Does this 6" mattress squish down a lot when sitting on it? I'm debating between the 6" and 8" but would prefer the lighter 6". I weigh 160 lbs.

I really like this futon mattress it is very comfey and is well made. It has not squished down but we do not sleep on it alot so I really dont know if it will if it were used more often.

Yes, unfortunately it does squish down. I would recommend a thicker mattress.

I've had this one for about 5 months now and haven't had any problems. I myself weigh 165 and its held up good

No it doesn't squish down much, and I'm a lot heavier than 160. Very good mattress for the price, would recommend

No.it is pretty good and doesn't squish much. Very comfortable to make a mattress.

6" is plenty for us- remember futons are very heavy-if you intend to flip the mattress over occasionally (which I suggest you do) it can be a real pain. 6", 8" , it is all about person comfort. For us 6" was plenty

Im 6 foot 275lbs and I sure do appreciate the help when moving around this 12" mattress. Dont hurt yourselves. If you have to ask you probably need help!

I'd say an 8, not the most comfortable, but it feels cooler than a foam made one. It comes compacted but it takes about 24 hours to take the perfect shape. I got this for my parents guest room, the queen size one, took on our weight very well, I see no problem for your hubby, as long as you have a firm base I guess. Good luck!

I have a 6" on the top where my 8 year son sleeps, and an 8" foam mattress on the bottom. Can't really go more than 6" on the top; don't want a flip-over. On the bottom, the 8" foam has worked well.

Well Thomas; The ad says its Inflated to 78" x 55" x 6"; Supported Weight: 600 lb However, I dont think its really 6" thick. more like 5 I'd say. Its very comfortable, and is a great, great mattress for camping, or even to use at home. I love mine!

It is a VERY squishy mattress. Like sleeping on a marshmallow. I Even roll of edges trying to sit. Who ever says they are firm may work for the manufacturer. I am a 6' 200lbs man.

I chose the 13" gel because I like a softer mattress & the rating was softer than the thinner mattresses. It has worked out excellent. I am a big guy (6'2' & 345 lbs) & it feels like I'm suspended in a cloud. I don't ever feel like I'm bottoming out, even when I'm sitting. My wife is small (5'7" & about 125 lbs) & she loves it too. It's a perfect fit for us, as we both like softer mattresses. If you also prefer softer ones, I'd recommend the 13", especially if you have a larger family member. If you prefer a firmer mattress, you might want to consider one of the thinner ones. The gel foam is cool, by the way. I tend to get hot at night & this mattress is at least as cool as, if not cooler, than my previous air-adjustable mattress. Much more comfortable too. Wish I'd gotten this years ago. Hope this helps!! Goodnight!!!

It was soft as a foam mattress so it might be a lil too squishy. I set min on top instead of using a foam topper.

The bed has the feel of between a ILD 12 to 14, the top is density of 4 and the middle is a 3, the bottom is high density. I'm 295 and 6'5" have been sleeping great after getting this bed, it doesn't heat me up as my regular spring mattress did. For me it feels like a medium soft mattress, but with good support. For my wife it feels like a medium firm, but she is much smaller than me. I hope that can help you.

I believe this mattress to be medium in firmness. I weigh around 320lbs and it works well enough... could be a little more firm, but is much better than my old coil-spring mattress (no more stiff joints and back pain). If I had to do it again, I would probably purchase an 8-10 inch foam mattress... less material to compress (sink into) for someone my size. I also purchased a proper base for this mattress as well. It could be a little more firm for my preference, but I'd give it an 8.5 out of 10. Other than that, it's great.

This is NOT a squishy mattress! Firm and comfortable from the get go. I have had it several months now and it is still firm and comfy. I would buy it again and will recommend it to you. Good luck!

My mattress is 13" high and it fits very snugly - I'm really not sure how it would fit an 8". Sorry.

I see you got some mixed results! The top of the mattress is quite soft, giving it an initial cushy feel, but the mattress is quit firm. I would agree with the "supportive" answer. Beware, the first week I got this mattress it was difficult to get out of bed, that's how awesome it is.

It is not too firm. I have read many comments on the mattress, and was hesitate a little. But I am very pleased

I had a 200lb man sleep on it for a week with no problem. Just make sure you get the thicker foam mattress for comfort. There are two common thickness, I think I bought the 8 inch.
