How thick is the typical mattress pad?
A mattress pad is normally a fabric, quilted cover with elastic corners. They're typically 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. A mattress TOPPER, on the other hand, made from visco-elastic memory foam is a much thicker pad, usually 2-4 inches thick.
If I have a pillow top mattress, do I still need to use a mattress pad?
Mattress pads offer an additional layer of luxury and comfort. If you already own a pillow top mattress I don’t really see the need for a mattress pad. However, I would recommend investing in a mattress protector. The mattress protector is an additional layer between the mattress and your bedsheet. Waterproof mattress protectors protect your mattress from any accidental leaks or spills. It is essential in a home with young kids and pets. Another huge benefit of investing in a mattress protector is that it protects your expensive mattress from stains. Several warranties become void if the mattress is stained. So if you plan on using your mattress for a long time without voiding your warranty, the mattress protector is a great solution. It also helps extend the lifespan of your mattress. If you have been having trouble with bedbugs, the mattress protector is the answer. While buying a mattress protector, remember to check the dimensions so that it is a snug fit on your mattress.

Is a foundation necessary for a memory foam mattress?
No but it makes a HUGE difference. If you put a memory foam pad down on the ground or on some cushions or even on an air mattress, you will not be very satisfied. Although there is an improvement, you need a regular box spring + mattress for a memory foam pad to provide its full (and very comfortable) effect.
Will standard sheets still fit my bed if I use a mattress pad?
Yes, but these days most "standard" sheets are labeled "deep pocket." If you have a thick mattress topper, you'll need "extra deep pocket" sheets. It's best to measure your mattress with the topper in place, then look for sheets with the mattress depth on the package. If all else fails, just buy flat sheets and make your bed Hotel style, tucking the corners.
