Does anyone know if matress toppers can be bought in Goa anywhere The only thing I dont like is the beds,they are so uncomfortable so was thinking of buying them for myself.
Been to Goa 8 times, never seen mattress toppers there!!!

Very thin "duvet" thingies are available from shops along the front of Mapusa Market, bus station end. By using more than one or folding an approximation of a mattress topper might be obtained. Or opposite the police station, in "Garden Centre Two" there is a shop that sells large sheets of foam in various thicknesses. Go in the first entrance to GC2, straight back till a large parking area appears on your right and Savionnes Royal Enfield spares in front of you. Turn right and immediately left and the shop is on your left. If in doubt, ask!
The Marinha Dourada started using them the last couple of years, and what a difference! So you should be able to get them! 
thank you for the reply I will be on a mission when I get there in Nov:Thats the only thing I dont like the beds are sooo hard. :sun2.My daughter has an appartment at highland beach so we visit Goa each year & I always moan about the beds.This year I intend to do something about it.
I know the owners wife of the shack "Captains Cabin " on Baga beach has 2 of them. I am sure she got them in Goa .
yes goan girls right the marinha dourada have thick matress toppers,makes the beds lovely and comfy,good luck hope you find some!

Well if I have any luck with getting them I will let you know. 
Just because Marinha Dourada has mattress toppers it does not make it any more likely that they will be available in Goa.
It is almost certain that they will have been sourced from Bombay.
We have learned from living here that there is a "get it from Bombay" attitude on the basis that stuff will be unavailable in Goa, or MUCH more expensive. This is rip-off city for the locals too its comforting to note!
On a recent shopping trip to the big city we were amazed at what we could get, and how cheap compared with here. Imported from Brazil Nescafe from Crawford Market was HALF the cheapest price here! If you travelled at the prices locals pay for bus or train, that one jar of coffee's saving would pay your fare (about RS200).
It was also noticeable there that the "pre-bartering price" was more like 10-20% above proper price whereas here it is 100-200%!
If I get the chance during my wanderings in the next few days I will pop i to the MD and ask.
