Would you recommend this to someone with back problem? I'm looking for something firm

No, my bed did not maintain its firmness. It started to get soft in spots very early on. If you have real back problems you need to get a real mattress.

Tried pillows before purchasing item which helped but you need more firmness to stretch back. Also it was on sale though Amazon for 15 bucks.

It is soft but firm. I find it very comfortable, but I don't have a bad back.

My husband and I are both a bit shorter and 100# lighter, but honestly, it is so firm, I would give it a try. Its pretty darned firm. The wedge is really solid foam and then the top of the foam wedge is a 1" layer of softer foam, which makes it more comfortable and can fit our bodies better. I like it so much and I would guess it will be just fine for you. At any rate, there's a good chance it will make you happy and if it doesn't, return it. Amazon is great for that. Its worth the gamble and I suspect you will be on the winning side. Good luck!

It is not too firm...It melds into my body, so it gives me support, but is not stiff.

I think it works well for side sleepers as well as back sleepers. My interest in this mattress was its support for people with back issues (my daughter and son-in-law) and this was recommended for both back and side sleepers with back problems. So far it seems to be great for both of them. Hope this helps.

I would say yes, it is very soft, which is why I returned it. I was looking for something a little firmer. On a firmness level I would rate this a 4-10

The mattress is a soft medium...very comfortable, but I haven't slept an entire night on it yet, so I'm not sure how my back will hold up. You might want to look at some other options, because it is definitely not firm.

I've had mine for only a couple of months now but it's very firm which I figured a low end mattress would lose the firmness faster so ill deal with it until then. Its comfy but stiff. And it is not foamy has a little spring bounce. For the price I'm happy. Back has started to feel better since I got it. My okd one was a soft thin cheap pillow top that sunk in two years

Hi, the answer is not very. I was looking for a much firmer pillow. However, if you are looking for one that is not, this is the pillow for you. Best.

Its a bit more firm than a pillow top mattress, but I did put on a padded mattress cover and it softened it up a bit. Very supportive mattress, I have a bad back and this is by far the best mattress I have ever slept on.

It depends on what type of firmness you r looking for. It is pretty good for the price. I was having neck problems because I am a right side sleeper I decided to purchase. It will last about a year. I am getting ready to purchase another one.

It's fairly firm, yes. I'm also a side sleeper and it works very well for me.

I can't make any promises, Patricia. In the case of my own mattress it didn't appear to be sagging, but I could feel it when I would lay down on it. If your side is sunk in as you say, this memory foam topper may not give you all the support that you need. It might make it somewhat better, but then again it might not provide all the improvement that you need. You might be better off applying the cost of the topper towards a new mattress.

I am pleased with the firmness of the back, it's adjustable too, and the support it gives me. I have only used it on gym bleacher seats so far and have been grateful by the end of the tournament that I had it. I would not be able to answer for you on how much support you would need but I would recommend this chair!!

It's not soft as normal mattress. That's the reason I got this one. I had been searching for a mattress that is firm enough to relieve my back pain. I used to get a platform made of several pieces of hard wood and put a comforter (made of cotton) on it. That was very firm and sometimes can be a little bit uncomfortable. This one is thick with good balance between softness and firmness. When it came, it was a little bit too puffy that I thought. But it gets better after some days. It is stuffed with cottons and very heavy. I'm satisfied with the quality of this mattress and would recommend to anyone who is looking for a mattress that is good to your back.

My husband and I have been sleeping on this mattress for a few years now and we absolutely love it! So much, that we have recommended it to multiple friends and family memebers who have all (5 families) purchased this particular mattress and have also had great experiences with it. I don't find myself getting hot or cold during the night. It is more firm than other foam mattresses out there, but I need that for my low back pain. I can report that my back has been pain free since sleeping on this mattress because of the support and comfort it offers. I no longer toss and turn during the night and I wake up feeling well rested. My husband and I have been sleeping on this mattress for a few years now and we absolutely love it!
