If you are a back sleeper it might be enough. I'm a side sleeper with a really firm mattress. I'm around 140lbs and it's not enough softness for me. My hips still hurt. It compresses a lot and is only about an inch thick to start with.

It certainly softens a firm mattress. Some comments on here said it's like sleeping on a cloud but I don't really agree with that. It may feel like that initially but it settlers down a bit after awhile. Still feels wonderful & I can't imagine sleeping without it on the bed! I will always have it on the bed.

I have a really firm mattress and I'm a back sleeper and husband is a side sleeper and this was not enough for either of us. It's quit thin and compresses to be nearly non existent

No, you might want to look for something softer - this one makes your bed incredibly comfortable, but is too thin to fully change the characteristics of your mattress.

This one is soft, it's been awhile since I had mines, it wasn't firm enough, it was to soft to me, I like mines firm like a travel neck pillow to support my neck, I had to stuff more crap unit to make it firm, to soft to me, you can take some stuffing out to better suit your needs..

Yes- my full size mattress is a pillow top and the topper added a great deal of firmness to it. It is not as firm as a hard matress but I didn't want hard mattress. I find it immensely comfortable - really a pleasure to receive a product that more than lived up to its product details. It is heavy though so if you order it, it may be a little awkward to manuveur it yourself. I hope this answers your question.

I don't think so - it is very soft. My husband and I purchased this for that very purpose. We unwrapped it, put a mattress cover on it, put it on our bed and laid on it. Immediate back pain for both of us. We laid there about 5 minutes and it just got worse. So we returned it. Minus a huge restocking fee. And less than pleasant customer service.

Its a bit more firm than a pillow top mattress, but I did put on a padded mattress cover and it softened it up a bit. Very supportive mattress, I have a bad back and this is by far the best mattress I have ever slept on.

My experience tells me that it is a soft initial firmness with a deeper firmness under the top layer. So, firm with a soft pillow feel.

We bought a mattress similar to what you describe and it had several layers of memory foam on the top. It was not firm enough for us, We turned it over and it is much better. We also bought the foam you mention. I already answered that it wasn't as firm as we were led to believe. Our piece had no cover,cracked easily when rolled up. Both our purchases were from Amazon but to send these products back just is not worth the effort. They are not typical of the many things we have bought from Amazon. My conclusion to answer your question is " it wouldn't be firm enough for us".

Yes, I think it is a bit too firm for my baby, too. Agreed--firm is necessary for safety--but we have found she seems to sleep more soundly on the (toxic chemical-infused, not-at-all-green) crib mattresses at each of our parents' houses, and those are both much softer. Any ideas for softening it up?

Unless you really want the two part answer, I'll just answer the second part: No, it won't help to soften a too-firm mattress.

I think it feels like a pillow top. It turned my 20-year mattress into a soft, fluffy cloud!

It's supportive but I would not call it firm. In fact we bought it for my daughters bed because she complained it was too firm of a mattress. She is now much more comfortable with the topper.

For this particular pillow, I thought that it only came in soft. Does yours look like the one pictured? Yours should feel like a memory foam. If not, or if you just don't like it, then I'd look into returning/exchanging it. Good luck!

The pillow top is just a quilted pad that attaches to the mattress just like any typical mattress. I've used them on regular mattress to get a little extra softness. This pillow top does make it a bit softer but I would bet you could find better options if you want a really soft top. If they are designed to fit a queen size mattress then it should fit the air mattress. I still would check measurements just to be sure. I hope this helps!!

That's what we did when the MF mattress we bought turned out to be much more firm that we expected.If you're looking for a super soft mattress topper, keep looking. This one gave only a slight improvement but,it is quite comfortable now that we're used to it.

I wouldn´t say it provides firm support. It makes the top layer softer. If your mattress is too hard on top this product will make it softer. The firmness depends on the rest of the support (your mattress).

It's fairly firm, I would recommend you go down to a mattress store and lay down on one of their memory foam mattresses. That is the firmness of that type of mattress.

Yes, I agree that it feels firm, but not in a rock-hard way. You can feel it begin to conform to you. If you don't like firmness, try softening with a mattress pad that is lofty, or a pillow top, or a feather bed.
