Would this work on soft mattress? apparently the head of mattress is not supported by the chamber.

I would not waste my money on purchasing this. It leaks and you will constantly be pumping it up. We use it on a memory foam mattress and it works when it is inflated... trouble is, it doesn't stay inflated. It leaks air around the pump.

If the mattress is really soft and there is only one person in bed, it might not work. I have a memory form overlay mattress and it didn't work with that, but does under the regular mattress. Probably depends on how soft the mattress is. Mine stays inflated all night, doesn't leak. The hose is well seated in the locking port on the pump.

I have a sleep number bed (clone)-this device works simply-by raising the head of the mattress-it works fine in my situation-though it is my weight that creates the hinge effect-the mattress raises nearly flat but when I get on it the head stays high and the body drops down to the platform-hope this helps-it is an excellent device considering the options/costs available right now.

Yes, or if you strech it on the sides, it will be move towards the bottom/under the mattress. There is no way to get around that, the top part is still good though, from my experience!

I don't seen any reason why the type of mattress you are putting it on should make any difference. Sounds like your mattress may be having some memory lapses (or you would not be considering this item), and this might be just the thing to restore it.

I think so but would suggest checking specifications on that. If you happen to lay directly where the "seam" between the two halves when laid out for a bed, it is a little uncomfortable. I did buy a pillow top mattress pad to help but it might need the egg crate type foam to something thicker. Memory foam maybe?

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

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

As long as you only need it to hold on to, it will work. If the mattress is really tall it will not work to help keep a person from rolling off the bed. Not enough of it will be exposed. But for use when getting on and off the bed you only need the handle area on top. Take off the removable pocket thing. That will give you more area to grab onto.

I'm not sure why not -- most any solid flat surface should be ok. Of course, if the surface it's on flexes or dips it may have some effect on how the mattress feels and responds to pressure, but I wouldn't think it would necessarily be a "bad" thing to do.

It is probably too low. I have not measured from floor to upper edge of mattress, because some creepy Amazon algorithm contacted me out of the blue to answer this question and I am therefore not invested. But it is definitely low. An infirm person would need assistance. A solution might be to provide that assistance.

I had not thought about that, but it could happen - not sure if you'd want to use as a pillow for your head, but if your bed is extremely soft and you're looking for some lumbar support, I suppose that might be useful.

I think it perhaps may work, as you already have the firm surface of the box spring under it.I'd say give it a try.

No it might help a bit, but suggest you get a topper or change the mattress

I don't lie flat so tried this to see if the PadPillow would work. I am not heavy, so have no stigma to rest it on, but I put a small pillow underneath at the back to prop it forward, and it worked fine. I may try this position for myself.

We have it on a sealy posturpedic and it works. We do have an adjustable bed and sometimes when you raise the head up to read it will slip the mattress, but then so do the sheets.

I put on top of my old mattress, and it worked great!I don't have a memory foam or a pillow top, but I think it will make it feel firmer.

Stanley, If your mattress had a boston valve with male threads, meaning it threads IN to not On to, your mattress one of these 2 in the kit should work. My purchase was for inflatable watersport products.

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.
