Approximately how thick is this mattress pad? Does it really make a difference? Thanks in advance!

It really does make a difference. I love it.....very comfortable. As for the thickness, it is probably 1 1/2 to 2 inches.

I'm not sure how thick it is but,it truly does raise the mattress and give you better support!I absolutely love it!!

This is a fitted mattress pad that adds a great deal of softness to the mattress. I have it on an average deep mattress which if fits adequatly. There is alot of stretch in the sides and pockets so it may stay put on a slimmer mattress but the sidewalls will likely be a bit big.

My mattress is not that thick, however, the extra material under my mattress I think would add to the extra height you have on yours. There is at least 5 extra inches of stretch material after stretching across my normal mattress. I think you will be fine. I also like this mattress pad because the elastic around the edges is not just a line of elastic it is elastic fabric which I think will give you what you may be looking for. Hope this helps.

No it doesn't but if you have fitted sheets it shouldn't matter; it seems to stay put very nicely and, personally, is the best/most comfortable (thick and soft) mattress pad out there.

The thicker the cushion you buy I think the softer it will be. I have 2 1" pads and they are soft enough for my husband. He is confined to his chair all day and it has prevented any bedsores.

I love mine. I helps me, but I have to tell you that it is not the only thing I have on there. It is about 4" thick. I also have a padded mattress cover over it, so between the two my bed is soft, but firm. The only problem I have now is having sheets that will stay on it. I am going to try some sheet clips and see if that helps. I hope this helps you.

The separate piece of foam inside the cover is 1" to 1.25" thick, as-stated by several others. I will add that it's medium-density, at best, and thus compresses very quickly and doesn't provide that much support. Better than nothing? Yes. Could it be better with thicker or higher-density foam? Definitely! I have a garden kneeling pad that's approximately the same thickness, but much more dense and rubber-like. If I were to cut a piece out of that and put it inside the cover, I'm sure it would be much more comfortable!

Mine is much thicker than that. Since it is inaccessible right now (it's in long-term storage), I can't give you an actual measurement, but I'd guess it is at least 4.5" thick. I find it firm and yet very comfortable.

It's about an inch thick. Doesn't seem like much, but it has helped my back a lot due to my five-year mattress that has lost its shape. A definite improvement. I place it on the mattress, then cover it with a protective lining ( I have pets) prior to placing my sheets down.

3 years on the pad. Don't exactly know what you mean by depth of the pad. If you mean thickness, It's what I would call average for a quilted mattress pad, thicker than the non-woven pads. If you're looking for extra padding, I would suggest a memory foam mattress pad for under this product. That's what we have. We have no problem with the length of the control cords and they reach our nightstands just fine.

It is about 2" thick and soft. Might help you giving you some cushion if your mattress is very firm. It is not helping me however. My mattress is begining to sag in the middle, so adding a soft layer on top is not the best idea I have ever had! Good luck!

The mattress I have this mattress pad on is only seven inches deep. The pad fits on themattress much better than the sheets do! The pad has elastic around the edges and can bepulled towards the middle of the underneath of the mattress as far as necessary.

2 inches. I bought this new one and ended up adding it to another two pads and enclosed them in a queen size mattress cover. This is our mattress for the moment; three 2" thick pads. It's okay. My husband has a bad back and I have arthritis in my shoulders. Some nights are better than others. I am still looking for my "dream" mattress....

I've had this mattress pad over a month with no such problems. It fits securely and tightly onto my deep mattress. If you don't have a deep mattress, however, maybe it won't fit as tightly. I just measured it for you -- with the pad on my mattress is 12 inches high. Without the pad it's about 10 inches. If you had a smaller depth of mattress, I guess it could be a problem. But maybe not because the elastic is very good.

My mattress is only 8-10 inches thick, but there is a lot of extra room with the pad. I have to tuck the pad in all the way around. So it would fit a thicker mattress.
