Does anyone have a mattress topper they would recommend? I want one for my daughter for college, but the one we bought is so soft and she wants a more firm mattress topper. Most are rolled up in the stores, so we can't tell if it's somewhat firm or soft.
Her mattress is a hand me down from my grandmother so it's really old! So maybe the dorm mattress would be fine for her. She isn't used to luxurious mattress comfort!  |

My boys just used nice mattress covers from like Target. Those dorm mattresses aren't usually very soft. Also whatever you purchase make sure it is for an XL twin or it won't fit.

We got one for dd from Walmart last year but she wants a new one this year. Her bed size might be different, since she's moving into an apt.
I think I'm going to check out Bed Bath & Beyond. They have a 20% off for college students.
Also, a pea on here mentioned a facebook group for moms getting their kids to college, the stuff they need etc. Might be helpful to ask there. Except I can't remember the exact name!

We bought ours from Kohl’s. There were in store displays where the kids could squeeze a sample piece to see the firmness. Also check Amazon—there should be some feedback there. If she likes a firm mattress, you may not need one. Every dorm mattress I’ve ever felt has been very firm.

We got a memory foam one from Wayfair. Not sure why but she had a problem with it getting bunch up and getting lumpy. She was given a free one also from a roommate. We had it in our kitchen and the dog shredded it for some reason. So keep it away from pets. If I had to do it all over I might consider a goosefeather topper.
