I had similar issues with my roomy. I finally just bought it for the King bed and now he really likes it. I wouldn't want the drop off between us if only covering 1/2 of bed. Can't answer if it would shift. JUST BUY IT! Only 2-1/2 inches but makes a world of difference if bed is too firm. Not good for soft mattress.

I do not like firm mattresses myself ..I have a beauty rest mattress..but my back was bothering me. .I added this topper & was surprisingly pleased..It is about 3 inches thick..but it works great for me..it is hard to find a product that actually works..I love it

I'd say an 8, not the most comfortable, but it feels cooler than a foam made one. It comes compacted but it takes about 24 hours to take the perfect shape. I got this for my parents guest room, the queen size one, took on our weight very well, I see no problem for your hubby, as long as you have a firm base I guess. Good luck!

I actually purchased mine because of the reviews relating to the softness. Mine; however is incredibly firm. We cannot sleep on it. Moved it to the guest room and the guests complain that it is too firm. Our personal experience is that it caused more pain, mostly in the hips.

I'm not sure what you or the other review are talking about - mine is too firm if anything. I actually have a softer 1/2 inch pad on it. If you're having trouble with it I would call the manufacturer or Amazon. Amazon is spectacular with order issues and Brentwood is a US company which means they'd be easy to contact and deal with. Good luck with your order!

off topic a bit, but we were looking at a sleep number bed because our mattress was sagging somewhat and they claim they don't sag. Yet, I've read other reviews besides yours that after some time, they lose pressure in the hip area and then the user has to raise the sleep number setting and eventually it's at 100 and still not supporting. We liked the beds in the showroom, but this was a concern. Also that it seemed a bit high maintenance- the pumps and adjustments and their sliding scale warranty policy. thanks!

you should check the product dimensions and measure it from the floor up. thereafter, tell your husband to simulate pushing a horizontal bar from that height. If he is not comfortable, then he won't like it. some tall guys are alright. I think it might have to do with the elasticity of the shoulders or the bulkiness of the muscles.

Yes both my husband and I find the bed very comfortable and we have been sleeping on it for several months now. The firmness is level 6 which we feel is firm enough to offer good support but still feel comfortably plush. My husband also has back trouble and feels the bed has been helpful. I did a lot of research before buying and we both feel this bed is a great value.

To be honest I think either would work. It is an outstanding mattress. We have slept on it for over 6 months now I think and we adore it. Happy ZZZZZZs

You could put a twin matress down there. We actually had a loveseat under ours for a while. It just barely fit, but it was out of the way!

Medium firm. My husband likes a firm mattress and I like a medium soft mattress and we both love it.

We feel the mattress is quite firm. Recently a friend told me that it is suggested you break in this type of mattress by walking on it. This instruction did not come with our mattress but I think we may try it.

My Husband is in the 250# range. He finds the bed very comfortable and sturdy. I would call the number and ask what number would be best for your needs.

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.
