If you place the topper on a hard surface (i.e. hardwood floor) do you sink down and hit the floor if you lay on your side?

Umm, I would have to ask our guests, since they slept on it like that once. I don't think you would though like it would happen with a regular foam.

Yes, you sink slightly. I tend to like softer beds, so this worked well for me. You do leave a slight indentation too, but this goes away quickly after you move around.

I am not sure, but I would think yes. I had a 4in topper at one point and you could even feel the floor with that one.

Yes. I have dropped mine several times. Just yesterday from the counter top onto hardwood floor.

I tried it and ended up tacking it down to keep it in place. Bear in mind there is no hardwood floors under the carpet. Tacked down it works just fine.

I've found that you only sink into the mat when barefoot. I don't notice any significant sinking when wearing shoes.

I place it on a hard surface. I step on making sure my feet don't touch the floor

Better to be on carpet, otherwise you may scratch the flooring (also, carpet is softer in case the user falls).

The side is higher than the matreses surface (but depend on how thick of your matress), so should be high enough from rolling out. but even they roll out, since the bed is not that high which is quite close to the floor, so it wont be too bad. and it wont hurt to fall down if there is carpet in your room.

In my experience, it sinks down on a softer surface. It is not a very stable chair, be careful.

It's soft-- too soft. When you lay your head on it, you sink all the way down.

I don't understand the question. Your 3" 4lb. topper does what--protect you when you lay on the floor or not protect you when you lay on your side? Let me put it this way: this is a TOPPER, not a bed. It is intended to be used on top of a mattress. You might get away with using it on top of a futon or an air bed, perhaps even on a box spring, but I cannot imagine it being used with any degree of comfort directly on the floor

Not if you lay it gently on it's side but I have no idea what happens if say a child or a pet knocks it over with a little force. I didn't want to kick it and find out, sorry.

The bottom would be open, but absolutely it can go on floor. My kids do it all the time. More comfortable if on carpet though.

I would say it depends on where you drop it. I dropped mine on the hard wood floors at my house while standing up and it was fine.

I never use it while lying down, I guess it depends on how flexible your body is. Your bottom would be lifted up- as if you had tucked two pillows under your bottom. It is very comfortable while sitting though.

Yes, you sink down when you sit on the side of the bed, but no, it's not like a sofa or chair. Not sure I can explain it, and it also depends no a person's weight. This is firm memory foam, so, when you lay on it, it supports a person's weight evenly, as firm as a mattress, but it's not a good bed to sit on the corner of, because a full body weight over a relatively small area does compress the mattress. Even sitting on the side, it compresses some. That's what memory foam does, but it doesn't really affect how the mattress feels when you lay on it.
