How firm is this pad? I have a bad back from sleeping on a bad mattress and need something with support, but nothing too firm...

The mattress pad is thin. I don't see that it would provide any appreciable support. It is just a slim pad about 1/4 inch thick that sits on top of your mattress primarily to protect the mattress and secondarily to give a touch more padding for comfort, but nothing so noticeable.

It's only a mattress cover. There is no padding to really speak of. I would call it fluffy as opposed to padded

I got this for my father, he's elderly and has a bad back and hip. He is very comfortable with this pad. It is not firm, its not much for support, just makes the mattress more comfortable. He's very happy with it so it was definetly a great buy.

This foam pad is at least 4 inches thick and firm enough to support 200 lbs without sinking in.However it is not hard feeling . I have fibro myalgia and it provides a very comfortable sleeping experience. Hope this helps.

This is quite a firm pad. 2" is more than sufficient, even on an air mattress.

Absolutely. It is very comfortable. I'm not a small person either. I have never had a sore back or side from sleeping on this pad.

I would not say that my mattress is extra firm. I slept on a 12" SureTemp at a friends house and I would say that mattress was firm, but I don't know how the firmness varies from mattress to mattress. The product description says that it is MEDIUM SOFT to MEDIUM FIRM. I would say that that is accurate.

It's going to depend on your definition of too firm. I don't think it's especially firm, but it's not soft and squishy either. I got the thicker version, but you might want to go with the thin version.

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!

I've had mine for only a couple of months now but it's very firm which I figured a low end mattress would lose the firmness faster so ill deal with it until then. Its comfy but stiff. And it is not foamy has a little spring bounce. For the price I'm happy. Back has started to feel better since I got it. My okd one was a soft thin cheap pillow top that sunk in two years

It feels firm, but when you sleep on it, it's nice. I'm 6'4' #200 male and slept on a 15 yr old firm Sealy (I know, it's junk)...with a 3" Lucid on top of it, and after a while started having back soreness again...I bought this 4" and added it to the top. Sleep like a baby now. Actually remember dreams and rarely wake up. Never wake up, and never wake up sore. Great nights sleep.

This is NOT a squishy mattress! Firm and comfortable from the get go. I have had it several months now and it is still firm and comfy. I would buy it again and will recommend it to you. Good luck!

It's a very soft pillow, at least the one that I had received. I would put my back against it, and it would just fold and I would feel myself slumping down immediately. If you want support or a firmer pillow, this is not the one.

This cushion is VERY FIRM, and will give you all the support you need. I find it too firm for me. I'm 5'8, 190lbs.

I have the mattress pad on my sleep number bed and I love it! I have it over the cover that came with my SN bed. I love comfort and I like firmness at the same time so it works well for me( my SN is 60) the pad washes and dries well- I wash on permapress cycle warm,and cool and dry to fluff- when it wears out I will buy another!!

No. It is too soft. It would bottom out. I am not happy with mine. I'm thinking that the next time I add to my review I will lower its rating to a 1. I turned the pad over and it already has low places forming on the new side. I would not recommend the purchase of this pad. I am still sleeping on mine. It is better than nothing on my firm mattress.

It is very comfortable however it may not be firm enough for your liking. I would agree with the others who say it is "medium to soft." If you can check one out in a store first, you could "con-firm" if it is firm enough for your liking:-)

I guess the best word to describe it is "supportive". Not so firm that it's like sleeping on a board and not so soft your whole body just sinks. It's supportive in just the right places like the small of your back, yet the mattress is "cushioned" just enough to prevent your muscles, bones and joints from becoming stiff and sore from "pressure points". It's just a very comflrtabe' supportive mattress. I hope this helps in some small way.
