Could this add more firmness to a memory foam bed if placed on top?-I can't get another bed and I need anything that will help, even a sleeping bag!

Sorry but you can't add firmness to a memory foam bed by adding this on top. You could add a piece of plywood underneath to see if that might help.

I add it to our trailers bunk beds to make it more comfy for the kids but I would say that it probably won't add any firmness to an every day bed.

It's best to use this on top of your mattress. Also, this is sized as a queen. With that being said, I left mine on my stone floor to air out a few days and tried laying on it then. It was still surprisingly comfortable, but if you are not light enough you could be hitting the surface beneath the mattress topper. My advice, get a cheap mattress and place the topper on it.

I seriously doubt if this would help in your situation. We use it on top of our sleep number mattress which is adjustable. We find it extremely comfortable.

I think it might be too uncomfortable to sleep on for a month. It doesn't provide that much cushioning, and was a little stiff. Maybe if you put a foam topper or something over it, it might be okay, but just by itself might be kind of pushing it.

Perhaps a too mushy condition,would result,,at the moment this mattress provides excellent softness initiatilly,and firmness at deeper penetration weight,perhaps for a medical condition,dictating furthur absorbtion,it may be advantagious,,however for me it is perfect,as is,!!A foam Pillow set,would be my choice in the next step,for the perfect ensemble,!!Alan Moreton,!!

I just saw a thing called the "mattress helper" that help prop-up a sagging mattress, if that's what you've got going on. If, on the other hand, your mattress is too hard for your comfort, a thick, foam might be helpful. If you buy that kind of foam you'll need a cover between you and the foam - and this cover might work depending on the thickness of your mattress. I like a firm mattress with thick foam - supports you yet feels cooshy.

The mattress is firm and at the same time you will sink a bit into it. That is what memory foam does. Be sure and have the correct support for this mattress or it will change the way you sleep on it.

I think so but would suggest checking specifications on that. If you happen to lay directly where the "seam" between the two halves when laid out for a bed, it is a little uncomfortable. I did buy a pillow top mattress pad to help but it might need the egg crate type foam to something thicker. Memory foam maybe?

We bought a mattress similar to what you describe and it had several layers of memory foam on the top. It was not firm enough for us, We turned it over and it is much better. We also bought the foam you mention. I already answered that it wasn't as firm as we were led to believe. Our piece had no cover,cracked easily when rolled up. Both our purchases were from Amazon but to send these products back just is not worth the effort. They are not typical of the many things we have bought from Amazon. My conclusion to answer your question is " it wouldn't be firm enough for us".

Never tried putting a mattress on it. My guess is it would not work very well as it is not as wide as a twin mattress. We use it as a spare bed all the time but with a sleeping bag. It is very comfortable with the sleeping bag.

I have a level 6 and was worried it would be too soft, but I have a thick mattress pad on it and it still is not too soft...I might even put a 1 inch memory foam topper on it just because I am used to a bit of that 'cradle' effect, but I don' like the heat of the thick memory foam at all.

Hi, Katherine!I don't have a pillowtop, but I don't see why not. I'll warn you, this mattress is VERY firm. I ended up buying the firm 3" and put it on top of the 5" extra firm. Now I sleep wonderfully with no hip pain ( I am thin and have bony hips). Also, here's the whole picture: I have my low profile boxspring, then my 13" mattress, then the 5" foam and the 3" on top of that! I have to really lift my knee to hop in, but I love it! High and comfortable! I sincerely hope these mattress toppers work for you; I have not regretted buying mine. I'll be ordering more for my husband soon.Warm regards,Jane Hi, Katherine!I don't have a pillowtop, but I don't see why not. I'll warn you, this mattress is VERY firm.

I have it on top of what is called plush on my new mattress. I can't say I notice anything that effects the plush part of the mattress. I sleep on a memory foam when I visit my daughter and I think it would help to have this on top. But I don't know for sure.

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.

Yes, it can...and while I'm here, I want to say this is a topper I would buy again and recommend highly. I haven't been sold on memory foam but this won me over...I was visiting a relative and was crippled by their bed on the first night. I ordered this, was delivered in two days...I experienced no pain at all from the first night to the end of my two week stay. you could put this on a very hard surface, as the mattress I was on was as hard as boxsprings!

My mattress is very firm, but it is now beginning to sink where my touchy is and I 've had it for about five months now. Also, I spoke with a someone who has been selling mattresses for years and she stated, "People either love Tempurpedic or they hate it." I will personally not buy any memory foam (mattress, pillows) anymore. DONE!

We have ours on a mattress. I think it's too thin for a total mattress. You need a 6 inch thick topper for that or buy two of these. It's not hard foam it's very soft so you will also need a base for it to sit on or it will fold into the grooves of the support boards on the bed.
