Does this cushion provide support for sitting up in bed where the mattress is too soft, or does it just increase the tendency to slide forward?

I wouldn't use it for something like that. If you are planning to sit on it in bed. It is in the shape of a wedge so it would push you forward I imagine.

I haven't tried in but I think it would not slip as it doesn't slip on my cushioned chairs. The material it is made with is not slippery at all.

HelloThis cushion is designed to position lower back including tail bone in place and this helps sciatica ( that's back pain from pinching of a nerve between vertebra that radiate to hip,groin and leg sometimes )I got this cushion for my right hip pain and seems to be helping me so far but I just start using it so not too sure if the cushion will keep its shape and continue to help me.So I would say it may help but if you have Body Bath and Beyond or other stores that carry it, try it first to be sure.

Yes it does, a little. If you have a sensitive back, you may want to purchase a different massage cushion.

My father-in-law is over 100 years old and also had a sore on his bottom. This cushion has helped tremendously. However, he finds it hard to sit without slipping toward the front of the chair and has to keep hitching himself back up. I have wrapped the cushion with a towel to help the slipperyness, but just did it today, so don't know how well it will work. Pillow is good, though.

The thicker the cushion you buy I think the softer it will be. I have 2 1" pads and they are soft enough for my husband. He is confined to his chair all day and it has prevented any bedsores.

I am not sure about adding comfort to a hard bed. I would say it adds a little plushness and cushion, if you are looking for more than that you may want to consider a memory foam with this mattress pad.

It makes the bed softer but still maintains the firmness of the original mattress.Easier on the hips if you sleep on your side.

I would have to say no. I love my cushion but I don't consider it to be easy for someone to slide onto. I find myself lifting up over it to sit. Lots of people like it that try it though. Hopefully this helps.

Not very. I'm having major low-back problems when I wake up. I'm looking for a way to make it feel firmer or else I'll have to find a firmer one. Good luck!

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.

No, not at all. I read some of the other reviews on the thicker insulation and saw that was an underlying them. With more support, comes more insulation and heat. this is not a lot of cushion but enough to have a more smooth comfortable slumber and no added heat.

I assumed that the configuration does not allow them to be that specific. I bought this cushion and is more than two but not quite three, it however does the job quite well. Actually I am glad it is not thicker which might make it awkward to sit. Does the job and I ordered another one not to carry one around.

I have never used it in a soft bed. I use it for support in a recliner. I have a hump from prednisone use so I suspect my use is different from most people. Sorry I can't be more help.

I'm using this mattress with a hand-me-down evenflo p&p.; So far I have it in the bassenet part and it serves it purpose. I do think it is a little on the soft side, but some of this is due to poor underneath support. I think there will be an improvement when i move it below. No gaps around the edges is a plus. I'm not sure how it would fit other brands. I measured to assure an extra tight fit and recommend others to do the same.

No, it only lifts the mattress a few inches, that is nit enough to "sit up".

It's on the softer side, you definitely sink into it. It adds a very small amount of support. I bought it to "soften" a very firm mattress and it does exactly that. It is also not "cool" as advertised, it is cooler than memory foam but still holds a lot of heat. Hope this helps!

No. The cushion is very firm and will not compress enough to make this position comfortable.
