What is the ILD (Indentation Load Deflection) rating of the memory foam layer?What is the ILD (Indentation Load Deflection) rating core layer?

I have no idea. The mattress is wonderful. We have had it at least one and half years. No sign of wear and we just love the feel. Compares to temperpedic.

I weigh over 300 lbs and had the bed for several months. Have not noticed any yet. Had a $3000 name brand mattress before this one and noticed the indentations in a couple of months. Had to eventually get rid of that bed only after 3 years of use! This Dreamfoam seems to be holding up well!

I don't know...I returned it because its not worth the price. I highly recommend getting the KONG memory foam for less money. Its was nicer than this junk.

The high density foam they sent me is conventional foam. Most typical bedding companies will use low density conventional foams in their products which will have a higher propensity to break down over time. Typically lower density means lower cost and lower quality. Memory Foam is foam which is slow to recover like the Tempurpedic material. I had a Tempurpedic and I was constantly sweating as the mattresse did not breathe. Hated it. Conventional foam will recover right away and not leave an impression behind and will be much more breathable. Hope this helps.

It's a close call (and I have limited experience with Memory Foam), but I'd say "Yes". Here's why: &gt; Memory Foam presents resistance merely because of its density... but it melts away when you put pressure on it. &gt; This latex pad is quite dense, but it actually pushes back on your hand. I'd say it presents as much *material resistance* as M.F., but *pushes back* about 2-3x harder than M.F. Suggest you get the 4", though, to really feel the difference.

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.

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

It's memory foam but not the super dense kind. It's lightweight.love it for myself

Funny. This is what I got from Dan at Sleep Shop, who is "quite familiar with the manufacturing and quality control of our mattresses, since I work right here in the factory".Here is the breakdown of the layers:1. 3" Gel Infused Memory Foam Layer 3.0lb Density and 16ILD2. 1" Extra Comfort Layer is made from High Resilience Foam with 2.0lb Density and 15ILD3. 2" Ventilated Layer is made from Perforated High Resilience Foam with 2.0lb Density and 30ILD4. 7" Base Layer is made from High Resilience Foam with 2.0lb Density and 30ILD Funny.

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.

It is similar to a semi-soft dense foam when dry. Not crumbly. More like firm rubbery spongy. It does not fully "harden" like some foams do (probably a built-in safety feature to keep it from over-expanding and busting things like some of the original "expanding foams" did). Does not have any real stand-alone structural strength any more than styrofoam let's say, but will fill gaps nicely. If you were using it "sandwiched" between two sheets of plywood it would add some structural strength I should think. You may have to trim it around the edges with a razer blade or something similar after it expands and drys. Keep in mind that IT DOES !EXPAND! Your question did not give me a complete visual as to what you are trying to do/accomplish so this is the best answer I can come up with. Sorry.

It's rated in the middle range of not being too firm or too soft. The three different layers of memory foam does allow for firmness on the top layer, but allows one to sink down according to the weight of each individual part of one's body. Thus whatever position you are in when falling asleep is usually the position you wake up in. So much better than the expensive coil type mattresses I've wasted money on in the past. Plus a 25-year warranty tells one it's not going to fall apart with repeated use or acquire bad spots for excessive weight usage.

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.

Sorry, but I don't remember. I have had it on my chair at work for a few years. I still feel the support of my low back, but do not recall that it is memory foam. I am on summer break (teacher), so I can't check until September. I would guess it is NOT memory foam based on my recollection of the feel.

Memory foam density is measured from 3.0 to 5.0 or higher. Does anyone know how to answer the question?

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!
