Wondering if anyone can tell me the density of the memory foam. From the research I've done lower quality foam is normally 2 to 3 lb. density, mid-grade foam is 3 to 4.5 lb. density and good foam is over 4.5 lb. density. Usually, 5.3 lb. to 6.2 lb is considered the ideal density to properly support the human body. Any idea what this bed is? Wondering if anyone can tell me the density of the memory foam.

Density is over 4.5 but due not buy the bed unless you like a hard bed. The bed is so hard my wife & I are having a hard time sleeping in the bed with out hurting all night. Tried to return it. Brentwood would not help in anyway with letting me buy packaging to send it back.

I asked the seller SleepShop directly and here is the answer given: Gel: 4 lbs, Core: 5.4

Yes, I called Amazon because of the confusion with the pictures. This item is a full round and it is very dense. I had to work my way up to this density because there is no give in the foam. I did order the half round for lower back stretches.

According to the product specs on Amazon it has a density of 1.4 with a 33 lb. compression rate. This is a medium density foam. It was a bit more firm than I expected for a couch cushion.

i don't have anything to measure that exactly but if seems like it about medium-firm in density for both layers. but the top memory foam layer seems like it might be softer than the base layer. when on my side with my elbow straight down pointing into the mattress the ILD seems is minimal compared to any spring mattress or couch cushion.

None of these answers tell the weight density of the memory foam; is three or four pounds?

Thanks for your question! This mattress is made from 3 layers of High Density memory foam. There is a 5 inch layer of high density therapeutic foam, a 2.5 inch support layer of high density memory foam and the top layer is a 2.5 inch layer of gel infused memory foam. Unfortunately I don't have the exact density of each layer but 'high density' would mean 6 pounds per cubic foot or higher. I hope this helps!

The top memory foam is 3". Do not know the density in pounds. If you read my review, I said this mattress is firmer than the one at home (which is a difference mattress). I think it's good for the price. Time will tell how it holds up. I kept my shipping invoice, order from Amazon and will definitely call the guarantee into play if it doesn't meet expected performance. Hope this helps some.

I do not know about the densities but I do know that only the top 3 inches are memory foam according to the manufacturer's tag on the bed the rest of the bed is composed of polyurethane foam however they manufacture it (ie foam to air ratio) to get different "types" it is all made of the same polyurethane material according to the manufacturer's tag 23% is memory foam (23% of 13 in = 3 in) 77 is polyurethane but that said that is the most comfortable bed ever

Sorry, I don't have that information. I think you need to ask the seller a direct question, as the density is not stated on the product listing. You can send Chuck an email, he responds quickly. Go to the top of the listing where it says "ships from and sold by Dreamfoam Bedding"; click on it. The next page comes up, scroll down and there is a place on the right side that says "Contact the Seller". We've had the mattress a month now and it is very comfortable.

We had the 5", 3 lb. first on one bed and put the 3", 5 lb. on another. I feel the 3", 5 lb. is better. I can't really comment on the 2" since I have not tried it, but I don't believe sinking too far would be a problem with any of them. I think you might have the experience of possibly not getting the full benefit of the memory foam with a two inch, but I'm really not sure. We love the three inch. Hope this helps.

It can make your bed softer even with the very firm mattress under it based on a sleeper's weight and the thickness/density of the foam. DreamFoam makes a 3-inch 4 lb foam (Ultimate Dreams 3 inch thick 4 pound density Gel Memory Foam Topper) that is thicker than the 2-inch but has the same foam density that should be even softer. Any sleeper with a body weight of >200 should consider buying the thicker pad.

Our memory foam feels soft to us but was semi hard when we got it. So it has softened up. I have been dead set against memory form after trying memory foam mattresses in a store. I would get on the bed and have to fight my way out of the ditch my body made. I feel the Lucid is soft now but doing its job. It seems to let me roll out easier than a full foam mattress. The three inch should make your mattress softer after about a week. I love ours now. Check to see if it can be returned if you are not satisfied and remember mine is on a fabric mattress. It takes a few days to fill out after you open it. Our memory foam feels soft to us but was semi hard when we got it. So it has softened up.

Mr. Gruber if your weight exceeds 175 lbs. that 2-lb. density foam will break down quickly. It's a shame the company doesn't maintain a website for legitimate questions that Buyers have. Best to your search. Please see Atul Shukla's statement below me.

Density relates to how tightly the foam is per square inch. It actually relates to how much the foam mooshes when you lay on it. The higher the density the more resistance to weight. Think of sitting on a cheap foam pad on a chair. It would flatten easily and you would feel the surface below it quite quickly. A dense foam pad would keep you above the hard board. My understanding the higher the foam density the longer it will provide the cushioned sleep you want. If you and your partner are large people you should be concerned with both depth of the matress as well as density of the foam. However if the density is too great it may not have the "coosh" you would expect. Non scientific answer but the best I can do

The density is firm, with memory foam 8" thick. We purchased this for our granddaugher (5 yrs) and it is a wonderful bed.

The high density foam was disappointing. It really isn't that dense at all. We bought it to top a futon mattress. We sleep on it regularly and it works pretty well on top of the futon mattress. I'm a side sleeper and my arm and leg would go numb just sleeping on top of the futon mattress, that is no longer a problem with the topper on it now. I'm not quite sure what to tell you except that it isn't really dense, but pretty comfortable. I attribute the firmness to it being on top of a futon. Good luck!

Pretty dense. I haven't slept on it. It is on a guest bed, but it was pretty dense. We have a memory foam bed (Serta) that we sleep on and we tested it out and it felt pretty nice!
