I found the 2 inch worked for me to a point. I found that the bede under must be reasonably firm. Thickness depends on the size of the person.

This is firm for a form mattress but I still need large pieces of heavy cardboard under it.

I was told the 2" was best......and I think that's right. I had the same problem...

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 had a terrible time! Amazon was very good refunding my money but could not get me the bed and trundle. 3 tries. Finally I contacted the bed manufacturer who gave me a furniture store in our small town who ordered it for me. Came quick and I think under 150.00. Big pain but end results look great. So I got cheapest one on amazon and then ordered trundle. Mattresses cheapest at SAMs. If you need pic let me know! .

We bought the 3 lb this time and my husband loves it, it is a little too firm for me and I wish we would have bought the 2.5, if you do not want to sink much , the 3 lb is probably why you are looking for.

Mine is very firm; I also have it on plywood. My 3 inch was soft and it bottomed out and the plywood was hard. I have the 3 inch on the 5 inch and it is soft yet supportive now.

I believe you would still find the bed very firm. It is on my son"s bed and he described it like this yesterday, "if I lay there long enough, it will mould to my body but if I roll over, I feel like I am on a table.". I believe we will be removing the topper this weekend. He finds the mattress softer without it. spend a little bit more money and get a better quality one

If you are very light (less than 110lbs (50kilos), definitely go with the 3inch topper. Also, if your mattress is especially lumpy, again go for the 3 inch pad. A 2 inch topper is not adequate to hide mattresses' imperfections.So after all that, I say go with the 3 inch one. Good luck and let us know how it works out for you!Pete

Hi, We bought the bed and have been using it for less than a year. It may have sagged a little bit or gotten softer (the difference?) and it feels not as supportive as once it arrived. After rotate the bed, it feels it were the original, it will get softer in 2 weeks, and you have rotate it again. I is still monitoring this to see if the repeated rotation would keep the bed firm as it was. The comfort of your back in the morning is the key indication...Henry

You need to buy a separate mattress! A firm one, better for the baby's back!

I think the low loft is best for sleeping on your back. That's what I have and love it for that, it is too low for side sleeping though. Doesn't seem like your problem though! ;)

I got the 4" for my daughter to use on top of her dorm mattress. The dorm mattresses are terrible. She loves the 4".We had a 2", which was fine for me; but my husband who is a big guy, did not feel any difference. So, we got the 4" - my husband loves the 4" and so do I. We use the 2" for the guestroom bed.Since you have a good mattress already, I believe either the 3" or 2" would be fine. However, I recommend getting the 3" instead of the 2".

The best choice would be a bunk board. That's what mines on. Even if the wood slats are very close together, there still is space and that's not too good for a memory foam mattress (especially one that's 10 inches thick).

What is considered supportive or comfy is so subjective. Those were pretty much my requirements also, and I chose the 6. I am in love with my bed! Talk to Chuck about your sleeping habits and he will help you choose the right bed for you.

I agree with Chris. My bed is really firm and also new, and I find the topper makes it more comfortable. It's a medium amount of "squish," so if you want an ultimate pillowtop feel, maybe go with a thick all memory foam topper.

For me, i just put it on the floor and sleep from there. Box springs is up to u as a preference. Honestly, i wish i bought a firmer mattress. This is a bit soft for my taste.

I can't see too many people liking the low loft to be honest. Firm and high loft gives the best support IMO.
