I bought the 12" Gel Swirl from Sleep Innovations and it was hard as a morgue slab.. I want something soft but supportive. How soft is this thing?

It's very firm. I sleep on it ok though. My 280 lb husband husband loves it. I may try getting a mattress topper soon though.

The Sleep Innovations 14-inch Memory Foam Mattress that I bought is very comfortable, soft but very supportive.

Sleep Innovations really only offers the one level of firmness and it's pretty firm. I read through a lot of the reviews and went with the 12 inch and got the Full Size 3 Inch Thick, 4 Pound Density Visco Elastic Memory Foam Mattress Pad Bed Topper by Memory Foam Solutions to go with it. The combination makes for an extremely soft bed and still keeps you at a very low price.

Bed is very soft and comfortable, exactly as expected in a memory foam mattress, I've only had it a few weeks now, but so far very pleased with it

I see you got some mixed results! The top of the mattress is quite soft, giving it an initial cushy feel, but the mattress is quit firm. I would agree with the "supportive" answer. Beware, the first week I got this mattress it was difficult to get out of bed, that's how awesome it is.

Im 235 and its too soft for me. I just sold mine for $100 because my back started to hurt. I tried to contact customer service first, but they won't do anything for you until the mattress starts to sag over 1". I did purchase a great mattress from Costco thought, being Costco, I can return/exchange it at any time for any reason. Its a firm luxury and I am sleeping well now. My wife is 125, she was fine with the Lucid.

It is a VERY squishy mattress. Like sleeping on a marshmallow. I Even roll of edges trying to sit. Who ever says they are firm may work for the manufacturer. I am a 6' 200lbs man.

So I had an old Serta mattress. I had a 3" Lucid already on that. This new one I just piled on top. I have no back pain and sleep through the night. I have to believe it will definitely isolate as it's very solid and supportive. Funny thing is that it feels too firm, but, it's not. I'm 6'4" and 205 lbs and really sleep better now.

It's pretty firm. My husband and I have talked about taking some stuffing out. I thought after a few months now that it would soften up, but no luck. It's hard for me to use on my head because many times I turn on my stomach, but it's great for me to sleep with on my side like in the product picture.

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

I'm assuming you are after firmness, which this is not.It's not firm nor is it soft. My wife loves it and she sleeps better and says it keeps her warmer on cool evenings.

The mattress is a soft medium...very comfortable, but I haven't slept an entire night on it yet, so I'm not sure how my back will hold up. You might want to look at some other options, because it is definitely not firm.

The pillow is pretty thick and hard...too hard for me. I have never used it and have been wanting to sell it on Craigs List. I have had neck surgery and have always liked using a thin down pillow that I could bunch up under my neck for support where I needed it. Want to buy my pillow at a good price?

I got the 11 inch because of the "gel-infused" layer. The mattress was for my daughter but she is a "furnace" and the gel layer seems to help her sleep cooler. The foam technology seems to sleep warmer than traditional mattresses.

Mine feels quite soft. I find it very comfortable. Firmness is relative and subjective though and I don't know what your original feels like.

I believe this mattress to be medium in firmness. I weigh around 320lbs and it works well enough... could be a little more firm, but is much better than my old coil-spring mattress (no more stiff joints and back pain). If I had to do it again, I would probably purchase an 8-10 inch foam mattress... less material to compress (sink into) for someone my size. I also purchased a proper base for this mattress as well. It could be a little more firm for my preference, but I'd give it an 8.5 out of 10. Other than that, it's great.

The main difference is that the gel swirl has temperature control so it doesn't get hot in the summer. You can call Sleep Innovations directly for your firmness question. I know they are both about the same firmness. The Sure Temp ships faster. (I'm waiting for my Gel Swirl)

We have a Ashley Sleep New Castle Beach gel memory foam. It's about 12 inches thick and works well.

If you like a softer pillow it may not be for you. It is fairly firm, especially at first. When I first got it I only slept on it half the night for about a week until I broke it in. I would call it medium firm but not so much soft. My dad who LOVES a softer pillow hates this pillow so if you want soft this may not be the one for you. If you want firm it may not be the one for you. Like Goldie Locks found out...It was just right for me (I like medium in the middle of soft and firm)
