How thick is the mattress pad? Our current bed is too firm and trying to soften it up as well as heat it.

Hi Karolyn,The mattress pad is not thick at all. It's awesome for warmth, but it won't help for softness.

it probably won't help you soften it. it will keep you warm, though. it's not very thick, it's not 1/8" but can't really measure it.

its pretty thin, maybe 1/4 tops so you would need something else for softness like a memory foam topper or something

Probably not enough to make a difference. It is as thick as a regular mattress cover. That said, I really like the way it heats the bed!

It is not very thick, maybe 3/8". Enough for the wires to be encased in. I would not rely on this as a pillow top. We actually use it under our existing pillow top, over our sleep number mattress. We LOVE it but if you sleep on just that, you can feel the wires from time to time. Not bad but noticable here and there. We initially used an oversized fluffy comforter as a pillow top and it helped and was easier to wash. I hope this helps. Feel free to ask anything else! We really do love it.

If you want a softer bed this will not help, but the warmth is excellent. Especially this year with all the horrendous winter in the Midwest......

Not thick enough to serve as a cushion or pad.Also read owners booklet it makes the installation clearer.

Its not super thick, but it is soft. And the nice lovely warm inviting heat is AMAZING. We have it on over an Englander Savannah mattress, and I think it feels pretty good.

This will not add and softness., only heat and I don't like this model as much as the older one. This one make a loud hum I can hear.

For a mattress pad, it's pretty thick and plush. Just from memory, I'd say somewhere around a 1/4 inch thick. We LOVE this mattress pad and bought a second one so we always have a back-up.

I need to revise my response... My mattress is closer to 8" deep. Sorry about that!

Hi. It is about an inch thick. It is much better than the pad that comes with the co sleeper. The original pad is very cheap and plastic. I highly recommend getting the organic mattress pad. It is very soft and comfy. :)

we have the mattress itself in an allergy-proof sealed zipper cover. any mattress pad we put on, we do so OVER that, so it can be taken off & washed. i think the heat is so gentle, that if it was under another pad, you would barely feel the heat. i suppose you could try it and just up the heat higher.

Slightly. If the pad were a bit thicker it could be even better. It Definetly does not bake you and might provide a slight cooling effect. If you have a very firm mattress and want something to take away the ultra firmness. This isn't the pad for you.

This mattress pad is comfortable but would not call it thick or firm. I like it very much for our king size bed.

This mattress pad is just a cover. It doesn't really add "extra" comfort or softness to the mattress. We just bought a new mattress from Amazon...It was delivered in a box. Medium firm 10' foam...and I bought the mattress pad to protect it. FINALLY we are getting restful sleep. If you can swing a new mattress...I would do that first. Sorry I am not much help.

I cant comment on your numbers for most others or my own pad, but I know its working for me. The mattress I replaced with the memory foam king was a plush, so Im more inclined towards soft than you. My new mattress was too soft, and this helped a lot.

well I have a queen with lots of extra padding on the thick mattress because I like everything very soft and cushy. Have not yet bought a bed skirt. and have not taken measurements.....sorry but its pretty flexible and can adjust it quite easily.....good luck

I would go for the 3" pad and put a $30-40 mattress cover on top. The cover keeps everything in place even during activity on the bed.Yes it will soften up a firm mattress about 20% (I have a 2" pad which I really like, I am 5'9" at 175lbs)

I don't know the actual thickness but it is the best mattress pad I have ever had, very good quality. I love it.

I wanted to add that you should base your purchase on the firmness you desire...it is VERY firm for a foam mattress. We returned ours.

If you used a heated pad it would make the mattress really soft where it was heated and would not work so well for support. I do not know if it would damage it but it would be hesitant to try it.

This pad is made to help you sleep cooler, it is only 3/4 of a inch thick. We had it made thin on purpose so it doesn't take away the feel of memory foam or tempurpedic beds.

Nope, it's pretty firm. If you want a smaller one, get the smaller size and pad where needed.

Mine is much thicker than that. Since it is inaccessible right now (it's in long-term storage), I can't give you an actual measurement, but I'd guess it is at least 4.5" thick. I find it firm and yet very comfortable.
