I need a med-firm to firm mattress due to a bad back; would you recommend this mattress? I'm looking for a pillow top rather than memory foam

This is a good bed for a person who have a bad back. The bed is not that soft and it's not even too hard.

In my Opinion this bed has good support but definitely more on the plush side (not firm)!

No I would not because the mattress is too soft.. It causes mine as well as my husband back to hurt. .If you are having back problems you should consider purchasing a firmer mattress. .

If you are comfortable on a slightly more than medium firmness inner spring, than my guess is the memory form should be fine. Go try a med firm memory foam at a mattress store, it's a free way to see it you would even like foam mattresses. We like ours...

definitely ... we took our old queen mattress to the salvation army and we put our lucid on our good box springs.... sleep like a dream we are so happy with it ...you dont wake up with back aches and pains like you do with a regular mattress. we checked out all the mattresses regular, pillowtop ,memory foams, chill foams and whatever else they have at the stores and for the money the lucid is right up there with that top advertizing memory foam we all see on tv. put it on your box springs you will be very happy. ps. you wont spill a glass of wine on it it does every thing that top advertizer does at 1/5 the cost.

well, when my husband and i first laid down, it was awesome! and it was great when lying on my back and watching tv....but i think it was just too soft, BUT - that being said, we have a tempurpedic mattress already. so i think if it was on a regular mattress, it would have been perfect - but the mushy top with the mushy tempurpedic just didn't work.

Not very. I'm having major low-back problems when I wake up. I'm looking for a way to make it feel firmer or else I'll have to find a firmer one. Good luck!

I bought the dream foam mattress in the 10 inch version. I have a cranky back and find it difficult to get comfortable. This mattress did the trick for me. I would call it medium firm With just enough give for sleeping on your side. Its wonderful.

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.

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.

I put on top of my old mattress, and it worked great!I don't have a memory foam or a pillow top, but I think it will make it feel firmer.

I would say a good combination of firm and medium. It's not too firm where you feel like you're snuggling a hard memory foam pillow, but it's not too soft where if you throw your leg over it that it squishes down to nothing. I bought because of spinal surgery. I would suggest to get a cover for it because it is not a soft feeling case it's in.

it's pretty firm - but it's memory foam - so you sink in a little. i really like mine, and i generally like a firmer mattress.

We bought the sleep master 6 inch smooth top therapeutic memory foam mattress and it's worked out great! It does have an odor when you take out out if the packaging so I recommend airing it out.

i wouldn't say "firm". My wife loves soft top mattresses. I love firm. It features a pillow top that is just right for the two of us. Really great deal for the price too. Don't be alarmed when you see the box it ships in though- ours was folded and rolled into a 1'x1'x4 ft box and vacuum sealed. it turned out to be our favourite mattress so far. We've had it for about two months now and its held up so far, no change since the day we unboxed it.

You can actually order this mattress in any size from twin to full to queen. The prices vary depending on the size you order. Everyone is saying it is firm, but all memory foam mattresses feel firm, but as you lie on it, the mattresses contour to fit your body, and more or less cradle you. This mattress is WONDERFUL if you have a bad back or are large and need the extra support. This is a HUGE value for the money

I use mine as decorative bed pillows, however it seems pretty firm. I would still consider getting a firmer pillow, specifically noted for lumbar support.

If you like a softer pillow it may not be for you. It is fairly firm, especially at first. When I first got it I only slept on it half the night for about a week until I broke it in. I would call it medium firm but not so much soft. My dad who LOVES a softer pillow hates this pillow so if you want soft this may not be the one for you. If you want firm it may not be the one for you. Like Goldie Locks found out...It was just right for me (I like medium in the middle of soft and firm)

It's fairly firm, I would recommend you go down to a mattress store and lay down on one of their memory foam mattresses. That is the firmness of that type of mattress.
