Does this cushion provide support for sitting up in bed where the mattress is too soft, or does it just increase the tendency to slide forward?

Yes. It slides in the stressless chair, but that is on leather. I am not sure what it will do on sheets.

I suspect not. - It didn't work on a standard desk chair. - I would explore something with a little more support.

I'm not sure that it would provide any support in that situation because the cushion is pretty soft itself and is flexible from side to side.

I would say that it totally depends on the mattress. My futon cushion is actually 2 of the Wal-mart cushions from their (crappy) store brand futons, and while it doesn't slide off, it does "bunch" at the hinge in the center. I've compensated for that by hooking the full fitted sheet I use as a cover over the corners of the wooden frame and it's not a big problem.

This cushion was a lifesaver for me. I fell and cracked my tailbone and could not stand the pain when I sat down until I purchased this item. It is a fairly firm foam, so should be able to relieve the pressure when you sit on it.Hope it helps you!

may be is the type of cover you have, or you are a little bit unstable while sitting. I order this same cushion for my patient some months back and he is doing fine with it. I suggest that you use cloth or fabric cover on it.

This will not provide support. My husband and I tried this in the same manner you are asking about. It did not seem too hot, feathers did not stick us, however we didn't use it for more than a couple days because it did not make a difference in the cushion feel I expected from my mattress.

Yes. My mattress was so firm it was making my hips sore because i sleep on my side. This made a huge difference in the softness. It's really a nice product.

Yes, my futon mattress slides forward all the time if I have it in couch mode, but is mainly used as a spare bed, works great for that. If you want to keep it in couch mode all the time, I would suggest getting some sort of non-slip mat or non-slip material to put under futon, that might hold it in place or some wood pieces at each end to hold ends of futon to keep from moving forward. Good Luck. I am going to try some non-slip material when in couch mode, I'll see what happens

I only have used the lite and it's great in my recliner. Have not used in my bed as of yet. To me I think it would be more stable being a bit thicker in the cushion. My mom saw mine and she loves it too so I bought her one!

I wouldn´t say it provides firm support. It makes the top layer softer. If your mattress is too hard on top this product will make it softer. The firmness depends on the rest of the support (your mattress).

When I sit in the chair, I feel it supporting my lower back. The back curves in to give support, but there isn't anything extra there. [special pillow or pump] It would depend on how much lumbar support you need. It works well for me.

I was not impressed with the foam density of this cushion. I'm 210lbs and I just sank down to the hard board. Used it for a while but always with another cushion. Much happier with the Hermell Products Hip Cushion, 6-Inch. Good dense foam that does not allow me to sink but is also giving enough to be comfortable while seated for long periods. It does keep you raised which is great if you have longer legs.

I honestly can't answer your question if this cushion will help your back and hip pain. It has helped me, especially in the car. I've bought several of this style of cushion. Bed, Bath, and Beyond has one in the store that I bought because I had to have it that day. It works but is not as thick as this one and therefore doesn't provide as much cushion.

Yes. No problem. Its just like a futon couch cushion, but thinner, softer and is a queen instead of a full.

I have never used it in a soft bed. I use it for support in a recliner. I have a hump from prednisone use so I suspect my use is different from most people. Sorry I can't be more help.

It's supposed to add breathing room between the child's face and mattress but it definitely adds some nice cushion to the mattress as well. I personally purchased for the cushion since my mattress was overly firm. I'm definitely not disappointed.

I use this only in my chair after a back injury. it is soft and comfortable and takes pressure off the spine. dont know if it will be effective in bed.

It is really designed to make your bed more like an armchair so you can read easily in bed. That said, I've fallen asleep reading in bed now that I have this backrest bc I am comfortable. It is a bit on the small side so it may be hard to add regular pillows.
