People are commenting here on memory foam, but this is latex foam matterss, right? How soft/firm is it?

There seems to be a top layer of latex, resting on a bottom layer of memory foam. I have only slept on it a few times, and I have a nice memory foam topper on top of it for now because I'm pregnant and sleep on my side and there's nowhere else to store the topper. However, before I put the topper on it I tried it out while awake. The feel is firm, but not hard. You don't sink in like you would with a memory foam mattress. However, you also don't get the feeling of something pushing back into you and digging in, like you might with an inner coil mattress. Some dense foam mattresses have felt "hard" to me. This one just feels firm and supportive-- not plush. It is almost like what you would expect an air mattress to be if the air mattress were impossibly perfectly super-full and taut-- but it has a little more give or "sink" than that. Also, I am told that in several weeks it will soften just a bit, then stay that way, and it will feel less firm than synthetic latex (it is natural latex). As a final note, I have noticed that people really vary in their perception of what is "firm" versus "soft." I would call this definitely firm, but far from extreme.

This is rubber like on some mouse pads, but definitely not memory foam. I find them the right firmness without being so hard as to hurt when i step on it.

I only slept on it a couple of times, but it's definitely more firm than soft. Hope that helps.

I believe it is regular high density foam. The firmness is determined by the top latex layer. BTW we are VERY happy with this mattress. We have had it about 3 months now. It does seem to be breaking in a bit and I think is maybe 5% softer than when it was new. But we are 100% satisfied with it.

Memory foam and real latex foam are 2 different products. Each one has very different qualities. I will only purchase real latex mattress toppers for myself. Latex can be ordered in soft, medium and firm densities. Latex stays cool, it does not capture heat like memory foam does. I can make no recommendations for memory foam.

It's a close call (and I have limited experience with Memory Foam), but I'd say "Yes". Here's why:> Memory Foam presents resistance merely because of its density... but it melts away when you put pressure on it.> This latex pad is quite dense, but it actually pushes back on your hand. I'd say it presents as much *material resistance* as M.F., but *pushes back* about 2-3x harder than M.F.Suggest you get the 4", though, to really feel the difference.

All the foams are going to be a petroleum based product. If you are looking for a strictly latex mattress, you'll probably have to try Habitat Furnishings.

Funny, one person says this topper is firm, but we put it over a normal mattress, and I think it's pretty soft! Almost too soft for my taste, but it's definitely better than the old mattress was, in my opinion.

it is not memory foam. just plain foam, like you might buy at a craft store to make a seat/bench cushion. it is not very dense/firm. i actually bought a second topper (memory foam though) to put on top of this one. if you are looking for a sturdy, dense foam topper, this is not it. it is soft and gushy. quite airy, but comfortable.

It's on the softer side. If you like your bed really comfy this is the Memory Foam to get!

I don't know how much softness your looking for, but you will not sink into this pad, it kind of cradles you without sinking. You may want to test any pad that your thinking of buying since the memory foam is too firm.

I wouldn't say its overly firm or overly soft. It molds around the pressure spots just right. Very comfortable. Made a cheap mattress feel almost as good as my sleep number bed.

The whole thing is memory foam, but I wouldn't say it's as soft as my tempurpedic pillow. I use it with other pillows. Not sure I could sleep on it by itself.

It's not that firm but it was much better than the 1" mattress that came with my bassinet initially. Definately not a memory foam, it's more of a waterproof type covering over 2" foam.

Personally, I think it's a nice cushion. I would say it's a little softer than memory foam. The gel is there to keep it more cooler than regular memory foam since that sometimes tends to soak in the heat and sweat. I absolutely love this purchase.

No, it is terribly flat and molds to your head. Advice; do not buy a memory foam pillow. Latex is MUCH better.

I love latex pillows. I feel like I'm sleeping on a cloud. That being said, I have the high loft plush pillow and I think it's pretty high, and maybe alittle firm. I wish I had gone with the low loft. I think it will soften up some as time goes on as is the case with my last latex pillow. I am still using that one and really dont sleep much on this high loft pillow...I will eventually tho! When the old one wears out =-)
