Did it help your back? I am buying it for the same reason to cover my firm tempur mattress which gives me soooooo much back ache

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.

Compared to what i owed previously, this has the right firmness for me. My back no longer aches. If yoy need something more firm, this may not be for you. I will say that it doesn't spring back like it did when i first purchased it, but still no more back pain. You may have to look at another product. This may not work for you.

I have not used the extra firm, however, the original is quite firm. It is way firmer than anything I've used at a gym or PT.

This is definitely high density. I think it's more of a slow sinking. If you sit on the edge of the bed, it will sink down fairly quickly, but because you're putting all your weight in one spot. Depending on your height & the height of what you're putting the mattress on, it can make getting into bed a bit gymnastic! It feels like a very firm mattress, but with the cushioning you can only get from foam. We love it!

I'm a 195lb man, and even though 5.5 should be rather firm, I found it to be much too soft for my liking. (I was looking for something firm.) I had a 4" memory foam topper from my previous spring mattress that I put on top of this though, and it feels much better (firm) now. I'd say if you want something you can sink into a bit, this would be right up your alley.

God love you. Same thing happened to me. I bought the 11" memory foam. Only one person mentioned that the mattress was very firm and that was unfortunately after I purchased it. Damn thing kept getting harder, and I kept buying more foam toppers for comfort. Fortunately, my mom needed a new mattress and she has to have very firm. I gave her the hard 11" and ordered an 8" pressure relief memory foam and I love it. Feels so good to sleep on my side and not wake up hurting! So forget trying to "fix" that hard mattress and just get another one. You will quickly forget about the money you threw away! God love you. Same thing happened to me. I bought the 11" memory foam.

The top memory foam is 3". Do not know the density in pounds. If you read my review, I said this mattress is firmer than the one at home (which is a difference mattress). I think it's good for the price. Time will tell how it holds up. I kept my shipping invoice, order from Amazon and will definitely call the guarantee into play if it doesn't meet expected performance. Hope this helps some.

It's not soft as normal mattress. That's the reason I got this one. I had been searching for a mattress that is firm enough to relieve my back pain. I used to get a platform made of several pieces of hard wood and put a comforter (made of cotton) on it. That was very firm and sometimes can be a little bit uncomfortable. This one is thick with good balance between softness and firmness. When it came, it was a little bit too puffy that I thought. But it gets better after some days. It is stuffed with cottons and very heavy. I'm satisfied with the quality of this mattress and would recommend to anyone who is looking for a mattress that is good to your back. So far, this is my favorite mattress. It's not soft as normal mattress. That's the reason I got this one. I had been searching for a mattress that is firm enough to relieve my back pain.

Although I have no specific pound rating for the ILD rating I can tell you that my mattress is in the upper end of ratings. ( possibly 15+). I suffer from lower back problems. It's firmness is exactly what I needed, although it was necessary to "get used to it". Very satisfied with my mattress

As far as I know it's single density throughout...but I've been wrong once before. We replaced our 'custom' inner spring with this and whatever the density, it is by far the most comfortable mattress we've had so far, in fact we passed on our friend's guest room bed to sleep in our coach parked on the street in front of their house. Be sure to give it a full 72 hrs to expand before you sleep on it.

Density is over 4.5 but due not buy the bed unless you like a hard bed. The bed is so hard my wife & I are having a hard time sleeping in the bed with out hurting all night. Tried to return it. Brentwood would not help in anyway with letting me buy packaging to send it back.

It was too plush for me. I traded with a friend who purchased a different brand that was too firm for her. Great question and extremely important. The sellers should provide more info...even have a firmness scale that provides this key measurement. Who cares about 13 or 15 inches if its too plush or firm?

I would not say that my mattress is extra firm. I slept on a 12" SureTemp at a friends house and I would say that mattress was firm, but I don't know how the firmness varies from mattress to mattress. The product description says that it is MEDIUM SOFT to MEDIUM FIRM. I would say that that is accurate.

I am not sure but the density seems firm to me. It is a very comfortable and supportive pillow.

Im 235 and its too soft for me. I just sold mine for $100 because my back started to hurt. I tried to contact customer service first, but they won't do anything for you until the mattress starts to sag over 1". I did purchase a great mattress from Costco thought, being Costco, I can return/exchange it at any time for any reason. Its a firm luxury and I am sleeping well now. My wife is 125, she was fine with the Lucid.

I've tried this out on a hard floor; it's definitely not an adequate mattress by itself. I think 8 inches is about the minimum thickness for a memory foam mattress.IMO, the minimum density for a stand-alone mattress should be 5lb/cu.ft. I think this product is 3lb/cu.ft. The lower density means a shorter life-span and a softer feel.IMO, the perfect memory foam bed consists of an 8 inch thick 5lb/cu.ft. density base with a 3 inch thick 3lb/cu.ft. top.If I may recommend a topper...

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.

From what I understand about the density it's from 1-5, 5 being the firmest. This mattress is a 4.
