This is for my son cause he travels a lot and I'm concern cause it seems so firm, any ideas?

Not only firm but too NARROW! But that's a personal matter. I instead re-ordered my Wal-Pilo travel pillow--more square, more expensive--but comfortable, lightweight and packable.

I do like this pillow, & it is firm, but not too firm, very comfortable. However I am 5'2" so the pillow is a bit large for me. It's made well & didn't appear to have the stronger smell as in the Tempur-Pedic brand.

In my experience with this pillow, I would not use the word "firm." I can use it sleeping on my back or on my stomach. It has given me a 5-star experience. And, it fits in carry-on.

If the inner casing that comes with it is not larger than the pillow, the pillow will be firmer than with a case that is a least slightly large than the pillow.

It's a great pillow for travel and is not too firm. Soft comfortable yet good support. I very happy with it

It is pretty firm. I was surprised, but it does give some, so is comfortable.

we got the black and used it through one summer without problems regarding it being too hot. the black material is softer feeling and seems like it would be pleasant to lean your head against. My son had no problems with comfort in this seat. HOWEVER if your child is tall, I would highly recommend not getting a Britax seat because the headrest is not reinforced, meaning that when your child's head is 1" from the top of the SHELL of the seat (NOT including the headrest), he/she is too tall to ride rear-facing. This typically happens when the child is wearing size 3T. Just wanted to mention that in case it saves you the trouble we went through. we got the black and used it through one summer without problems regarding it being too hot. the black material is softer feeling and seems like it would be pleasant to lean your head against.

It's firm but not stiff, my son isnt heavy enough to give it the "sinking" effect when laying on it, he is 24lbs 15 months and sleeps well on it, soft and cushy isn't good for their spines at this age so I opted to wait for the super "comfy" you can cover it with a nice fleece baby blanket & get a similar effect (I did this) hope I answered your concern.

I have 2 of these and have not had that problem at all. One is now being used in a toddler bed and rolling to the edge is still not a problem. And to respond to the other persons comment about comfort- my son is now 3 and able to tell me whether he's comfortable and he still sleeps well on this bed. At this point, he's slept on adult mattresses at grandparents' houses and we've had no problem with this mattress when he comes home. An infant mattress is supposed to be firm and this is but I don't find it to be uncomfortable or excessively hard.

It is not too firm. I have read many comments on the mattress, and was hesitate a little. But I am very pleased

The edges all around are not as firm as they should be, there is a small visible incline. On the plus side, the mattress is pretty even and firm about an inch from the edge that it's not a big problem. It's more noticeable to the eye than when you're actually laying on it. I should say it's on a bunk bed so there's not much sitting on the edge of the bed or rolling over where it could be a bigger problem.

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.

Have had no problems with this issue. I often use the laptop on my lap and it seems firm to me.

I think the shock of first laying on it is that it is very firm, but your body just slowly nestles into it. We have had ours a couple of months and it is still very firm when first sitting or laying down, but it has settled a bit after the first few weeks. Give it some more time, both for the mattress and your body to adjust to the difference. We are very happy with ours, but it did take some adjustment time, after being used to an old spring/coil mattress.

It is not real firm, I would recommend a different brand, go check out pursefection, it is a much higher quality. I purchased several of these that are on Amazon and I'm not using any of them anymore due to the inferior quality. I guess you get what you pay for.

No, it's perfect firmness. My 4-mo old loves it, even to play and practice his tummy time. If it were softer (like our bed) he wouldn't be able to do tummy time so well (hands would sink a little into mattress).

I can only tell you that my granddaughter didn't sink down into the mattress. It feels firm...maybe you got a defective mattress. I would look into that.

We were thinking the same thing. Our son is 8, and can hop on it but not really bounce. We just got it for Christmas so we were thinking the same thing, that maybe if just needs to be broken in, that its new and tight. Plus he's at the bottom of the weight capacity, I wanted him to be able to use it for a while.

I have not found this to be a problem. My son's head does not slump. He sort of tilts it to the side and the seat does have a head "pillow" of sorts. I liked the upright factor because it seemed more comfy than a "C" shape that would curl his back. I also like the Radian b/c he can see more out of the sides than the other seats that I investigated.

I would be a little worried due to the weight. My son sleeps in the bed and he's about 100 lbs. It's stable, but it does wiggle.

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.
