People are commenting here on memory foam, but this is latex foam matterss, right? How soft/firm is it?

There seems to be a top layer of latex, resting on a bottom layer of memory foam. I have only slept on it a few times, and I have a nice memory foam topper on top of it for now because I'm pregnant and sleep on my side and there's nowhere else to store the topper. However, before I put the topper on it I tried it out while awake. The feel is firm, but not hard. You don't sink in like you would with a memory foam mattress. However, you also don't get the feeling of something pushing back into you and digging in, like you might with an inner coil mattress. Some dense foam mattresses have felt "hard" to me. This one just feels firm and supportive-- not plush. It is almost like what you would expect an air mattress to be if the air mattress were impossibly perfectly super-full and taut-- but it has a little more give or "sink" than that. Also, I am told that in several weeks it will soften just a bit, then stay that way, and it will feel less firm than synthetic latex (it is natural latex). As a final note, I have noticed that people really vary in their perception of what is "firm" versus "soft." I would call this definitely firm, but far from extreme.

I have a platform bed and this mattress feels fine on it. I was also concerned about this before purchase and called Sleep-EZ on the phone. They said it should be fine but after a few weeks of getting used to latex, if I felt like I more cushioning was needed between the mattress and the platform, a simple solution would just be to purchase regular poly foam to put between platform and bottom of mattress as it would not change the "feel" of the latex and only add thickness between mattress and platform. Sounds like a good plan to me if the need arises.

This is not memory foam. It's latex. Big difference. I own two of these toppers, one is 2" and the other is 3". They are very soft, which is what I bought them for. I don't like hard surface mattresses. We have two memory foam mattresses and they are both two firm for my liking, so I use the toppers. Very satisfied. The other reason I like them is that they are a natural product. Covers are available from the company. Not very heavy to move. Just roll it up and carry it.

Personally, I think it's a nice cushion. I would say it's a little softer than memory foam. The gel is there to keep it more cooler than regular memory foam since that sometimes tends to soak in the heat and sweat. I absolutely love this purchase.

Not 100% Dunlap Rubber latex.......just set it up today....seemed smaller/thinner then we thought.....haven't slept on it yet????? Time/Days will tell....we have a 100% rubber latex that is from 1995 and the blend was not available....but to this day everyone who sleeps on it says it is the greatest mattress ever...(in our guest room).....

It's on the softer side. If you like your bed really comfy this is the Memory Foam to get!

One benefit of latex/foam is that movement on side of be d doesn't effect other side. Have them try your bed!

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!

No, it is terribly flat and molds to your head. Advice; do not buy a memory foam pillow. Latex is MUCH better.

Oh please don't ask me as I sent mine back and never ordered again. It's merely foam, no support nor comfort it is not what it states, reason for my return. See handprint? Yeah, well don't expect it to come up as it's merely foam not memory foam, read on memory foam it must contain viscose, this doesn't nor do many now advertising as memory foam. Just use search on memory foam, not to any site but contents. Good Luck! I bought 4 before getting one that helped, as my prior, which lasted 9 years. It was true memory foam

I wanted to add that you should base your purchase on the firmness you desire...it is VERY firm for a foam mattress. We returned ours.

Our memory foam feels soft to us but was semi hard when we got it. So it has softened up. I have been dead set against memory form after trying memory foam mattresses in a store. I would get on the bed and have to fight my way out of the ditch my body made. I feel the Lucid is soft now but doing its job. It seems to let me roll out easier than a full foam mattress. The three inch should make your mattress softer after about a week. I love ours now. Check to see if it can be returned if you are not satisfied and remember mine is on a fabric mattress. It takes a few days to fill out after you open it. Our memory foam feels soft to us but was semi hard when we got it. So it has softened up.

I'm a 195lb man, and even though 5.5 should be rather firm, I found it to be much too soft for my liking. (I was looking for something firm.) I had a 4" memory foam topper from my previous spring mattress that I put on top of this though, and it feels much better (firm) now. I'd say if you want something you can sink into a bit, this would be right up your alley.

If you need something firm I would not recommend any memory foam. Memory foam it is by nature not firm, but the opposite, it molds to your shape. Sounds like a spring-based mattress would be more appropriate for you.

The whole thing is memory foam, but I wouldn't say it's as soft as my tempurpedic pillow. I use it with other pillows. Not sure I could sleep on it by itself.

Definitely firmer than a memory foam mattress. I am not a fan of memory foam as I constantly feel like I am sinking into the mattress. The tuft and needle 10 that we bought is definitely more firm. We prefer firmer mattresses and have been very happy with our purchase. I'd give it a 7 on a scale of 1 to 10 of firmness.

It does appear to be 100% memory foam. I found that I have to use one of those small neck rolls along with the wedge, or to hang my head off the high end of the wedge to feel correct neck support. Can't say much about the hardness of those regular wedges. Please, consider that this wedge may give off a chemical odor. I don't like mine for that reason. Maybe time will fix that.
