Some of these mattresses give the softness rating as medium firm. Can one substitute another rating like med. soft?

This listing is for an prodigy adjustable base only with no mattress. Any all foam mattress will work with this adjustable. We have a nice soft gel queen mattress for around $450

I would not say that my mattress is extra firm. I slept on a 12" SureTemp at a friends house and I would say that mattress was firm, but I don't know how the firmness varies from mattress to mattress. The product description says that it is MEDIUM SOFT to MEDIUM FIRM. I would say that that is accurate.

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.

I cant comment on your numbers for most others or my own pad, but I know its working for me. The mattress I replaced with the memory foam king was a plush, so Im more inclined towards soft than you. My new mattress was too soft, and this helped a lot.

I was asked this previously and in my critique from initially purchasing same I remarked that while it does indeed look identical to what we all had before and we've used/had our for years and years (too many) this one is not the same. It is perhaps construed as medium density and/or medium firmness - in fact my husband won't even use it as it's too soft - our old king's like yours are still firm these new ones - not at all. Disappointed as we are - when time permits I will be searching for something else to replace it. Hope that helps. Best,

I'd say medium firmness to firm. Not super firm though. This is my first foam mattress. I LOVE it. It has give, along with support, that I have never gotten from a coil spring mattress. I had back surgery over 20 years ago and have ongoing chronic back and shoulder pain. For the first time in as long as I can remember, I can sleep through the night without pain and wake up feeling refreshed. Particularly when you compare the cost of this mattress to a Tempurpedic, I don't see how you can go wrong.

According to the manufacturer's web site this mattress has a medium-plush feel. That means it's not too firm or plush, but is leaning more towards the plush side.I ended up buying one that was more firm for that reason.

Both mattress' I tried started firm, but lost air and were very soft after 4-6hrs. They both needed additional inflation during the night.

"Customize, Ask Chuck" comes under style-name options and is generally selected as default. Once you select this option, they'll contact you via email to discuss the firmness of mattress that would suit you the best. The scale is 1-10 where 1 is firmest and 10 is softest.

Soft to medium. Definitely not firm according to my daughter in comparison to spring coil mattress.

Certainly I would NOT describe it as firm, but soft isn't right either. So I'll go with medium - I'm near 70, and have only used 5 or 6 mattresses in my life - this is the least firm, but I would say the most comfortable in memory. I've grown to really like it.

Medium to firm. The memory foam allows us to slowly sink into the mattress. It conforms to our individual body contours and gives firm support of the back.

Mine was not firm. I bought it because my mattress was too firm and needed something soft.

The more plush the mattress, the softer it should be. I bought this mattress almost a year ago and I don't regret it. I love this matress. I am a side sleeper too and I sleep very well. I am even so comfortable that I find myself sleeping on my back a little more.

Medium. Soft to me means you feel enveloped and like you have to dig out; this is not that. You do not sink in too much. Too firm means you do not sink in at all; this is not that. My hips sink in if I am on my side - but it has a hammock effect... I do not feel fully supported. On my back, my butt sank in but the small on my back was not fully supported. My back caved in if I tried to sleep on my stomach. Mine went from too firm to ok to body impressions and back pain within a month, but all in all, I would say it is medium.

We have had the bed for a month or 2 now. I haven't noticed any difference in the softness yet. We keep our house about 73 degrees. I would describe the bed as a soft yet supported feel. I have felt softer memory foam mattresses but I didn't really like sinking in that deep. So I guess it's just a matter of preference. Hope that helps.

God love you. Same thing happened to me. I bought the 11" memory foam. Only one person mentioned that the mattress was very firm and that was unfortunately after I purchased it. Damn thing kept getting harder, and I kept buying more foam toppers for comfort. Fortunately, my mom needed a new mattress and she has to have very firm. I gave her the hard 11" and ordered an 8" pressure relief memory foam and I love it. Feels so good to sleep on my side and not wake up hurting! So forget trying to "fix" that hard mattress and just get another one. You will quickly forget about the money you threw away! God love you. Same thing happened to me. I bought the 11" memory foam.
