ILD number does anyone knoe what the ILD number is on this bed. I know the higher the number the firmer the memory foam.

Yes, I called them and they said it is 20. For comparison, Tempur-pedics have an ILD of 13. You are right that higher ILD indicates a firmer bed.I bought the queen size version of this, and I must say I really like it. Not too firm, it gives adequate and uniform support to your back. Highly recommended.

ILD stands for "Indentation Load Deflection". It is the pounds force required on a 50 square inch disk required to deflect the foam sample by 25% (usually). For more than you want to know, see the link xxxhttp://www.pfa.org/jifsg/jifsgs4.html (take out the xxx).

Ask their company. I do know this product got the best rating. Much better than those sold at Staples, ads on TV.I just decided to use a flat-bed I already had.

I have no idea what the density is or ILD, all I can say is I've had it over a year now and it hasn't broken down or become too squishy. It definitely is for people who like the soft bed feel without screwing up their back. It's great for hard beds.

The people at Linenspa are very helpful. Call them 800 560-9239 and ask about weight limit. In my research about buying memory foam I read that 400+ lbs weight should buy at least 12 or 14 in. mattress with at least 7 inches of support foam. This mattress has 8 inches support foam.You might also want to look at their 14 and 16 inch mattresses. Also, I think it might make a difference as to what kind of base you are going to use whether it be box spring or platform. Ask them. They'll tell you.As far as any indention I have not had a problem so far but may over time. I plan on turning it every couple of weeks 180 degrees. The people at Linenspa are very helpful.

My Husband is in the 250# range. He finds the bed very comfortable and sturdy. I would call the number and ask what number would be best for your needs.

You can contact the manufacturer for those details. This is by far the very BEST mattress I have ever purchased and it was a fraction of the cost of the traditional ones. I will never ever use a conventional mattress again.

i don't have anything to measure that exactly but if seems like it about medium-firm in density for both layers. but the top memory foam layer seems like it might be softer than the base layer. when on my side with my elbow straight down pointing into the mattress the ILD seems is minimal compared to any spring mattress or couch cushion.

I can't really help you on this. I filed our warranty and receipts away already. If it helps, we are really pleased with our purchase. It smells for the first few days and is pretty firm for a week or so. Its not so now and my husband's neck and back don't bother him at night anymore. Even my kids love the new bed. I'm sorry if I wasn't much help.

Hey I would contact the seller via email and let them know. The instructions are simple and just one page. The bed is still going strong here so it is worth the effort. They should be able to send you a copy or you can type in product info on google to see if instructions are online. Good luck

One side is memory foam, the other is just dense foam. If you push your hand into it and the imprint stays there a little bit before rebounding, you have it right side up. On the queen, that would be the blue side. PS, the loose cover that ties on is only meant to keep the mattress clean during shipping/moving.

I like this bed. After a year I have had no problems. But I have a foam mattress and am considering a getting a new mattress which may be heavier. I'd like to know if anyone has had problem with a heavier mattress.

Each layer is a different density, giving more or less support and comfort. I would suggest you contact the manufacturer directly and ask them. The company makes numerous types of beds. You can find there phone number on there web site www.dreamfoambedding.com. They are very friendly and helpful.

Oh please don't ask me as I sent mine back and never ordered again. It's merely foam, no support nor comfort it is not what it states, reason for my return. See handprint? Yeah, well don't expect it to come up as it's merely foam not memory foam, read on memory foam it must contain viscose, this doesn't nor do many now advertising as memory foam. Just use search on memory foam, not to any site but contents. Good Luck! I bought 4 before getting one that helped, as my prior, which lasted 9 years. It was true memory foam

No matter - the foam will give way and crack after a few months. It loses support at the edges (loses the "squareness") I would NEVER buy another LUCID or LINEN SPA foam mattress. Mine from March 2013 started cracking in the gel foam on top - the edge lost firmness and you roll off. No support after a few months. LUCID refused to honor 25 year warranty after requesting pictures of cracked foam. LINEN SPA was no help either. Let me know if you want to see the correspondence. I'm gonna find a more reputable company.

Hi Mary. Well, I bought two mattresses, a full and a queen sizes.Both of them, have two layers. The top one that is the side you lay down is about 2" of memory foam. And 8" Of very dense foam. Believe me, I have chronic back pain and since I started to use this kind of mattresses 2 months ago, I have less soreness in my lower back. It's incredibly the comfort and feeling when I sleep on it. One tip: once you unwrapp the mattress, place it in the bed's frame. To make the shape and contour more exact and precise to the mattress.If you decide to buy it, enjoy it. Hi Mary. Well, I bought two mattresses, a full and a queen sizes.Both of them, have two layers.
