I haven't seen any where about the weight of a person &amp; the thickness you need to buy. Is that an issue?

Mary, I am 47, weigh in at about 210 with a height of 5'8" I have a medium torso with very thick thighs and buttocks. so far the 3" version has abeen a godsend, allowing me many peaceful nights while camping in my TT. prior to buying this I would wake up with a stiff spot in my lower back from god knows which of the many of "prior injuries" I have suffered over the years. needless to say I highly reccomend this, but from what I have seen it is really divided, those that it helpeld and those it did not. for me it works great I cannot comment on any thing else other than you should make a cover that fits it to keep the foam from tearing, and it does retain body heat. These are the only issues I have with it. it does rip easily when being moved. and in the summer it can be a little warm. other that thes issues it is great for my back as i wake up good to go each morning. It actually beats out my top of the line sealy that i use in the sticks ands bricks. cheers. ken morgan

hmm this is at my Mom's. I didn't bother measuring it. Are you referrng to the same item? I was expecting that if it says X, then that's what it would be. When I go there again, I will measure it for you, but will say that some of the negative comments I read was not what I found. I find it safe and sturdy for her and that was most important to me. I wish it was a bit lower.

Don't know but have someone in the household who weighs about 260-270 and there is no problem

The only thing I can suggest is to check the weight and dimensions of the two and see. If they're the same, I'd say it's just the sort of price difference I notice in some products in Amazon that I can't explain... and I buy the cheaper. If different, it's likely in thickness, layers or length/width.

I have this item which I paid $70 for but could not use. It is very comfortable but not for a tall skinny guy. I will gladly see you this item for $50-used for 1/2 a block(essentially a trial to see if it was for me) If interested email me at DrCPsychman@aol.com and I'll ship it to you UPS.

I would guess at least two hundred pounds, it's very study. Check the measurement of the width, that could be a problem for a bigger person.

Sorry that I cant help you with the question, I would contact customers service to get exactly the weight otherwise I would be guessing.

There are weight requirements...not sure if he weighs enough. You'd need to read/ask the manufacturer. The one I bought is at my Mom's so I can not look at the booklet. Works GREAT for someone weighing 114#.

I don't think there is a major issue on weight with the unit I purchased. Get in with my grandson and estimate total weight is 250+ between us and there is not an issue. I will say this, compared to the units I saw in the typical store this one is solid wood and very well constructed. Assembly was a breeze with my son in law helping.

That info is not included in any of the info that came with it, sorry. The MOST DENSE one I found in my pre-purchase shopping was for sale at Macy's, and the incorporated cover is a blue weave, like the one section in the photo of THIS product. It was available in either 1.5 or 3 inch versions, the thicker one was offered for close to $600, and on a "one day sale" you could get it for 50% off, but even THAT was more than I wanted to spend, and too close to the price of a new mattress for me! But if you want the DENSE-EST gel, check that one out...it may even be on Macy's website, not sure. Good Luck! That info is not included in any of the info that came with it, sorry.

I found the 2 inch worked for me to a point. I found that the bede under must be reasonably firm. Thickness depends on the size of the person.

I am 200 lbs. and I have used mine daily for the last 6 months or more and it is doing great, I cannot tell any difference from brand new.Also it appears to be the right amount of softness for my weight because I can feel the "give" in it as it conforms to my body the way they say it is supposed to in the book, if it ever wears out or if anything ever happens to it I will get another just like it.

not a problem. two people have slept on mine and each of them weighed 150 to 180 lbs.

I used a tape measure... Weight isn't always accurate; I've found. Build/measurement is more important.

A good base maybe sinc it is very thick & heavy. By base, i mean it should be something sturdy enough to hold the weight of both the mattress and the person using it. CBag is right, platform frame or slats are good options.
