have them...

Only problem is... When its time for me to remove it.... How in the HECK do I get it out of here.... They are like a wet nooodle trying to pick them up... The only way I can figure is to cut it up in maneagable pieces.....

You are not doomed! There is a list of things you can do to minimize risk of dementia. You already eat healthy and home made foods

The topper you should be able to cut into pieces. The Mattress is often removed by the place that brings the new mattress.

Problematic... Walmart .... for one.... and the other at home was a company whos manager was very kind to deliver my mattress personally... sixty mile one way drive...

I figure I will use the one at home and fashion a futon out of it... The one here will get turned into Dog bed and go into the recycling bin...

I know how to cut regular foam.... just use an electric carving knife..... hopefully memory foam would be the same.

We also bought a memory foam mattress topper for the RV bed. The mattress was like trying to sleep on a brick! Now with the topper and the 2" thick mattress pad it's like sleeping on a cloud! Love it!
