Can I put this topper under my foam mattress to make it firmer?

It's so firm on it's own that it might not need one on top. It's very thick and very firm. I'm 155lbs and it's very stiff.

I don't see why not. This topper is very, very firm and should support a foam mattress. Remember to lay this mattress out across some chairs, saw horses, or something similar for the shape to return. Try to position it so air can reach both sides. 48 hours is ideal. If you want the best mattress ever, buy the 5" extra-firm and buy the 3" firm to put on top. Heaven!!!

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.

I am using a slatted base and it works fine. I was worried about the foam bending through the slats, but it has not. I should also mention that I kept a clean piece of cardboard from the interior of the box that the mattress shipped in, and put this piece of cardboard under where our bodies go. It seems to have done the trick - and for free!

Are you speaking of a Pillow Top mattress or a Pillow Top mattress topper? If you are speaking of a pillow top mattress topper, then yes it would add firmness to your topper. However, keep in mind this memory foam will mold to your body and is "activated" by body heat and once you lay on it, it starts to take instant mold to the pressure placed on it. It molds to your body. I really don't see the use for a pillow topper with this memory foam, unless you just need that added softness.

I have it on a very firm foam mattress and while it adds a little fluff I can still feel the mattress underneath.

I guess it depends on how prominent the bar is. I think it would greatly reduce the amount you feel the bar, even if it is really bad. I have used similar foam toppers over bad spring mattresses with super results.

No, memory foam mattresses dont come in firmness settings. It molds to your body. May feel firm to some and soft to others.

I don't think so. I have a firm 10" mattress and a little lip in my bed that holds it pretty tightly. I fear the foam Will be too soft to hold it in place

This foam Is very firm. i don't believe it would be comfortable to sleep on. It is great as a seat cushion.

Hi,This is not a firm topper by any means. It is not a topper that you would want to put on top of a soft, pillow top bed--unless you like that softy smooshy feeling.

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.

You can, but this mattress is all foam. So,it is best to put it on a support so that it is not warped or sunken in.

I placed it under the mattress pad. Doesn't seem to compress the foam pad too much

I think it might be. I used to also have a memory foam topper and this feel a bit firmer. It is also so much better for you- non of the toxic chemicals found in the memory foam!

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.

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.

No, you might want to look for something softer - this one makes your bed incredibly comfortable, but is too thin to fully change the characteristics of your mattress.

As far as appearance the topper may make the mattress look fuller. The topper should make your mattress more comfortable to sleep on.
