The price difference is about $50 and I'm worried if I get the 6" one, it'll be too thin. Any suggestions?

oh, okay. You're talking about the thickness of the mattress. I misread the title as 6" by 8" mattress and thought you meant the length and width of the mattress. I was gonna say that would be a very small mattress, thinking that you mistyped and meant to put 6' by 8' mattress.

Whatever you get, make sure it's the newer gel memory and not the old white stuff.

Ask about the satisfaction guarantee the store has if you're really iffy about the $50. Try the thinner one and return it if it's not thick enough for you.

The new memory foam is a blue gel memory. It stays much cooler and I find it conforms better.
