How firm is this pad? I have a bad back from sleeping on a bad mattress and need something with support, but nothing too firm...

The mattress pad is thin. I don't see that it would provide any appreciable support. It is just a slim pad about 1/4 inch thick that sits on top of your mattress primarily to protect the mattress and secondarily to give a touch more padding for comfort, but nothing so noticeable.

It's only a mattress cover. There is no padding to really speak of. I would call it fluffy as opposed to padded

I got this for my father, he's elderly and has a bad back and hip. He is very comfortable with this pad. It is not firm, its not much for support, just makes the mattress more comfortable. He's very happy with it so it was definetly a great buy.

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

It's fairly firm, I would recommend you go down to a mattress store and lay down on one of their memory foam mattresses. That is the firmness of that type of 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.

This cushion is very nice foam, not too firm, but contours the back for nice support. I use it as lumbar support at home in my recliner. I even took it on a 13hr. flight to Hawaii and it was wonderful. I have had it for awhile now and if it disappeared tomorrow, I'd buy another. Hope this helps.

It's not soft as normal mattress. That's the reason I got this one. I had been searching for a mattress that is firm enough to relieve my back pain. I used to get a platform made of several pieces of hard wood and put a comforter (made of cotton) on it. That was very firm and sometimes can be a little bit uncomfortable. This one is thick with good balance between softness and firmness. When it came, it was a little bit too puffy that I thought. But it gets better after some days. It is stuffed with cottons and very heavy. I'm satisfied with the quality of this mattress and would recommend to anyone who is looking for a mattress that is good to your back. So far, this is my favorite mattress.

I do not like firm mattresses myself ..I have a beauty rest mattress..but my back was bothering me. .I added this topper & was surprisingly pleased..It is about 3 inches thick..but it works great for me..it is hard to find a product that actually works..I love it

I'd say medium firmness to firm. Not super firm though. This is my first foam mattress. I LOVE it. It has give, along with support, that I have never gotten from a coil spring mattress. I had back surgery over 20 years ago and have ongoing chronic back and shoulder pain. For the first time in as long as I can remember, I can sleep through the night without pain and wake up feeling refreshed. Particularly when you compare the cost of this mattress to a Tempurpedic, I don't see how you can go wrong.

I found this pad quite comfortable and helpful. I use it in a sitting position so I don't put my full weight on it, however. Good luck.

Mine was not firm. I bought it because my mattress was too firm and needed something soft.

It's not firm enough IMO. It stretches when you do some yoga poses on it so you have to be careful. It is soft and provides a good cushion.

Its a bit more firm than a pillow top mattress, but I did put on a padded mattress cover and it softened it up a bit. Very supportive mattress, I have a bad back and this is by far the best mattress I have ever slept on.

I don't know exactly what you are looking for but it is very dense and firm. Not 'spongy' or cheap. It's like a memory foam pad or mattress.

Firm is not a word that describes this mattress. The word that comes to mind, is 'enveloping'. When I lie down, I sink in - and honestly have trouble rolling over. I am sad to say my back feels worse now than before I bought it. Good luck in your search for a good night's sleep.

It feels firm, but when you sleep on it, it's nice. I'm 6'4' #200 male and slept on a 15 yr old firm Sealy (I know, it's junk)...with a 3" Lucid on top of it, and after a while started having back soreness again...I bought this 4" and added it to the top. Sleep like a baby now. Actually remember dreams and rarely wake up. Never wake up, and never wake up sore. Great nights sleep.

My mattress is very firm, but it is now beginning to sink where my touchy is and I 've had it for about five months now. Also, I spoke with a someone who has been selling mattresses for years and she stated, "People either love Tempurpedic or they hate it." I will personally not buy any memory foam (mattress, pillows) anymore. DONE!

I bought one a few years ago, I would buy another in a heartbeat. Best mattress I've ever slept on. I see it's selling for the same price I paid for it, $699. I had to sell mine due to a move. I miss it every night.However, I would not consider it "firm." It is soft. I used to think firm was the way to go, but this mattress soft yet supportive. I hope this helps.
