how soft is this foam? I'd like to use it as a replacement dog bed insert.

harder than that. It's quite firm, which is perfect for the (human occupied) seat I used it on....

Yes....It is a long piece of foam....orthopedic foam. All my dogs love it and prefer it to my own bed.

I only slept on it a couple of times, but it's definitely more firm than soft. Hope that helps.

My two dogs that total right at 200 lbs total both sleep on it. I am not sure how it will stand the test of time..but after about a month I am not seeing indentations on the foam or anything...I am very pleased with the bed and considering buying one for my younger grandbabies when they come over as they love to lay on it with the dogs anyway.

It is a very dense foam. It is firm, but has a bit of compressibility, if that makes any sense.

It was soft as a foam mattress so it might be a lil too squishy. I set min on top instead of using a foam topper.

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.

Tough question to answer. I got this bed for my dog after he started having hip problems... I actually ended up having his hip replaced. He's 9 years old and absolutely loves the bed, so much so I bought another one to place in a different part of the house. The bed is a mix between firm and soft. Its actually similar to a temperpedic (sp) bed for humans. He doesn't seem to have trouble getting off of it, but it may be a bit soft for your dog if she has balance issues. Long story short, I would buy it and check it out... I've recommended the bed to a few of my friends who have dogs and they all love it as well. I hope that helps. Tough question to answer.

I cant comment on your numbers for most others or my own pad, but I know its working for me. The mattress I replaced with the memory foam king was a plush, so Im more inclined towards soft than you. My new mattress was too soft, and this helped a lot.

It's like mattress foam. Very sturdy very nice works very well for my small dogs to get up on my bed

It's stiff and supportive. Makes a great bed with a pad and a foam mattress but for me softer is better. Should work for you. These are very well made.

It's a very comfortable bed I love it. All my friends say something about how nice it is and foam is somewhat dense but it is a soft bed. And holds like 325 at least for my husband and I weight combined. I am very happy with this bed.

It is probably a good three to four inches thick and extremely soft. The only draw back I can see is it is white so I tuck a small throw over the cushion to keep it clean. My cocker spaniel absolutely loves it as she can stretch out in it or curl up, whichever she wants to do. I have two, one upstairs and one downstairs. I highly recommend this bed.

I have several memory foam items and this seems to be like them. But not as dense, because your hand print won't stay in it after you press on as long as say, my memory foam mattress topper. It's comfortable enough. Hope that helped.

The foam is calibrated for big dogs (Labs, Boxers, all the way up to Great Danes) that have a good amount of weight per square inch. When a big dog lays on this foam, they'll slightly sink into the top level of Comfort Foam and be fully supported by the middle layer of Support Foam. The Comfort Layer will mold around their joints and feel very, very comfortable. A small dog (Beagle, Boston Terrier, etc) is too light to sink into the top layer of Comfort Foam. It would feel stiff to a smaller dog, but comfortable to a bigger dog.

It's a much different feel than memory foam. I have purchased two on Amazon, not from this particular vendor. Both of them came with covers. I absolutely love sleeping on it. Difficult to say whether the feel is softer or firmer than memory foam. Don't worry about it being too firm, not the case at all. We bought king size for our bed and it is heavy. Initially getting it unpackaged and set up is easier with two people. The second one we purchased was for my 80 year old mother, she says it feels like heaven.

While I wouldn't characterize this foam mattress pad as firm, it is also not soft and/or unsupportive. If you haven't tried a foam-type mattress, you should go to a mattress store and lay on one for 5-10 minutes so you have an idea of what foam does. The pad does an excellent job of providing comfort; it supports without being overly firm in the sense of a traditional coil-type mattress. Tough to quantify!
