If you place the topper on a hard surface (i.e. wood floor) do you sink down and hit the floor if you lay on your side? With my 3" 4lb density version you do.

I don't understand the question. Your 3" 4lb. topper does what--protect you when you lay on the floor or not protect you when you lay on your side? Let me put it this way: this is a TOPPER, not a bed. It is intended to be used on top of a mattress. You might get away with using it on top of a futon or an air bed, perhaps even on a box spring, but I cannot imagine it being used with any degree of comfort directly on the floor

It depends on how much you weigh I presume. I weigh 220 pounds and I do not hit the carpet. I have not tried it on a hardwood floor.

It does hit the bottom if you lay on your side. I have another 2 inch 5lb density foam for a total of 4 inches and it is now very comfortable. My personal opinion is 4-5 inches is comfortable, anything higher will be too soft, you slump in the foam and becomes very warm/hot.

I tried it out on the floor when the topper first arrived and I felt like it did not sink down drastically, but I did not take note of how close I was to the floor. However, it was very firm out of the box and has since been worn in, so perhaps it would sink down even further now. It is only 2 inches thick so it probably gets pretty close to the floor.

Good question but I do not know. Did not put it thru that test. I am sure that the weight of the person is a factor.

Yes, you will sink to the floor. These are designed to be toppers that go on top of your mattress and not on the floor. If you want to place it on the floor you should also purchase a 3 to 4 inch layer of base conventional polyurethane foam to put underneath it.

I am not sure, but I would think yes. I had a 4in topper at one point and you could even feel the floor with that one.

I think you would hit the floor unless you also had something additional like an air mattress between you & the floor. I think they make 4" toppers, maybe that would work!

I has one. It tended to sink very much. I had to use pillows with it as well

Yes, but others may not think so. I am 6'0", 190lbs, athletic build (not fat and soft but not chiseled either) and I bottomed out the pad with shoulders and hips depending on how I was laying. I am an avid camper and usually sleep on a 1/2" foam pad under my sleeping bag, so this mattress topper on my hard wood floor felt great. Totally good enough for a good nights sleep, but don't expect full mattress plush. My sub-100 lb girlfriend never bottomed out the pad and said it felt just like the tempurpedic mattress in the spare room.

You will not sink into it. It is firm, but not hard. It really is a super comfortable mattress. Definitely do not hesitate.

to be honest.. i bought the 6'' version of this mattress and just like you guys, couldn't tell if its comfort on the top of my bed or not... i personally think that it is supprisingly comfort when located on the floor or any hard and solid surface of that matter. as for me: after a few days i just got used to it! maybe that's what it all about :)

Mine is very firm; I also have it on plywood. My 3 inch was soft and it bottomed out and the plywood was hard. I have the 3 inch on the 5 inch and it is soft yet supportive now.

We had the 5", 3 lb. first on one bed and put the 3", 5 lb. on another. I feel the 3", 5 lb. is better. I can't really comment on the 2" since I have not tried it, but I don't believe sinking too far would be a problem with any of them. I think you might have the experience of possibly not getting the full benefit of the memory foam with a two inch, but I'm really not sure. We love the three inch. Hope this helps.

When we lay in ours it sinks down and supports everything. So I would say soft

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.

It's soft-- too soft. When you lay your head on it, you sink all the way down.

i put it on my side only (near the edge). He might feel a little but not much. It will flow OVER you if placed directly in line with where you sleep

There is no sinking in bed is hard and doesn't soften much at all. I had to add a foam topper to soften.

If you are talking about putting the topper on top of your padding that is built into your mattress, like a comfort top, then absolutely no problem. if you're talking about putting it on top of another piece of padding that might slip, I'm not so sure about that because this padding does move around some... very little but definitely a little bit. As for the sheet, the deep mattress sheets will fit very comfortably over this mattress topper. If you put it over topper and padding, it should still fit, but, of course, I'm sure it would be a very tight fit. Incidently, the topper is awesome!! My daughter had a very hard, uncomfortable mattress....brand new and harder than she thought it was going to be. It has completely alleviated the problem and I find her very bed very comfortable and I like the soft bed. Enjoy!!

this fits the day bed perfectly. it falls right to the floor on the front and both ends. I love mine. If your are concerned about it hanging over to much. It does not. It just hits the floor like it is supposed to.

We bought this topper hoping it would offset the sagging in our mattress. Initially it felt great, like we were sleeping on clouds. But after a few nights, that effect went away and the sinks in the mattress are evident again. However, it could be because my husband and I both heavy, we may have flattened it :)

You sink in and it holds your body in position. Not mushy at all! I absolutely love mine. I would recommend this for anyone who wants to extend the life of their mattress.
