i see this is also memory foam like the contour but the contour was way too soft; is the memory foam in this different?

Unfortunately don't know about the contour, however this is pretty firm and gives a good amount of support.

Not sure how it compares compares to the other pillow your referring to but I purchased this for my 225# husband for his back problem and he loves it. We tried bed and throw pillows that were too bulky but this one seems to be just right. Hope this helped.

it is soft, but not as soft as the memory ones, we love our pillows. was a great investment

The memory foam in this pillow is very much inferior in quality to a tempurpedic. The pillow flattens completely when you put it between your knees. The cover is scratchy and made with the material you see you older airplanes.

Yes! It is very firm and comfortable. I have a lot of difficuties with my knees when I'm sleeping. The Carex is perfect, just enough firmness, but not like you have a giant boulder between your knees. It has made sleeping much easier.

I was dissatisfied with this. I don't use it. Smashed down too much for me. I went back to using a pillow again. Disappointed.

it's way too soft and doesn't provide any support at all. The cover is scratchy as well. it's an inferior product all the way around - don't waste your money on this one.

I don't know what the contour is; but the Carex is just right for me. It is not too soft.

I have a level 6 and was worried it would be too soft, but I have a thick mattress pad on it and it still is not too soft...I might even put a 1 inch memory foam topper on it just because I am used to a bit of that 'cradle' effect, but I don' like the heat of the thick memory foam at all.

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.

Yes it is medium soft. I have had very soft memory foam mattresses before. This is not like that. It is a little bit firmer but still comfortable.

I sometimes sleep on my back. The contour is slight and feels comfortable. not sure how much of a contour you want but both ways feel great to me! I have spent so much money on doctors, pillows and aids but this is the best investment I have made.

I guess the best answer I can give for this is that regular memory foam feels "dryer" or "crisper" to me. It's still squishy, but you don't sink into the bed as much and it has a little bit more resistance. This gel infused one feels more dense and that makes it more squishy for some reason. I like it much better than the regular memory foam.

No. This item is not made of memory foam. I can't believe anyone answered yes. They must have made a mistake during the questioning process. I almost answered yes accidentally because of the way Amazon asked. They said can you answer a question for this member - is this a memory foam topper? I was thinking yes I can answer the question, but no it's not a memory foam topper. But they only had one selection. Funny stuff. Anyway. You're welcome. I might mention that my wife and I were so surprised at the comfort quality that we are going to buy another one soon.

The Phenom pillow was air cool memory foam. The Free Spirit is NXG memory foam. This will likely have a different feel.

This one is soft, it's been awhile since I had mines, it wasn't firm enough, it was to soft to me, I like mines firm like a travel neck pillow to support my neck, I had to stuff more crap unit to make it firm, to soft to me, you can take some stuffing out to better suit your needs..

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:-)

It sinks a little but it is definitely not a memory foam. Like I said in my previous review, it seems to be that firmness is a very personal thing. Some people feel this is too firm for them.After my back went out again in January I placed a piece of plywood between the mattress and this foam and I have been sleeping like that ever since. For some people this would be unbearable but it works for me. I hope this helps.

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.

Our memory foam feels soft to us but was semi hard when we got it. So it has softened up. I have been dead set against memory form after trying memory foam mattresses in a store. I would get on the bed and have to fight my way out of the ditch my body made. I feel the Lucid is soft now but doing its job. It seems to let me roll out easier than a full foam mattress. The three inch should make your mattress softer after about a week. I love ours now. Check to see if it can be returned if you are not satisfied and remember mine is on a fabric mattress. It takes a few days to fill out after you open it. Our memory foam feels soft to us but was semi hard when we got it. So it has softened up.

I would say, yes but with memory foam it contours to your body and is extremely comfortable. As far as I'm concerned, memory foam is the best kind of mattress.

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.

This is not a true memory foam mattress. It is a foam-like core (not springs), but it does not feel firm and dense like memory foam. This is a soft bed. I would not suggest this mattress for heavier adults or for couples to share. I bought this for my teenage daughter and she has been raving about it's comfort. I slept on the mattress last night, while she was having a sleepover, to test it out and she's right. It is incredibly comfortable; especially for the price!

It is all relative. I would not say it is "cooling" but that it doesn't warm up as much as other foam pillows. I have not had much luck with memory foam as it's usually too hard; this pillow is softer and more comfortable in my estimation at least for a back sleeper.
