Is this topper good at increasing the firmness of a softer mattress? Have brand new firm pillowtop turning out to be a little too soft for my husband

don't waste your money I returned it because the form was uneven with lumps and bumps. It does firm up a mattress but I would go for a different company Cheryl

do not buy this stupid thing! It doesn't expand right. I bought 2 and they both did the same thing. horrible :(

Hello, I bought the extra firm topper to place on top of my old mattress; it worked wonderful! It is firm, but provided a little softness at the same time.

I had the same issue. Once it finally reshaped into a flat surface it definitely was helpful. Very firm topper

It's very firm. Some things you to think about is that 3 inches is a pretty heft addition to a mattress and it makes your sheets fit weird and you'll be sleeping quite a bit lower than your husband if your sharing the bed. Also they send it rolled up and it takes quite awhile to lay flat and get rid of all the packaging indentations. And, finally, they have a strong chemical smell for a bit after you buy them. It really bothered some other buyers but I didn't mind too much and it goes away. It is Amazon so if you don't like it, send it back.

Yes and no. If it only needs to be increased by a little, then yes. If you are looking for a major increase, no. It is very comfortable.

Quit the opposite. The mattress is suppose to start off fairly firm and after awhile of expanding it gets softer. Especially with warmer temperatures.

yes it is firm, i would not go so far as stiff. now that ive had it for a couple months it seems to be softening up some. i think its great

It's definitely more in the firm side. I noticed it softens up but not as soft as I would have liked.

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.

it will actually make the bed feel softer. initially it will be feel soft, but once you sink into it, you can barely even turn. we bought it and now use it for a bed for sleepovers. It stayed on our bed for 2 days, and we couldnt' take it anymore. my hard bed felt a lot better after attempting to sleep with this topper on it.

The pillow definitely leans more toward firm than soft. I would even call it "supportive" versus "firm." It sort of flexes with your neck/head after a few uses. My husband prefers a softer pillow and he does not like this pillow.

We have had this mattress for about 7 months. It has definitely became a bit softer. I think walking around on it helps, and we have done that a few times. Overall we are really happy with it, and we like how it's on the firm side.

Yes, I think it is a bit too firm for my baby, too. Agreed--firm is necessary for safety--but we have found she seems to sleep more soundly on the (toxic chemical-infused, not-at-all-green) crib mattresses at each of our parents' houses, and those are both much softer. Any ideas for softening it up?

I can't make any promises, Patricia. In the case of my own mattress it didn't appear to be sagging, but I could feel it when I would lay down on it. If your side is sunk in as you say, this memory foam topper may not give you all the support that you need. It might make it somewhat better, but then again it might not provide all the improvement that you need. You might be better off applying the cost of the topper towards a new mattress.

It is the height/thickness of the mattress, not the firmness. Firmness depends on the layers in between, read the label carefully.

I would say that I found it to be slightly more firm than my previous memory foam mattress topper, but find it to be quite supportive as well. I would not say that it is too firm. It's supportive, and I just love that it's not toxic in the way that other foam toppers can be. I'm currently pregnant. I'm 5'3" and weigh almost 150lbs at 20 weeks. There's some nice "give" to the foam, but as I said, I still find it to be supportive. I hope this helps! Good luck.

I believe you would still find the bed very firm. It is on my son"s bed and he described it like this yesterday, "if I lay there long enough, it will mould to my body but if I roll over, I feel like I am on a table.". I believe we will be removing the topper this weekend. He finds the mattress softer without it. spend a little bit more money and get a better quality one

I found mine to have the same firmness. The best advice I can give is to force yourself to try it for about 3 nights. You will either love it or hate it. Just take comfort in the return policy!

It's pretty soft because of the pillow top. Firm enough not to cause back aches though.

It is about 2" thick and soft. Might help you giving you some cushion if your mattress is very firm. It is not helping me however. My mattress is begining to sag in the middle, so adding a soft layer on top is not the best idea I have ever had! Good luck!

It's very firm. I sleep on it ok though. My 280 lb husband husband loves it. I may try getting a mattress topper soon though.
