I just bought a new bed and its extremely firm. Will this topper make my bed softer even with the very firm mattress under it?

It can make your bed softer even with the very firm mattress under it based on a sleeper's weight and the thickness/density of the foam. DreamFoam makes a 3-inch 4 lb foam (Ultimate Dreams 3 inch thick 4 pound density Gel Memory Foam Topper) that is thicker than the 2-inch but has the same foam density that should be even softer. Any sleeper with a body weight of >200 should consider buying the thicker pad.

It depends. The density of the foam is paramount. How dense a pad you need is dependent on your weight. The more you weigh the more dense the foam should be. If I remember correctly there is a chart for this on the DreamFoam website. If you get a too dense foam for your weight you will not have gained anything. In my case I tried to compromise but it is still a little too hard for my wife. Works ok but not perfect. we use it in our camper.

That is what we use on a very firm split king mattress/electric bed from Costco. It's perfect now. Was too hard for my tender spots before.

I found my bed more comfortable with this on, and my bed was already soft to begin with. Soft and comfort are both subjective though, so I can't guarantee you'll have the same experience.

As long as you're strong enough to shake it out every week or so, I think it should make your mattress softer. Without shaking, it will probably compact pretty quickly.

No, in fact I think it is too soft.you slide off the.bed at the edgr. None of our deep pocket sheets or mattress work. I must say that it did help my hip but I would go thinner.

I don't find it firm when you lay down on it. It lets you sink in and wraps around your body. It is soft and comfortable.

I suppose it depends on what "comfortable" actually is. This particular topper is soft in comparison to a dense memory foam mattress. However, if you place it on top of a soft mattress, the "soft" aspect will definitely remain. This can be good or bad, depending on the sleeper's preference.

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!

My back does not ache in the morning since I added to my bed. I have a new mattress that is too firm which is why I bought the foam topper and I love it. If you have a very old mattress that is in bad shape then the topper can only do so much to help.

I suppose anything is possible. My base was med/firm before adding my topper. It helped but not enough. As a side sleeper I'm now convinced anything on your mattress that is "firm" shouldn't be.

Mine was also very firm at first. It is much softer now but firm. So yes it does get a little softer

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 believe you would still find the bed very firm. It is on my son"s bed and he described it like this yesterday, "if I lay there long enough, it will mould to my body but if I roll over, I feel like I am on a table.". I believe we will be removing the topper this weekend. He finds the mattress softer without it. spend a little bit more money and get a better quality one

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 would say yes, it is very soft, which is why I returned it. I was looking for something a little firmer. On a firmness level I would rate this a 4-10

I do not like firm mattresses myself ..I have a beauty rest mattress..but my back was bothering me. .I added this topper & was surprisingly pleased..It is about 3 inches thick..but it works great for me..it is hard to find a product that actually works..I love it

Yes. My mattress was so firm it was making my hips sore because i sleep on my side. This made a huge difference in the softness. It's really a nice product.

If you are talking about putting the topper on top of your padding that is built into your mattress, like a comfort top, then absolutely no problem. if you're talking about putting it on top of another piece of padding that might slip, I'm not so sure about that because this padding does move around some... very little but definitely a little bit. As for the sheet, the deep mattress sheets will fit very comfortably over this mattress topper. If you put it over topper and padding, it should still fit, but, of course, I'm sure it would be a very tight fit. Incidently, the topper is awesome!! My daughter had a very hard, uncomfortable mattress....brand new and harder than she thought it was going to be. It has completely alleviated the problem and I find her very bed very comfortable and I like the soft bed. Enjoy!!
