Can I put this topper under my foam mattress to make it firmer?

It's so firm on it's own that it might not need one on top. It's very thick and very firm. I'm 155lbs and it's very stiff.

I don't see why not. This topper is very, very firm and should support a foam mattress. Remember to lay this mattress out across some chairs, saw horses, or something similar for the shape to return. Try to position it so air can reach both sides. 48 hours is ideal. If you want the best mattress ever, buy the 5" extra-firm and buy the 3" firm to put on top. Heaven!!!

I do not know how placing this foam under your mattress will work for you. If your mattress is soft then it will still be soft if you place it on a piece of plywood. This foam will prevent a soft mattress from bottoming out on a hard surface. This foam is great for a mattress on it's own.

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 guess it depends on how prominent the bar is. I think it would greatly reduce the amount you feel the bar, even if it is really bad. I have used similar foam toppers over bad spring mattresses with super results.

This mattress topper would definitely soften the memory foam mattress, however the rigid quality of the mattress would still be a factor.

You could but the foam starts firm and the longer your on it the softer it becomes. You would notice you had pad unless your a back sleeper then you should be fine.

Nope, but you can fit a typical fitted bed sheet over your mattress and the foam topper but you'd have to get a bigger fitted bed sheet because the topper adds another 3 in of height to your mattress.

It's possible! It depends how firm your mattress is in comparison to the topper. If the topper is softer than it will help! The topper is pretty firm but it contours to your body.

I wanted to add that you should base your purchase on the firmness you desire...it is VERY firm for a foam mattress. We returned ours.

If your current mattress is sagging in the middle, you need to get a new mattress. A topper will not 'revive' a sagging mattress I'm afraid.

I bought the topper for a tempurpedic bed that was to firm, the quality of the topper is nice but not plush enough. Maybe a lesser density would be softer. I ended up with a memory foam topper.

I don't see why not. The matress cover accomodates a thick matress, so it would probably stretch over a foam topper, assuming it isn't too thick.

Patricia, I doubt the air mattress is firm enough. I have a 10" deep, firm [Tempur Pedic] mattress on top of a box spring that is at least 8" deep. They sit on a solid plywood base. The bed rail fits between the box spring and mattress, giving it lots of stability. Sorry.

Yes, somewhat. My foam mattress wasn't quite firm enough for us, and this fixed it.

I am not entirely sure, but it always safer to have a firm base underneath the mattress for good lumbar support. :)

Yes, I went out and bought a mattress foam and cut it to the size of the pad it had. The pad itself is pretty firm.

I wouldn´t say it provides firm support. It makes the top layer softer. If your mattress is too hard on top this product will make it softer. The firmness depends on the rest of the support (your mattress).

Well, I'm a 180 lb male that is delighted with the 3" 5lb topper. This topper sits on top of a very firm mattress. I do not sink in too much. But, I wonder what would happen if you put the topper on top of your new memory foam mattress? Why do you think you need a topper?
