I read that 5 lbs density would wear less.. wouldn't that be better than 4lbs? I'm a bigger guy... 300 lbs.

I haven't read that anywhere, but I haven't had any issues after almost 6 months of use. My mattress is still firm (comfortable) after all that time, including laying in bed while working on a laptop for long periods of time as well.

The density was said to be 5.0. I thought that would have a fair amount of resistance but each person in my family of various weights just sank into it. Unuseable. I don't know the origin of the material.

They worry too much. There is nothing to sag. Stay within the weight requirements and there won't be any problems. There is literally nothing that would allow sagging.

If your weight close or over 275 lb I think you should looking for other more expensive, heavyer products. I really don't know what will happen if the person who's weight reach or over that limit to use it.

Good morning. It would probably depend on the weight of the person using the mattress. A heavy person would tend to cause heavier wear. However, these mattresses are very well made and should last for a long time-- even with every-night use-- as long as you take care of them. (Please note that I have not tried this. Our grandkids used them for four nights and loved them.)

I know this was asked a while ago, but I emailed the seller after I received the mattress (which, I have only been sleeping on for two days but am very happy with so far). They emailed back that the 7-inch base layer of high-density foam is a 4lb density... not sure about the others, but the base layer is most important when determining the overall durability, comfort, etc. I consider 4lb to be perfect for me, as that is on the medium-firm side.

30 inch has more Buoyancy and can carry more weight. Safety should be number 1 priority, so I would choice the 30 inch

THis is a pretty inert item. Still comfy- no impressions from one 190 lb human and one 125 lb human. It tears very easily but ours hasnt torn. It mostly tears when one is moving it around because it is so heavy.I LOVE mine. getting the more dense 5 lb kind is important- more comfortable and lasts longer.

I believe that the foam density is not stiff enough to hold up to weight lifting. It would probably break down quickly.

People always say it's ONLY after weight and that you'll gain it back. But this is not all together true. Sweat generation while working out is a direct correlation with heat build up AND energy dissipation. So, in the end you do --with consistency drop both water weight AND mass weight. If you're amenable to something even better (it's what I do) use Albolene (way less expensive, but just as effective -- though Sweet Sweat gives off larger sweat globs), atop that use plastic wrap/saran wrap, THEN the waist belt, then I put on a long sleeve T before I wear a Kutting weight shirt (sold on Amazon - go 2 sizes above your normal size). I later added the Kutting weight pants too(again go 2-3 pant sizes up). Now do 10-15 min intensive cardio, then take a 15 min walk. You will not believe what you'll see sweat-wise. Do it 3-4 times a week for 2 months and you'll come back to thank me later. The Kuttting weight products are a bit steep for price but absolutely worth every cent. The waist belt (and Kutting weight products)is made of neoprene/velcro material. They're meant to trap body heat. Now, you stomach area has the poorest blood supply in the body thus easier for the gut to store fat since poor circulation guarantees less fuel burnt in that area during exercise.By trapping the heat in that area, your body is forced to compensate by causing the vessels to dilate, more blood to flow to get rid of that heat with the accompanying generation of sweat to cool down that area. Your body is now "forced" into using those fat stored in the "love handles" which it had been storing up.So yes, calories are burning, water is being shed, and weight is slowly but surly being lost AT a faster rate. Finally, factor in food consumption too. Less fast/junk foods the faster to reaching your goal. Hope this helped.

For that temp range mid-weight would be way too much for me. I would go for several light layers. Your insulation needs will vary widely during hiking, resting etc. so it will be the old story of layer up and layer down.

Ahoy Dave,370 only choice...larger, thicker material, carries more weight better.........just a lot of fun....frineds with rigid shell yaks..laugh..until they try my 370.....most comfortable ride ever, track suprisingly well... buy the Delux, with blue strap seats. others totally worthless......Captain Lance..

I'm not sure what you mean by what density, but it seems to adjust to body weight. We have had this on our bed for about a month and a half and we like it very much. We get a good nights sleep.

My load is 300 lbs and over my 400 mile trip, I didn't have any issues at all. Can't really say about 350, but I would think you'd be fine, but be careful about road humps, bumps, etc. Hopefully you'll get another response from someone with a bit more weight.

My husband had carried out 36 lb yr old. He said it was like carrying a hiking pack that heavy. You get to a point where if your body isn't used to carrying that much weight it will always be uncomfortable because it's too much for your body. He had no problem with it. He carries that much weight hiking frequently.

Hello Rose, how big is the box and how dense does it have to be? We have 2 lb., 4 lb. and 8 lb. density. It needs to be 70 degrees and above to use in order for the product to work properly. - Thank you, FGCI Customer Service

We had the 5", 3 lb. first on one bed and put the 3", 5 lb. on another. I feel the 3", 5 lb. is better. I can't really comment on the 2" since I have not tried it, but I don't believe sinking too far would be a problem with any of them. I think you might have the experience of possibly not getting the full benefit of the memory foam with a two inch, but I'm really not sure. We love the three inch. Hope this helps.
