It seems reviewers label this mattress as very soft. I was wondering if it is supportive and reduces pain (back,shoulder) in addition to being soft?

I actually purchased mine because of the reviews relating to the softness. Mine; however is incredibly firm. We cannot sleep on it. Moved it to the guest room and the guests complain that it is too firm. Our personal experience is that it caused more pain, mostly in the hips.

My experience is a reduction in back pain which I have suffered with for years. However, I have had an increase in hip pain. The bed is soft enough that I sink in some and it cradles me. I believe the increase in pain is related to the fact that I no longer toss and turn. I think my body had become so used to moving that I stiffen up a little not moving. The bed is definitely softer than I would like, but I do sleep through the night which is new for me. I would call the bed comfortable, supportive is not the first word that comes to mind. In our household we spend quite a bit of time sitting in the bed and it is much more comfortable to sleep in than to sit on. For us, it has been an improvement over a traditional mattress.

I just used mattress and it works well. I thought it would be too hard at first but I slept on it and its just fine.

I'd agree that it is quite firm. It's not exactly soft. It is soft enough to be comfortable, but firm enough to support the body weight.

it is a soft pillow top mattress. It does not help with lower bck pain. Sad to say the mattress lasted only 2 years now it's too soft.

It's a much different feel than memory foam. I have purchased two on Amazon, not from this particular vendor. Both of them came with covers. I absolutely love sleeping on it. Difficult to say whether the feel is softer or firmer than memory foam. Don't worry about it being too firm, not the case at all. We bought king size for our bed and it is heavy. Initially getting it unpackaged and set up is easier with two people. The second one we purchased was for my 80 year old mother, she says it feels like heaven.

In my terms I would not call it firm. It gives when you lay in it. At the same time, I wouldn't call it soft either; it's right in between. It reminds me of a temperpedic type mattress although not that high end. Not sure if that helps. When I lay on beds in furniture stores that are really firm I do not like them. This is not that type of firm for me. It's light weight but still a good amount of support.

Hi, I have had the mattress for about a month in a guest room. I've slept on it a few nights too. It's like a marshmallow and not in a good way. I regret the purchase and find it far too soft and squishy. I wish I had purchased in-store at a local furniture shop. It was cheap and convenient, though, and I suppose for a hardly used guest room it's OK. But VERY very soft.

I would say that I found it to be slightly more firm than my previous memory foam mattress topper, but find it to be quite supportive as well. I would not say that it is too firm. It's supportive, and I just love that it's not toxic in the way that other foam toppers can be. I'm currently pregnant. I'm 5'3" and weigh almost 150lbs at 20 weeks. There's some nice "give" to the foam, but as I said, I still find it to be supportive. I hope this helps! Good luck.

Hello This is a hard one, my sweet wife says no, she would not be able to sleep on a firm mattress she calls it forgiving. It feels firm when we first lay down but within a few seconds we start sinking into it as it forms to you. We both feel that it was firmer in the beginning and now it feels less firm when we first lay down. This is a super comfortable mattress that we really enjoy sleeping on. We would purchase this mattress again. hope this helps.

It is firm but resilient - unlike a futon mattress - so where the prominent parts of your body press on it, it gives slightly. Note that this is not the same as sagging, which it does not do at all. We have the 10" one (sold directly by the company), and it is amazingly comfortable.

It is soft but firm. I find it very comfortable, but I don't have a bad back.

So I had an old Serta mattress. I had a 3" Lucid already on that. This new one I just piled on top. I have no back pain and sleep through the night. I have to believe it will definitely isolate as it's very solid and supportive. Funny thing is that it feels too firm, but, it's not. I'm 6'4" and 205 lbs and really sleep better now.

I'd say medium firmness to firm. Not super firm though. This is my first foam mattress. I LOVE it. It has give, along with support, that I have never gotten from a coil spring mattress. I had back surgery over 20 years ago and have ongoing chronic back and shoulder pain. For the first time in as long as I can remember, I can sleep through the night without pain and wake up feeling refreshed. Particularly when you compare the cost of this mattress to a Tempurpedic, I don't see how you can go wrong.

That's difficult to answer, since that's a everyone's anatomy responds differently. That said, I think it's quite firm. Not hard, but I never sink down into it. I don't sleep on my stomach due to neck and back issues, so I can't say with any confidence when it would be like. But soft is not the way I would describe this bad.

Yes, it is firm and supportive. It should be perfect as long as your mattress isn't super plush and doesn't sink in already.

it most definitely conforms. i'm a heavier person, but even my kids sunk down in it a bit. it FEELS great, and yes, it does almost feel like you're in a comfortable supported position when lying down. i just noticed after a few nights that my hip and back felt worse....almost like when i attempted to roll over onto my stomach or side as i always sleep, is when i ran into issues.

It's supportive but I would not call it firm. In fact we bought it for my daughters bed because she complained it was too firm of a mattress. She is now much more comfortable with the topper.
