Omalon is visco-elastic foam? I thought it was a more conventional foam...What does it feel like? I paid like $29 for mine (Twin) at Penney's years ago! Inflation! As to what it feels like, it's nothing like memory foam, so I would not classify it as "visco-elastic", not at all. I think that may be an error. It's like a very firm, very springy type foam. Not as springy as latex but springier than HR, and firmer than most toppers. A guy told me that he highly recommended it as a base foam for someone like me who isn't wild about latex (This refers to an all-foam mattress; I think with springs latex doesn't bother me.) I have used mine at various times and have liked it. It is what you might call pre-crushed. It does not wear out as fast as other foams because they've pre-crushed it to break it in, so to speak.

I'm just now reading this! Sorry! :( I haven't posted in awhile. I guess that's a GOOD thing--it means my mattress feels great. As for your question: No, my Cuddlebed hasn't squished down at all. I'm impressed at how well it's held up. Now I also have one of those down alternative feather beds with larger squares of polyfill. I tried that once before I got the Cuddlebed and it definitely left depressions. What a pain to have to shake it out to even out the fill. So, here it sits, folded up in a corner. It's HUGE (King). It's very billowy, but just not supportive enough. The Cuddlebed, on the other hand is much "tighter" and while it's soft, it is NOT like a marshmallow or deep cloud. It's just right for my back. I have it over an Omalon topper (which never squishes down--guaranteed for life to keep its shape.) Wonderful combination! Say, Beddy-Bye, does your Cuddlebed squish out under your heavier areas? My down-alternative polyfill mattress topper, not Cuddlebed but I think similar, squishes out under my rear and then my back starts to hurt a little bit. So I try to fluff it up but it is not that easy because it is in pockets of fill. No idea how it gets out of its pocket, but it seems to. Do you think I'd be better off buying a Cuddlebed to get the softness I need? Kait
