I also use a memory foam mattress and it is definitely much more comfier than the conventional mattresses.
Key Benefits:

Protection for your mattress
Includes a bamboo cotton removable case
i imagine bedsheets would do the trick
Seems a good price - I paid around $150 during an eBay 20% off sale.
They make the bed noticeably taller and some fitted sheets can have trouble staying on in one corner - but they are comfy once you get used to the softer feel.
Makes sleeping on a normal mattress feel like lying on concrete.
I found not good for heavily pregnant wife as it makes rolling over even more of an effort.
I notice the kogan's topper is only 4CM thick while others are 8CM thick.
Ahh, didnt spot that - mine bought elsewhere is 8CM thick
Assume these make the mattress feel a lot softer?
My current mattress is too firm so tempted to try this out - cheaper than buying another one..
We bought one of these toppers to see if it made our koala easier to sleep on for the pregnant wife and found it just caused more overheating issues and didn't really provide any additional softness. (maybe 4cm is too thin?)
We've since returned the Koala and moved to Ergoflex and the topper now sits in the cupboard. Not good for heat retention!
Surprisingly the memory foam on the ergoflex did not cause me any overheating issues on a 30degree night last night so maybe different grades of memory foam work better.
If I remember when they first introduced this was in the 59-69$ range..
Cheaper HERE and it's a 5cm thick one. Using code PRO20 brings it down to $87.96 with free shipping. I bought the same one from Catch for $89 when they had it on sale and think it's pretty good. I don't get any hotter on it, which might be attributable to the grooved surface.
From the picture, this appears to just sit on top of the matress. What holds it in place and stops it slipping around?
