Tempur-Pedic TEMPUR-Adapt Topper (line)
If you are adding something to change how a mattress feels rather than just protect it, a dense, thick memory foam topper is the change that actually works, and Tempur-Pedic's topper is the reference for that pressure-relieving feel.
Not for: Hot sleepers, stomach sleepers who need a firm flat surface, and anyone who only wants protection or a light cushion layer, which a mattress pad handles more cheaply.

Tempur-Pedic TEMPUR-Adapt Topper
Excellent pressure relief and motion isolation, with a removable, washable cover; a practical way to soften an overly firm mattress.
Not for: Hot sleepers, latex fans, or mattresses with significant sagging.
Which one fits you
natural, springier, cooler-sleeping topper
Sleep On Latex (brand)
Natural latex adds cushioning with faster bounce-back and less heat retention than memory foam.
Not for: People with latex sensitivities, or anyone who wants the slow, sinking hug of memory foam.

Questions
Can a topper fix a mattress that is too firm or too soft?
It can soften a too-firm mattress well; it can only partly firm up a too-soft one, and it cannot fix a sagging one.
