2. I have a topper.

I really like it. It's one that was bought separate from the mattress. It gives you the best of both worlds. And, you can replace it if it loses its cushion. My advice is to get one as thick as you can afford. Overstock.com usually has some pretty good deals. You can probably get a good one at TJ Maxx, Ross, or Tuesday Morning, too.

My mattress is a Sealy, but I recall that the Sertas were equally nice.
