    That’s a how long is a piece of string question, how deep are your sheets? If you go too deep your sheets won’t fit. Foam will also be too hot. How are you going to keep the foam in place? I doubt it will be as comfy as a proper topper.

    Watch out for fire safety.  Some types of foam is very flammable.
