How does this compare to memory foam?

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

Larry, I bought this to replace the mattress in my camper and have been absolutely pleased with it. I have a very $$ tempur pedic in the house that I do not sleep as well on. Hope this answers your question. I believe the thicker the mattress the more comfortable you will be.

I have not slept on a Memory Foam mattress, however I have tested some memory foam.I think I would say this mattress I ordered turned out to be perfect. I like slightly firm mattresses. This one is solid foam, but firm. When you sit on it, you kind of sink in a little, but when you lay flat, there is not too much sinking in. But takes the weight points (like hips, etc) and allows them to sink in a bit. Real nice Mattress. No unpleasant odors or anything. I would buy again if needed.

it is much firmer than memory foam. We are using it in our RV and really like it. We prefer a very firm mattress and this fits the bill.

I have never slept on memory foam, but this mattress is very comfortable. We placed it on top of our existing mattress and it is was a huge improvement.

I do not have personal experience with a memory foam mattress but this one is comfortable. Our only issue is that we have it on the wood platform in the camper with no other mattress, we do sink in a little by the morning.

I went and checked...it really is memory foam. I does not seem as dense as what is on my bed but it has made a world of difference in my husband's sleep apnea and acid reflux.

In my view, the mattress topper provides a cooler layer of separation between your body and the memory foam. That's really the reason behind the topper. I would keep it simple, but not too cheap. I can't recall which one I bought because I had it for a few years before I came across this mattress. You want it to be of decent quality so that it fits securely over the mattress. The memory foam delivers the comfort, the mattress pad keeps you cooler.

after comparing by buying both, the Temperpedic will take longer for your adjustment, the regular memory foam is softer. Problem is, the memory foam gives way more easily. I think the temperpedic is better made, but much harder. It is something for you to consider. I have awful neck arthritis and both work very well in allowing me a good night's sleep and the ability to be very active during the day. I just see that I will be buying replacements with my memory foam one where I think the temperpedic is going to last me a very long time

this is more firm than the mattress toppers. i guess it would also depend on your weight. but memory foam alone just goes flat with all the body weight on it and yields equally as hard as the surface its on top of. hope that helps.

If you're on a tight budget or if you dislike the initial stiff feel of medium and high-density memory foam mattresses, then a low-density memory foam mattress may be the right choice. I love my memory foam mattresses. Low is just as good as medium or high. Hope this helps you.

the only difference I have found if the foam. I tried out a friends basic model and then bought the one with the foam as I have a very bad back. I have not been sorry for spending the extra money. Good luck on your purchase.

The backing is not memory foam, but is firm. Actually, the foam serves little purpose. When you are inverted, most of your weight is in your ankles and feet. You don't feel the foam cushion until you are more horizontal.

It's not that firm but it was much better than the 1" mattress that came with my bassinet initially. Definately not a memory foam, it's more of a waterproof type covering over 2" foam.

Not too bad. I have slept on a memory foam that is a lot warmer to sleep on.

I do not have memory foam in mine. I'm not an expert, but memory foam conforms more to your body and you see an impression for a couple of seconds. The high density foam doesn't act the same way.

The whole thing is memory foam, but I wouldn't say it's as soft as my tempurpedic pillow. I use it with other pillows. Not sure I could sleep on it by itself.

It is not a memory foam mattress. I guss, it is more like a clasdic version, but no springs whatsoever. It is nicely semi-firm, not too soft. I love it.

I don't find it hot. It's definitely better than the first generation memory foam in my opinion.

The high density foam they sent me is conventional foam. Most typical bedding companies will use low density conventional foams in their products which will have a higher propensity to break down over time. Typically lower density means lower cost and lower quality. Memory Foam is foam which is slow to recover like the Tempurpedic material. I had a Tempurpedic and I was constantly sweating as the mattresse did not breathe. Hated it. Conventional foam will recover right away and not leave an impression behind and will be much more breathable. Hope this helps.

It is not memory foam. It is pretty firm, but your pillows should help. I use it for our family when we get a cold/congestion to help breathe better.

I have experienced only one other as comfortable and it was not memory foam. I perspire more than used and this iPedic being memory foam can be a bit hot.
