Will this topper make a memory foam mattress feel springy (as opposed to that slowly sinking feeling)?Thanks for answering!

It is very springy like old fashioned foam rubber. I bought it because of the heat from memory foam. I love it!

I don't think so ... It would probably help for a short term but if main mattress is sinking I think this would follow.

It certainly softens a firm mattress. Some comments on here said it's like sleeping on a cloud but I don't really agree with that. It may feel like that initially but it settlers down a bit after awhile. Still feels wonderful & I can't imagine sleeping without it on the bed! I will always have it on the bed.

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.

no, its very firm, we don't have a box spring, just the mattress, and it feels great. Its still firm and yet soft, at the same time even after two little girls using it as a trampoline when they think we're not watching.

Morning Banana Girl - yes, we just re-tested for you and my partner who stayed stationary with me rustling and turning could barely feel a thing. I LOVE our foam topper. Good Luck! Save a Marriage, buy this product. laughing.....

Our topper is on a 'firm' mattress. My husband is satisfied with the amount of 'softness' but I feel that I need more. Also, I find that the topper falls over the edge of my bed a little where I get in and out. My bed is very tall.

We bought this topper hoping it would offset the sagging in our mattress. Initially it felt great, like we were sleeping on clouds. But after a few nights, that effect went away and the sinks in the mattress are evident again. However, it could be because my husband and I both heavy, we may have flattened it :)

I think it might be. I used to also have a memory foam topper and this feel a bit firmer. It is also so much better for you- non of the toxic chemicals found in the memory foam!

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.

the general consensus is soft. that said, the overall feel greatly depends on what's underneath the topper as well.

yes, my old memory foam topper hurt my back, I was a little apprehensive spending so much on this but im finally waking up without any pain. it worked wonders for me

This will not provide support. My husband and I tried this in the same manner you are asking about. It did not seem too hot, feathers did not stick us, however we didn't use it for more than a couple days because it did not make a difference in the cushion feel I expected from my mattress.

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

I did so with the memory foam mattress I purchased for my daughter's bed without problem. Mine is on a platform foundation. Realize that the box spring configuration is less firm. I have no idea about the long term effects of putting one on a box spring. My daughter loves hers.

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.

I think it feels like a pillow top. It turned my 20-year mattress into a soft, fluffy cloud!
