Get the thickest you can afford. I got the 1" first but it wore out rather quickly in the middle. I now have - as I said before - a 3" which I have hopes it will last longer.
I got mine from broken link removed: https://www.comfort4you.co.uk/acatalog/Memory_Foam_Toppers.HTML who have a sale on at the moment and delivery is free!
I have slept on a Sleep Number bed for almost 20 years and love it. Even the guest bedroom has one. Great for couples who like varying degrees of soft/hard mattresses.
I am a HUGE fan of memory foam. My bed has a memory foam top built in and it is the best. For anyone that has a travel trailer (or caravan for those in the UK), a foam topper can make even those beds comfortable! We got ours from Overstock.com.
I recommend getting one covered with a cloth ("coolmax") cover.
I also vote for 3 inches Although, again, personal taste as I have some guests feel this was too soft
I should note that a few people feel they get hot at night from them (your body heat can kind of build up under you.) The cool max cover should help if you think this might be an issue for you.
We've used them for years. For some odd reason, when I had my RTKR in April I didn't think to use one on my sick bed. Then when I did my LTKR in October, I remembered to--what a difference!
When I didn't use one, it was WEEKS before I could sleep through the night after surgery; when I did use one, I was sleeping through the night in just a few days...
They do smell wierd for the first day or so, but that goes away, mine did at least. It comes from them being wrapped up so tight in the plastic. Once it is unrolled and open it gets to air out and should be fine.
