How thick is this topper? Does it provide extra padding/support to a regular mattress?

It's about an inch thick. Doesn't seem like much, but it has helped my back a lot due to my five-year mattress that has lost its shape. A definite improvement. I place it on the mattress, then cover it with a protective lining ( I have pets) prior to placing my sheets down.

It adds extra padding, now that i have had mine a while i would say it has settled in at about 2 inches of added padding. I am not sure what you mean by support, it is much softer than any mattress I have ever owned so to me it helps to add a bit of cushion. It made my very firm memory foam mattress much more tolerable for me.

It is probably around 2 inches. It definitely provides extra padding but I don't know that I would call it support.

I purchased with an extra thick mattress and it is working nicely. It gives the mattress support and is not too high.

This is not a foam mattress topper. It is polyester and is about 2 inches thick. I hate foam toppers. They are too hot for me.

Not too thick- maybe 1.5 inches. "Pad" and not "bed" is a good description.

No, it won't be too thick. It's basically like a regular pillow that is very long.

Yes! It's thick enough to cushion hip bones and not feel the mattress beneath but it isn't any more difficult to sit up. I bought this a month ago and still am loving it, no buyers remorse whatsoever.

I'm not sure exactly how thick, but it feels plenty plush :) I'm happy with ours!

I have mine on a mattress,. It is not terribly thick but does provide softness to my mattress. Perhaps you would be better off with a thicker down topper. But this one is very soft and comfy.

Estimate - 1/2 " thick. I use it on a sofa bed to help support my back - I read comments that it works, brought it -- and it works.

Thickness is thin and padding is soft. My 28 yr old daughter is very pleased with it. It has supports strips side to side and mattress, no box springs needed, very comfortable. I highly recommend it.

I have not spent the night on this, but I have laid on it. It is very thick, with a padded top. In my experience with inferior air mattresses, side-sleeping makes contact with the floor through the mattress. That cannot happen with this one. It's about 2 feet thick.

My mattress is only 8-10 inches thick, but there is a lot of extra room with the pad. I have to tuck the pad in all the way around. So it would fit a thicker mattress.

Memory foam is 2" thick. The down alternative is part of the cover and is barely 2" of fluff but when you put the foam in the cover, together it makes a nice thick topper that is very close to the 4" as advertised.

The pad is thin maybe 3/8 in thick. Fits a deep queen mattress very well and does increase comfort.

No, it is not thick. Just plush. If it helps. I was looking for something without padding it all, because I have 12" mattress with padding on top. I was looking for something I can wash periodically, sits well on a mattress without moving around, and works nicely in hot climates (I live on Maui,HI). All of these qualities I found in this cover. So, no padding. I hope it helps.

I am not sure how thick this cushion is, maybe 5 to 6 inches. It is very supportive without being very hard. I highly recommend it. I think returning it is easy too if it doesn't work.

The separate piece of foam inside the cover is 1" to 1.25" thick, as-stated by several others. I will add that it's medium-density, at best, and thus compresses very quickly and doesn't provide that much support. Better than nothing? Yes. Could it be better with thicker or higher-density foam? Definitely! I have a garden kneeling pad that's approximately the same thickness, but much more dense and rubber-like. If I were to cut a piece out of that and put it inside the cover, I'm sure it would be much more comfortable!
