is the foam topper soft? I prefer a more firm top (like the firm/extra firm tempurpedic. not really looking for anything like the egg crate toppers

It does have an egg-crate interior but is not too soft. We have it on our sleep number bed and think it is very comfortable.

It is not an egg crate topper. It works and feels like a good mattress, as long as the beds are firmly set on the floor and don't separate.

This is not a foam mattress topper. It is polyester and is about 2 inches thick. I hate foam toppers. They are too hot for me.

Pretty firm but not hard.....this was the most comfortable topper I've ever slept on! Took it to my family's house and actually slept on the floor for a holiday. Would definitely recommend this product.

God love you. Same thing happened to me. I bought the 11" memory foam. Only one person mentioned that the mattress was very firm and that was unfortunately after I purchased it. Damn thing kept getting harder, and I kept buying more foam toppers for comfort. Fortunately, my mom needed a new mattress and she has to have very firm. I gave her the hard 11" and ordered an 8" pressure relief memory foam and I love it. Feels so good to sleep on my side and not wake up hurting! So forget trying to "fix" that hard mattress and just get another one. You will quickly forget about the money you threw away! God love you. Same thing happened to me. I bought the 11" memory foam.

I have on top of a foam topper. The foam was reflecting my body heat, after putting on the mattress pad I felt much better. Remember that the pad is wool covered by cotton sheeting.

It was soft as a foam mattress so it might be a lil too squishy. I set min on top instead of using a foam topper.

to me it isn't all that soft. I come in at 170, so that's close. It is softer than just having my foam mattress, on a platform base. I got this mainly for the temperature qualities because on the foam I wake up in the middle of the night sweating bullets and have to get changed. Now I don't because latex doesn't hold the heat. Latex is a little springy so it took me a couple of days to get used to that but overall I am very happy with it. Maybe the 4 in. would be a little softer but it would be more springy. I bought a fit bit one and I check my sleep every day and I get nights where I am like a stone for 5 hours, just out and dead asleep, which I hadn't had for years. So it is more comfortable than no topper and much cooler than the foam. After 3 or more months I would say I am very happy with this. I no longer search for the perfect mattress, topper or sheets, which I had been searching for, for YEARS! I hope this helps.

There seems to be a top layer of latex, resting on a bottom layer of memory foam. I have only slept on it a few times, and I have a nice memory foam topper on top of it for now because I'm pregnant and sleep on my side and there's nowhere else to store the topper. However, before I put the topper on it I tried it out while awake. The feel is firm, but not hard. You don't sink in like you would with a memory foam mattress. However, you also don't get the feeling of something pushing back into you and digging in, like you might with an inner coil mattress. Some dense foam mattresses have felt "hard" to me. This one just feels firm and supportive-- not plush. It is almost like what you would expect an air mattress to be if the air mattress were impossibly perfectly super-full and taut-- but it has a little more give or "sink" than that. Also, I am told that in several weeks it will soften just a bit, then stay that way, and it will feel less firm than synthetic latex (it is natural latex). As a final note, I have noticed that people really vary in their perception of what is "firm" versus "soft." I would call this definitely firm, but far from extreme.

The 4 of these pillows I have purchased have been a rather firm and heavy foam, and firmer than most regular pillows I've had, but definitely not "hard as a rock." They softened quite a bit after they warmed up from sitting outside in the box as well. Try it out for a couple of nights - I would return it for a replacement if it seems unreasonably hard.

It's pretty firm. My husband and I have talked about taking some stuffing out. I thought after a few months now that it would soften up, but no luck. It's hard for me to use on my head because many times I turn on my stomach, but it's great for me to sleep with on my side like in the product picture.

Convoluted foam is not either. It is a synthetic textile made from polyethylene. It's not natural like rubber/latex and it doesn't conform to your shape like memory foam. The "egg crate" shape allows for air flow, relief of stress and better weight distribution. I remember at my grandmother's house she always had these "egg crate" toppers, and I always found them comfortable. I had one years ago that lasted a long time, although I believe it was only 2" and not hospital grade, it lasted years. I've had this one (4") for over three months now and it's held it's shape and is extremely comfortable. I am very happy with it. Convoluted foam is not either.

It's not really a foam mattress topper, it's more mattress pad. It is very poufy and comfortable. My aches from our new mattress has gone. I actually sleep through the night now. No pains to keep me awake at night.

I have a level 6 and was worried it would be too soft, but I have a thick mattress pad on it and it still is not too soft...I might even put a 1 inch memory foam topper on it just because I am used to a bit of that 'cradle' effect, but I don' like the heat of the thick memory foam at all.

Unfortunately i've never seen a difference in firmness in the Tempur pillows as in their mattresses. i have 3 of their pillows, 2 queen size and 1 full and they all are the same firmness, which is fairly firm compared to a down or feather pillow. They do stay cooler than softer pillows I've used however.

It is firmer than a memory foam topper. I bought a used camper and wanted a new mattress and have sleep well on it.

Hello, the sales material for the mattress explains quite well the type of foam. Definitely is not like the tempurpedic. I truly feel this is a much superior mattress than the tempurpedic.

I agree with Chris. My bed is really firm and also new, and I find the topper makes it more comfortable. It's a medium amount of "squish," so if you want an ultimate pillowtop feel, maybe go with a thick all memory foam topper.
