Does the 5.5 refer to the density of the memory foam layer?

doesn't seem to be.. looks like a model or a number, as the foam is softer.. see item description

The density is firm, with memory foam 8" thick. We purchased this for our granddaugher (5 yrs) and it is a wonderful bed.

It measures exactly 8 inches thick. I would assume that the 5.5 density is for the "give" when you lay down on it and it sinks some. We have this for our 3 year old and am really happy with it. I too have slept on it and and liked it.

Don't know the actual density, but didn't compress much when slept on. Was nice but not as thick as I thought it should be for the price. Hope this helps!

I honestly couldn't say what the density is. I've not been able to find any information Regarding foam density of this mattress. However, it is a firm mattress for me, but I'm 6'2" 170 lbs.

I am not sure but it appears that the 2.5 model has a layer of material that is made up as small columns which collapse when weight is applied. That seems to be intended for reducing pressure on your bottom. I have only purchased the one so I cannot give you a comparison from personal experience.

I do not know about the densities but I do know that only the top 3 inches are memory foam according to the manufacturer's tag on the bed the rest of the bed is composed of polyurethane foam however they manufacture it (ie foam to air ratio) to get different "types" it is all made of the same polyurethane material according to the manufacturer's tag 23% is memory foam (23% of 13 in = 3 in) 77 is polyurethane but that said that is the most comfortable bed ever

I think it refers to the density of the foam, but I'm not sure. We bought ours to go over the cheap mattress that came with our travel trailer. The mattress was ridiculously uncomfortable, the mattress topper made a world of difference!

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...

I don't know what pound density the 3.3 is. I got all my information on the Cloud 9 memory foam toppers by emailing them through their website, cloud9mattresscompany.com. All they told me was the 3.3 was the softest and the one with 5 in the name is the most dense of the three they sell.

California memory foam is what they call it. I'd say its light years ahead of old school foam, but it's not as form saving as the ultra modern, expensive ones either. Reasonable compromise.

Density relates to how tightly the foam is per square inch. It actually relates to how much the foam mooshes when you lay on it. The higher the density the more resistance to weight. Think of sitting on a cheap foam pad on a chair. It would flatten easily and you would feel the surface below it quite quickly. A dense foam pad would keep you above the hard board. My understanding the higher the foam density the longer it will provide the cushioned sleep you want. If you and your partner are large people you should be concerned with both depth of the matress as well as density of the foam. However if the density is too great it may not have the "coosh" you would expect. Non scientific answer but the best I can do

According to the product specs on Amazon it has a density of 1.4 with a 33 lb. compression rate. This is a medium density foam. It was a bit more firm than I expected for a couch cushion.

Yes you can use a 5 or 6 " memory foam mattress. I used a 6" mattress it works just fine.

I know this was asked a while ago, but I emailed the seller after I received the mattress (which, I have only been sleeping on for two days but am very happy with so far). They emailed back that the 7-inch base layer of high-density foam is a 4lb density... not sure about the others, but the base layer is most important when determining the overall durability, comfort, etc. I consider 4lb to be perfect for me, as that is on the medium-firm side.

I don't have the density but I can tell you this mattress is slightly firmer than the Tempur models. Very good to sleep on though.
