Are you supposed to put a mattress pad over a foam pad?

I just bought a memory foam pad yesterday for my bed. My mattress is memory foam but it’s a little too firm for my liking, so I figured this would make it softer. Last night I slept on the new foam with my original thick cotton mattress pad on top and I don’t really think I got the full effects of the foam because of it. So just now I removed the cotton mattress pad and just put my bed sheet over the foam. The problem is you can see through the sheet and see the foam and the holes it has for the temperature. It just doesn’t look right. Is it supposed to be like that or should I buy a very thin pad to put on top of the foam? I’m so confused! What is the correct way to put a foam mattress pad on? Right now I just have:

Mattress
Foam Pad
Bed Sheet Over Foam
Then my normal sheet, blanket and duvet cover.

yes i would try a very thin pad ontop and see how you like it.

you can also call the place you got the bed and ask for advice :) they will know what 2 do

    I just put a plain old matterss cover over the foam. They are reasonable at Walmart and do the trick just fine! Mine has a 2" layer of fake down or what they call down alternative in it for a softer feel but that is just my choice. I got mine really cheap at smartbargains.com on one of the last minute sales. If you can wait a week or so between chosing one and getting it in the mail this would be a great place to find one! I got mine at half the price Walmart was selling theirs for, including the shipping charges.
