I don't know what 5.5 mean, What is the Density of this foam? Thank You
1499578
I believe that the 5.5 is the density..... 5.5 pounds per sq. inch, tho' I'm not sure about that. Whatever, it is a fairly firm memory foam, tho' very comfortable to sleep on. I have no problems with my back or hips hurting anymore from pressure points. My only dislike is that I bought the 4" thick topper, and I find that it shifts on the bed, even with a mattress cover to hold it in place. Other than that, I have no complaints. It's a terrific buy!

I am sorry...I really don't know. Doesn't it explain it in the discription of the mattress?

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

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.

I have no idea how you measure the density but I bought 4 of the 2" mattress pads and am well pleased. Two of the mattresses were old and I thought I would have to replace them but the foam pads make the mattresses firmer and comfortable. I hope this helps.

This foam is fairly dense for it's 2" thickness. Not like memory foam. It will compress to about half it's thickness if you push down hard on it.

Don't know the actual density, but didn't compress much when slept on. Was nice but not as thick as I thought it should be for the price. Hope this helps!

I do not know the density, but I can tell you that this mattress is NOT firm. The body sinks in the mattress, and turning can be a challenge. I bought this item for my mother, she was uncomfortable to get in and out of the bed, and I had to return the mattress.

I'm not sure how density is measured. ..I would consider the mattress to be firm. ..

I never did find out the density. But when the item arrived, the item was not the correct width. It was ALMOST as wide as they said, at one end and the other end was a couple inches shy of the right width. I sent the foam back for refund.

It is not a solid super firm foam, but rather a loose foam but not lumpy. It maintains firmness for my heavy beagle and I dont need to readjust the foam. It is about 6 inches thick. I felt it was a good buy for the money

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!

mine has been great and such a joy re sleep and comfort. it appears and seems to be 4 inch of gel foam to me and all the same stuff by the looks and feel. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for comfort and sleep. fits well with the mattress that I have and will spread out the usefulness for quite awhile I think. good luck with you decision and for me, I would recommend it.
