what is the density of the foam layer? i'm told that people with bad backs should have at least a 4lb density foam.

The foam is very dense, doesn't look very thick when you first open the package. Let it fluff according to directions. I was having trouble sleeping due to hip and back pain before and have not had pain since I got mine. I love it so much I got a second one for our travel trailer bed. It is awesome! Love mine! Would not be without it now! It conforms to your body and gives you awesome support!

I don't know the density, but my wife has steel rods in her back and she loves the topper. My daughter also has severe back problems and loves it as well. We have ordered this topper three times now ( one for each bed) with no problems. The oldest one is about a year old and is holding up very well, still sleeps as good as the first night.

I've tried this out on a hard floor; it's definitely not an adequate mattress by itself. I think 8 inches is about the minimum thickness for a memory foam mattress.IMO, the minimum density for a stand-alone mattress should be 5lb/cu.ft. I think this product is 3lb/cu.ft. The lower density means a shorter life-span and a softer feel.IMO, the perfect memory foam bed consists of an 8 inch thick 5lb/cu.ft. density base with a 3 inch thick 3lb/cu.ft. top.If I may recommend a topper...

Each of the 3 layers were a little over 2.0 lbs/ft3 . The foam itself appeared to be a high density well made foam.

Enough for what? It's high density foam so it is pretty dense and supportive. Both of my dogs are roughly 60 lbs each and seem very content with the padding.

I would say medium. If you haven't had a foam mattress before it takes some getting used to when you sit on the edge as it sinks in and feels soft but when you lay on it the weight is distributed and doesn't feel as soft.

It depends. The density of the foam is paramount. How dense a pad you need is dependent on your weight. The more you weigh the more dense the foam should be. If I remember correctly there is a chart for this on the DreamFoam website. If you get a too dense foam for your weight you will not have gained anything. In my case I tried to compromise but it is still a little too hard for my wife. Works ok but not perfect. we use it in our camper.

4 lbs is the density of the foam. Please let us know if you have any more questions.

This foam pad is at least 4 inches thick and firm enough to support 200 lbs without sinking in.However it is not hard feeling . I have fibro myalgia and it provides a very comfortable sleeping experience. Hope this helps.

I have no idea how you measure the density but I bought 4 of the 2" mattress pads and am well pleased. Two of the mattresses were old and I thought I would have to replace them but the foam pads make the mattresses firmer and comfortable. I hope this helps.

I think the foam is fairly dense. I don't sink in too far; it does not become hammock like. Nor is it so firm that it is like sleeping on a board. We use it on a futon (extra bed) with a metal frame, and you cannot feel the metal bar of the frame when lying down. We use it to lie on, not sit, and for that purpose it is great.

I am not sure of density of it, all I know it is pretty supportive and firm, but not hard. It is very comfortable.

The manufacturers website lists it as 5lb density with 20 ILD for the memory foam comfort layer, the support layer is listed at 1.8lb density with 36 ILD.

Sorry, I checked the tags and didn't see a density rating. It is kind of squishy, but have found it to be very comfortable and worth the price.

From what I understand about the density it's from 1-5, 5 being the firmest. This mattress is a 4.

I don't know the density. But I concur with the comfort of this mattress. Worth every penny and then some.

I wish I could make this answer anonymous, but I weigh well over 300 lbs. I've owned my Spine-Works for about 3 years, and use it every few weeks. It has never shown any signs of stress, or made creaking sounds, or sagged under me, or in any way suggested it couldn't handle someone much heavier than I am. From my experience, I'd say a person weighing 400 lbs shouldn't have any problem, unless the manufacturer has made changes that reduced the structural stability of more recent Spine-Worx boards. Unlike most of the plastic products on the market, the Spine-Worx board is well made and meant to last a lifetime. If anything on my Spine-Worx board ever breaks, or wears out, I will be shocked.
