I have a three year old expensive and pretty firm Queen Size Mattress and am thinking about getting a 2 inch gel infused mattress cover and would appreciate any comments pro or con from your experience.
 

We've had one for about a year. I like it, nice and comfy but for whatever reason I find it pretty warm to sleep on if I don't kick off some covers.

I hesitate to comment because the foam mattress cover I tried years ago, did not mention "gel." However, I will never try any sort of foam mattress anything again. It was so uncomfortably hot to sleep on, I had to throw it away. I wish I could soften this graciously, but the truth is, I wasted my money. Sigh.
 

I also don't like those "tempurpedic foam" mattresses. Too hot and they trap you in one place. Plus, I hear that after just a few years they compact badly. I only slept on one at a friend's guest room. I have read the gel topper makes it more comfortable, but I never tried it and have my doubts.

Look into natural 100% natural Latex foam rubber maybe. I have a latex foam rubber pillow, it's awesome.
 
Do you mean a foam mattress topper? If so, I've had one for years.
I have a firm latex foam mattress and a 3 inch memory foam topper (my mattress cover goes over both of them). The topper makes it a softer bed.
You only need the gel if being warm (at night) bothers you. I just use lighter weight blankets than I did before.
My pillow is foam with gel on one side. The gel is nice in summer, but I think it's just a temporary improvement unless I move to a different spot. I wouldn't want a gel topper in winter (I'm in Wisc.).
