Mattress topper?

Does any one use a mattress topper for themselves or for their toddler? My son has a twin size bed and it is very uncomfortable. I feel so bad about it, I'm not sure it bothers him or not but you can feel the springs just rubbing your hand across it, and its not even a year old yet. So I'm thinking of getting a topper, and was wondering if anyone knew of an affordable, comfortable topper? How many inches should I get?

we use to have one until we got a bigger bed, I got it at overstock.com
Ceci's bed is the same way so Im hoping to get her one too, I was thinking a memory foam 4inch one.

My mom has a 4 inch one for their king bed and it is super comfy. Just not sure if I can afford it right now.   Maybe I should let him sleep on my bed for now, it's not getting used anyways. (I sleep with him in his bed and SO sleeps on the couch..) One reason I know it is uncomfortable is because I sleep with him and wake up most mornings in pain.

Thats a good idea, you dont want your tot in pain.
Did you look at the prices on overstock. Maybe try when you or so get a tax refund.

You can get fairly cheap nice ones from Ikea

Is that an online store?

I definitely don't want him in pain.   I'm hoping to be able to get one before tax refund time but if not I will get him a really good one, won't matter the price. Maybe I should just get a couple of cheapo egg crate ones to stack on top of each other while waiting for tax time.

You can order online if you don't have one near you.

I don't have one near me, I looked around at the store online and couldn't find any mattress toppers? Do they call them something else maybe?

They call them pillowtops. Here's the one we have for our bed and for DD's

Is it super comfy?

Very comfy!

Id definitely pick up a cheap mattress topper for hygiene reasons so if theres any accidents during the night, you can machine wash the topper . It doesnt have to be the best memory foam topper or anything, it can be quite cheap

I got a cheap one to tide us over but I'm getting a more expensive one when we can. They can't be machine washed as far as I know but accidents never happen at night for us.
