We do not want too firm of a mattress, but have heard that we should purchase a mattress with 5 lb density. What is the difference?

Not sure. I was very hesitant to buy this but am so glad I did. I saved thousands from what I was willing to spend. I was a little firm at first but now is perfect .

i do not know. my mattress is soft to medium feel to me. i suggest you call " all sleep" (get their ph number on their website) the company that ships it and ask. the 5 pound density usually should last up to 15 years. their ad did not list the ild. the density rating is the measure of how long before it mats down. (indentation load deflection). i just got another queen topper shipped to my youngest son in calif. about 8 years ago i bought a 6 pound density king size for my other son in calif and it is still like new to them. (from a different sleep company.) " all sleep" is good about returning your call to answer a question. they suggested putting a small bowl of apple cider vinegar on my night stand for a few days to help dissipate the foam smell and i passed the info along to my son. good luck.

Hard to say because I have a bad back but I did have to have it fixed or so called. I really dont suggest the 4 pound. 5 pound density would be much better

It's going to depend on your definition of too firm. I don't think it's especially firm, but it's not soft and squishy either. I got the thicker version, but you might want to go with the thin version.

This mattress is med-soft NOT firm. My neck would hurt every morning from sinking into the mattress If you want firm you will need to get one that has 4lb's of memory foam. Its NOT the amount (inches) of foam but the pounds per inches.

This 15.5 is pretty firm, but not like a traditional style mattress not like a rock. I they offer different thicknesses which are softer, please be aware the 15.5 is hard and costly to get sheets for you really need the 24" sheets for this bed

According to their website, the memory foam layer has a density of 5 lb. http://dynastymattress.ecrater.com/help.php

The density is high enough that you barely sink in. This mattress is very firm I personally love it.

We used a box spring for our mattress. I have found the mattress that we purchased did not hold it's shape, as soon as you get into the bed you sink into the same spot you laid in the prior night as the many nights before that, do good research on this mattress, I tried to return mine after a year and was told that there was no warranty on the mattress, which was a surprise as I thought there was a 5 year warranty. DO your research before purchasing.... Not happy with the mattress that we purchased at all.

To be honest I am not sure it says 5.5 when I was doing my research it appeared to be at a high density, Here is the thing, I have had mine for a while now. It still maintains its structure, there are no low spots, it feels the same as it did when it was new. You will not regret this and do not be fooled by the low price it is a great mattress.

I have really bad lower back pain also - this particular mattress is VERY firm - for me personally a little too firm and not enough cushion for my hips (side sleeper) and shoulder so we just ordered and got yesterday a 3in mattress topper with a 4lb density which seemed to really help - my husband loves the firm mattress and had no complaints. If this is too firm you might look at the 14 inch from innovations - apparently that one is a bit softer.

I could be way off here, but all I can go on is my own experience. The firmness seems to be a function much more of the mattress than of the box spring. My own experience was that the only difference I noticed was a decided change in stability that no doubt came from the fact that the old box spring was pretty run down. But I did not change the mattress and thus did not notice any great difference in the feel of the bed while I slept. I'd strongly suggest waiting for more responses, though, to see whether mine was representative.

I don't know what the pound density is. All I know is that it gave both my wife and I back problems and we had to stop using the topper. We think it was a total waste of money.

I believe that the 5.5 is the density..... 5.5 pounds per sq. inch, tho' I'm not sure about that. Whatever, it is a fairly firm memory foam, tho' very comfortable to sleep on. I have no problems with my back or hips hurting anymore from pressure points. My only dislike is that I bought the 4" thick topper, and I find that it shifts on the bed, even with a mattress cover to hold it in place. Other than that, I have no complaints. It's a terrific buy!

I prefer a firm mattress and as long as this is used on a floor either carpeted or not; I personally find it very comfortable and wake up every single time thinking I am in my bed. When first squeezed with your hands you would not think it is firm however the floor and weight distribution surprisingly ends up very stable and comfortable. Hope that helps!

It's more dense than a regular mattress but less dense than the temurpedic I own, that's the best I can answer this....sorry,

This mattress has a firm base. It's pretty firm but not too thin. I've also discovered that regular changing pad covers fit this mattress - made life a lot easier b/c otherwise it's hard to find nice sheets to fit the co-sleeper.
