How thick is the mattress pad? Our current bed is too firm and trying to soften it up as well as heat it.

Hi Karolyn,The mattress pad is not thick at all. It's awesome for warmth, but it won't help for softness.

it probably won't help you soften it. it will keep you warm, though. it's not very thick, it's not 1/8" but can't really measure it.

its pretty thin, maybe 1/4 tops so you would need something else for softness like a memory foam topper or something

Probably not enough to make a difference. It is as thick as a regular mattress cover. That said, I really like the way it heats the bed!

It is not very thick, maybe 3/8". Enough for the wires to be encased in. I would not rely on this as a pillow top. We actually use it under our existing pillow top, over our sleep number mattress. We LOVE it but if you sleep on just that, you can feel the wires from time to time. Not bad but noticable here and there. We initially used an oversized fluffy comforter as a pillow top and it helped and was easier to wash. I hope this helps. Feel free to ask anything else! We really do love it.

If you want a softer bed this will not help, but the warmth is excellent. Especially this year with all the horrendous winter in the Midwest......

Not thick enough to serve as a cushion or pad.Also read owners booklet it makes the installation clearer.

Its not super thick, but it is soft. And the nice lovely warm inviting heat is AMAZING. We have it on over an Englander Savannah mattress, and I think it feels pretty good.

This will not add and softness., only heat and I don't like this model as much as the older one. This one make a loud hum I can hear.

It is strongly advised not to put sharp creases or folds in the pad. the heating elements feels like wires going vertically up and down inside the pad. The pad comes with safety pins you use to pin the pad flat on the mattress by the edges. if you have to tuck the excess padding under the mattress this should be okay as long as there aren't any sharp folds

I measured ours & it is 1 1/2 inch thick. We had an old egg-crate foam mattress that we also put on the bed. It is VERY comfortable.

Hi. It is about an inch thick. It is much better than the pad that comes with the co sleeper. The original pad is very cheap and plastic. I highly recommend getting the organic mattress pad. It is very soft and comfy. :)

It isn't firm. It won't be like a firm foam mattress. It has some give and softness to it.

I agree with Lauren0418. I wouldn't call it a "mattress"... it seems uncomfortable to me and our nebworn did not like it. Looked cold and uninviting. I wish i new about putting another pad (which is another purchase).. maybe that would have helped.

the pad that I have is maybe 1 1/2" thick but I don't ever remember seeing anything about the firmness??? sorry

The pad I measured is about 3/8" thick. I measured the old one so possibly the newer one could be slightly thicker.

I need to revise my response... My mattress is closer to 8" deep. Sorry about that!

This mattress pad is just a cover. It doesn't really add "extra" comfort or softness to the mattress. We just bought a new mattress from Amazon...It was delivered in a box. Medium firm 10' foam...and I bought the mattress pad to protect it. FINALLY we are getting restful sleep. If you can swing a new mattress...I would do that first. Sorry I am not much help.

Hey to be honest is pretty hard. I bought a mattress top. I was planing to buy it anyway cause i have mattres top in all our beds.

It is about 3 inches thick but does flatten out in the part that you are sleeping and can make it uneven. The pad does not fit the queen size mattress; it is slightly too narrow and too short.

About 5 inches thick, if you use a thick mattress pad, or some sort of foam lining it will be better, a bit uncomfortable where it folds down the middle, looks great though

It is not a thick mattress pad. In my opinion it didn't affect the firmness of my mattress.

I cant comment on your numbers for most others or my own pad, but I know its working for me. The mattress I replaced with the memory foam king was a plush, so Im more inclined towards soft than you. My new mattress was too soft, and this helped a lot.

The pad is 2 inches thick and it is slightly smaller than my queen mattress. It is not a significant difference though. Ordering a larger size may be the answer if you are concerned about it being to small

I would say, "no." Our mattress is a pillow top on only one side and in pretty rough condition. I actually ended up flipping the mattress over to the non-pillow top side and put the pad on that side... it's been GREAT since I did that!
