Will lying on a firm mattress with a pillow under my head affect the results?

Honestly I'm not sure. I would call a physical theraphist & ask since they ise them. I

I have a sleep number bed with a memory foam topper. The topper does not give at all under the pillow. It is heavier than a regular pillow but not heavy enough to sink more than a millimeter or so.

The pillow is rounded and about 3" higher than the mattress at the highest point. It is as firm as the mattress. If the mattress is fully inflated and firm, the pillow will be firm. If the mattress is left a bit softer, the pillow will be softer too.

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.

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

no...it will not firm up the mattress....you might put a piece of plywood between the mattress and box springs for that and if that is to firm then this memory foam will soften it and that might work for you

Not very. I'm having major low-back problems when I wake up. I'm looking for a way to make it feel firmer or else I'll have to find a firmer one. Good luck!

No, I don't think so. In my opinion this topper is better suited for making a firm bed softer. The topper has no support of its own.

Perhaps it is how you are using your OPTP pillow and regular pillow. I found that if I just used the OPTP pillow - slept on my back on side with it under my neck - AND a very soft, almost flat down or similar pillow for my head that my back didn't hurt. it takes a few nights to get used to the OPTP pillow.

Not necessarily. But if you lay down, you may fall asleep and if so, it can be dangerous, since you will have restricted blood flow to your head...

It doesn't specifically say that on the packaging, but the instructions that come with it will tell you how to achieve a soft to firm feel. You can manipulate the pillow to your comfort. I love it simply because I don't wake up in the morning with a sore neck any more...I feel like my head/spine are in better alignment while I sleep. Hope this helps.

Yes- my full size mattress is a pillow top and the topper added a great deal of firmness to it. It is not as firm as a hard matress but I didn't want hard mattress. I find it immensely comfortable - really a pleasure to receive a product that more than lived up to its product details. It is heavy though so if you order it, it may be a little awkward to manuveur it yourself. I hope this answers your question.

You'll jut sit lower then. I have beauty rest memory foam plus pillow top so part of my head board is covered. Just keep in mind it's a platform not a regular box spring.

I think that should not be a problem as long as your head is on a pillow so you aren't completely flat.

It helped considerably with padding the mattress. However, the sleep divots will still be there since the padding is the same thickness across the bed.

Of course or the pillow will soil. But I'm not completely in love with the pillow. To flat and does not allow any side movement while sleeping on my back, and I wake with a stiff neck.

I think so - that was actually the problem I was having. It stopped me from moving so much that I woke up when I would have otherwise subconsciously turned over. But that no doubt depends on what kind of sleeper you are. I think it'll certainly stop you from rolling over :-)
