Should I get the 6 inch and a mattress pad, or should I get the 8 inch and no mattress pad? Both are about the same price.

The mattress itself isn't very soft. You may want the mattress pad... or you may want a different mattress. This one has some problems. The biggest problem (besides being hard and springy) is that it folds right in the middle, which means that it doesn't fit my futon very well because the seat is a fixed length and sticks out too far. In hindsight, I might have been better off buying a cheap mattress from Ikea or someplace.

Im perfectly content with the 6" mattress myself. Many a nights it is slept on actually. So I guess if you want it extra chushy then maybe get the pad too, but I think the mattress is very comfortable.

I would be careful buying this mattress pad...I use a name brand sheet called Bradford home fashions...they sell them on Amazon its their Luxury ultra soft set. comes with bottom, top and pillow covers, its actual the most comfortable sheet set I have ever owned! I think its only around $30. So its cheaper than anywhere else and the quality is superb!! Super soft...good luck I hope I helped you out.

These sheets are a great fit for a regular mattress. I use a mattress pad on my mattress and the sheets still fit without being too tight/small. Without the pad, the sheets fit but just aren't as snug but they're not too big without the pad. Hope this helps!

My mattress is also 6" but the pad works just fine on it. The corners fit well but there isn't a lot of extra fabric to wrap around the sides. The fabric comes right to the end of the mattress. With the fitted sheet on there you don't notice, and I haven't had a problem with the mattress pad coming off.

I have a 6" on the top where my 8 year son sleeps, and an 8" foam mattress on the bottom. Can't really go more than 6" on the top; don't want a flip-over. On the bottom, the 8" foam has worked well.

I use the American Baby Company Organic PVC and vinyl free pad. Make sure to get your pad without any chemicals like that, or you might as well buy a $50 chemical-based mattress!

Go around to some mattress shops in your town and try them out. Especially the memory foam and latex ones, and make notes of the ones you like. If you have the names of the models of national brands that you like, you'll be able to give Chuck a better idea of what you like. I personally said pretty much the same as you and probably would have picked an 8 going in cold. I went to a Tempurpedic shop and tried out the mattresses and realized I wanted one just a little bit firmer, so when I corresponded with Chuck I picked a 7, and I'm very happy with it. But you're the only who can decide.

6" gives you a lot of room 8" will fit ok with room for comforter. 10" will probably fit without anything on it but may be a tight fit. I do want to caution you though. They picture it where it looks like a set. The bed is sold separately.

The futon pad is 2 inches wider and 8 inches shorter than a twin. So twin sheets are fine. I bought sheets with deeper sides to make up for the 2 inches it needed in width.

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 would use the thinnest mattress you can. I have an 8" Bed in a Box. Thicker mattresses will work but don't bend as easily. If you like your feet pretty high you can feel sort of jammed in the bend. There is a retainer bar at the foot to keep the mattress from sliding down.

In my opinion, yes, the same. Note that in the Amazon blurb description, the list directly under the title for this 8", it states that the Memoir mattress is also available in 6" and 12". Further, when comparing model numbers at Amazon and Sleep Signature page for the 8" Memoir, I found I had to be careful that I had selected the same mattress "size" at both sites. It's easy to overlook, but makes a difference because one digit changes -- 0 indicating twin, 1 for full, 2 for queen, and 3 for king. For the full size in this 8", the only difference in the model number between the two site is that Amazon's number has two leading zeroes. Of course, to be dead sure, you could call the tollfree number at the Signature Sleep website. I've had fairly good success recently with manufacturer responses to questions that users couldn't answer.

I think that depends on the size of the mattress. I really love these pads, so I'd recommend getting it and tucking it in the side between the bassinet and mattress. They do stay true to size and do not shrink, just to let you know.

Hi! I would recommend getting the larger product. I have a 6 lb Coton who will be probably 10-13 lbs full grown. He definately prefers the larger pad and it is not that much more in price.

I purchased one for my 8ft bed so you need to get the part number for a 6.5 ft bed. My suggestion to you is when in doubt pull up the website for what you are buying and double check the part number. I do this at all times.

Not sure, but buy the large. I'm 5' 8" and weigh 140 pounds. I originally bought the regular thinking it would be just fine. It just wasn't wide enough. My arms would fall to the side and touch the ground when I was sleeping and I don't like that. I ended up returning it and purchasing the large after seeing my friends large. Carry the extra ounces for more comfort. It's still a super compact, light pad but you'll sleep better having the large...
