After 6 years my mem foam mattress now feels too firm (I've developed arthritis in my low back/hip). Will this topper add enough softness?

Memory foam and real latex foam are 2 different products. Each one has very different qualities. I will only purchase real latex mattress toppers for myself. Latex can be ordered in soft, medium and firm densities. Latex stays cool, it does not capture heat like memory foam does. I can make no recommendations for memory foam.

I don't know how much softness your looking for, but you will not sink into this pad, it kind of cradles you without sinking. You may want to test any pad that your thinking of buying since the memory foam is too firm.

My mattress is very firm, but it is now beginning to sink where my touchy is and I 've had it for about five months now. Also, I spoke with a someone who has been selling mattresses for years and she stated, "People either love Tempurpedic or they hate it." I will personally not buy any memory foam (mattress, pillows) anymore. DONE!

It's quite thin and meant as more of a mattress protector than a "topper." It will not add any softness to the feel of a mattress. I think you need to shop for a topper made of a few inches if latex, memory foam, or other soft material.

I would think it would certainly add quite a bit of softness. However, it feels like jell foam pockets and it probably wouldn't fill up where it dips down and make it level. It would have to be an improvement as it was a big improvement on an old mattress.

Yes, somewhat. My foam mattress wasn't quite firm enough for us, and this fixed it.

it is soft , a sheet of memory foam where you sink in. I do not like the feel and I got a backache. Since I put a sheet of Latex foam over the memory foam, it feels better. The topper is nice and soft but does not stay in place and has to be readjusted daily. I would not buy it again.

As long as you're strong enough to shake it out every week or so, I think it should make your mattress softer. Without shaking, it will probably compact pretty quickly.

i do not know. my mattress is soft to medium feel to me. i suggest you call " all sleep" (get their ph number on their website) the company that ships it and ask. the 5 pound density usually should last up to 15 years. their ad did not list the ild. the density rating is the measure of how long before it mats down. (indentation load deflection). i just got another queen topper shipped to my youngest son in calif. about 8 years ago i bought a 6 pound density king size for my other son in calif and it is still like new to them. (from a different sleep company.) " all sleep" is good about returning your call to answer a question. they suggested putting a small bowl of apple cider vinegar on my night stand for a few days to help dissipate the foam smell and i passed the info along to my son. good luck.

I guess it depends on how prominent the bar is. I think it would greatly reduce the amount you feel the bar, even if it is really bad. I have used similar foam toppers over bad spring mattresses with super results.

This mattress topper would definitely soften the memory foam mattress, however the rigid quality of the mattress would still be a factor.

It certainly softens a firm mattress. Some comments on here said it's like sleeping on a cloud but I don't really agree with that. It may feel like that initially but it settlers down a bit after awhile. Still feels wonderful & I can't imagine sleeping without it on the bed! I will always have it on the bed.

That's what we did when the MF mattress we bought turned out to be much more firm that we expected.If you're looking for a super soft mattress topper, keep looking. This one gave only a slight improvement but,it is quite comfortable now that we're used to it.

No, you might want to look for something softer - this one makes your bed incredibly comfortable, but is too thin to fully change the characteristics of your mattress.

Our topper is on a 'firm' mattress. My husband is satisfied with the amount of 'softness' but I feel that I need more. Also, I find that the topper falls over the edge of my bed a little where I get in and out. My bed is very tall.

I think it might be. I used to also have a memory foam topper and this feel a bit firmer. It is also so much better for you- non of the toxic chemicals found in the memory foam!

yes, my old memory foam topper hurt my back, I was a little apprehensive spending so much on this but im finally waking up without any pain. it worked wonders for me

Yes, ours did too, and I could feel a spring on my hip. Don't get me wrong, this is not the perfect solution, only a seriously expensive mattress will do that! lol We have had our topper now for about 2 months or so and it is so much better! no more pain in my hip, very comfortable. But be sure to get the quality topper. Do not go for the cheaper eggshell version. Believe me it is worth it!
