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...

you should check the product dimensions and measure it from the floor up. thereafter, tell your husband to simulate pushing a horizontal bar from that height. If he is not comfortable, then he won't like it. some tall guys are alright. I think it might have to do with the elasticity of the shoulders or the bulkiness of the muscles.

I own a 3 inch and a 2 inch. My 2 inch is in the guest room and i have to say... it would work well for a back sleeper but the 3 inch is very comfortable (on my bed) for the side sleeper. It also depends on the size of the individual. My guess would be the heavier the person.. the thicker the pad? My husband is 190 pounds and the 2 or 3 inch works great.

I put the 2" on a top a not so good mattress in my teenager's room and he loves it. If the mattress is real hard I would probably go with 3 inch if you like your bed to feel soft.

I bought this and it was the right width (maybe with an inch to spare, I think, but good enough) but ~3 inches too short, so maybe start there? The bed is actually even better than it seems - we are really pleased with it, as is our son!Sleep Master iCoil 6 Inch Spring Mattress, Twin

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".

I cant comment on your numbers for most others or my own pad, but I know its working for me. The mattress I replaced with the memory foam king was a plush, so Im more inclined towards soft than you. My new mattress was too soft, and this helped a lot.

I always use it the floor because i fgured that its important to have a flat surface so that the plastic spikes can really push in and stimulate circulation in the back. I find that if i lay on the floor and put my feet up on my couch it helps my low back from getting stiff. Ive never tried a bed or recliner so i really cant speak on that. It might be effective also. I hope i was helpful :-)

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

My husband and I are both a bit shorter and 100# lighter, but honestly, it is so firm, I would give it a try. Its pretty darned firm. The wedge is really solid foam and then the top of the foam wedge is a 1" layer of softer foam, which makes it more comfortable and can fit our bodies better. I like it so much and I would guess it will be just fine for you. At any rate, there's a good chance it will make you happy and if it doesn't, return it. Amazon is great for that. Its worth the gamble and I suspect you will be on the winning side. Good luck!

I have purchased all three and the three and four inch were just to soft. Plus your bedding is most likely not going to fit. The two inch worked best for us, not too soft, but still helped with the back and hip pain. Again, this was just me and my husband but even our grand kids did not like the 3 and 4 inch foam.

I guess I'd say "firm"; the coils cannot be felt at all. That being said, we have found that the bed has "center-sagged" after less than three months. To be fair, both my wife and I are large people, with a combined weight of close to 700#. For the money we spent, the mattress was a decent purchase, but we would definitely spend much more in order to get a bed that can stand up to the extra weight load over a long period of time.

Our topper is on a 'firm' mattress. My husband is satisfied with the amount of 'softness' but I feel that I need more. Also, I find that the topper falls over the edge of my bed a little where I get in and out. My bed is very tall.

a firm mattress foundation is good or you can go with just a metal rack bedframe. I ordered this bed with this bedframe. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005WXNTLM/ref=oh_details_o07_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc;=1
