Is the platform hard or slightly soft?

It is hard, my wife just stepped on it with the "extender" feet on it and it is firm. We think it a good switch for 80 yr. old from stairs. Enhoy

Both. It does have some weight and thickness to it, but is not completely rigid.

The entire machine is all metal and quite heavy as well. There is nothing cheap about it. Very well made. The only soft thing is a little pad where your head rests while on it. I use it twice a day and can't get thru the day without it. The only time, I believe, that the hardness of the board might be a problem is when you initially begin to tip back. When in an inverted position the weight of your body is on the top of your feet and ankles and the bed (or board) only serves to keep your back in line. This may seem uncomfortable at first. but you will get used to it after a few uses.

It's about in the middle. I wouldn't say it's firm, since the springs have some give to them, but it's not soft enough to be plush.

Not hard at all. I know someone who drilled two holes in the bottom to secure it to the floor. You just need the correct drill bit.

Actually, kind of in between, but more on the hard side. It is very durable and I was very happy with this purchase.

Well I wouldn't say hard, but I wouldn't say soft either. So maybe somewhere in between. Hope that helps. Also I would really recommend them.

It's in between. A bit softer to the touch, but firmer when you're laying on it.

Very little...maybe a quarter of an inch. It is definitely more padding than the standard console, but not really that soft or comfy.

Not overly hard.Moderately and comfortably firm is a better description. I love it.

No hard surface. It is meant to be used on a changing table. Of u were to place it on a very soft bed, for example, it would be impossible to get it leveled

Mine is very firm; I also have it on plywood. My 3 inch was soft and it bottomed out and the plywood was hard. I have the 3 inch on the 5 inch and it is soft yet supportive now.

Its not downy soft but mine is not 'stiff as a board'. Maybe someone else knows. *Always remember to search google/bing/yahoo /whatever for opinions and info.

It is soft sided, with a rigid I sent for the bottom. Kid can fall on it without getting hurt.

Standard spring style support, firm but not hard. Hope that answers your question, if not please let me know.

It's sort of in between. It's rubber but not super hard either. It's soft rubber.

It is pretty stiff. There is a slight give because it is basically rigid and hard.
