my firm spring mattress is killing my back. Will this help? How thick is it?

YES, I had the same problem. Problem solved! It's about an inch or two, but makes a world of difference. One of my best investments. Just make sure to fluff and flip when you change sheets, to keep the loft!

I do not like firm mattresses myself ..I have a beauty rest mattress..but my back was bothering me. .I added this topper & was surprisingly pleased..It is about 3 inches thick..but it works great for me..it is hard to find a product that actually works..I love it

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.

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!

It DEFINTELY will. My mattress was to hard too. I can't wait to get into bed and snuggle down now with this on it. I'm loving it. Free shipping for Prime and 2 day delivery. Be sure to let it breath for a day or 2. Just think.. U can sleep cozy in 4 days from now.

About 2 to 3 inches not very thick. My sister that needs a hip replacement can not sleep on the the bed that has this on it even though the matress underneath is a pillow top. If you want more comfort support for your self, your family or a guest go to a 4 inch or higher memory foam topper. My husband uses a twin size one at the firehouse he got from Amazon that has an egg creat and memory foam mattress that makes it 6 inches and it does not hurt his back.

I've had mine for only a couple of months now but it's very firm which I figured a low end mattress would lose the firmness faster so ill deal with it until then. Its comfy but stiff. And it is not foamy has a little spring bounce. For the price I'm happy. Back has started to feel better since I got it. My okd one was a soft thin cheap pillow top that sunk in two years

Not very thick...its actually very thin... but when you lay on it you will feel a big difference especially if you have a really hard bed.

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.

Slightly. If the pad were a bit thicker it could be even better. It Definetly does not bake you and might provide a slight cooling effect. If you have a very firm mattress and want something to take away the ultra firmness. This isn't the pad for you.

I could be way off here, but all I can go on is my own experience. The firmness seems to be a function much more of the mattress than of the box spring. My own experience was that the only difference I noticed was a decided change in stability that no doubt came from the fact that the old box spring was pretty run down. But I did not change the mattress and thus did not notice any great difference in the feel of the bed while I slept. I'd strongly suggest waiting for more responses, though, to see whether mine was representative.

I can't make any promises, Patricia. In the case of my own mattress it didn't appear to be sagging, but I could feel it when I would lay down on it. If your side is sunk in as you say, this memory foam topper may not give you all the support that you need. It might make it somewhat better, but then again it might not provide all the improvement that you need. You might be better off applying the cost of the topper towards a new mattress.

I believe this mattress to be medium in firmness. I weigh around 320lbs and it works well enough... could be a little more firm, but is much better than my old coil-spring mattress (no more stiff joints and back pain). If I had to do it again, I would probably purchase an 8-10 inch foam mattress... less material to compress (sink into) for someone my size. I also purchased a proper base for this mattress as well. It could be a little more firm for my preference, but I'd give it an 8.5 out of 10. Other than that, it's great.

Its definitely a firm mattress! A bit too much got my liking and I usually prefer firm.

It is the height/thickness of the mattress, not the firmness. Firmness depends on the layers in between, read the label carefully.

I have a really firm mattress and I'm a back sleeper and husband is a side sleeper and this was not enough for either of us. It's quit thin and compresses to be nearly non existent

I wanted to add that you should base your purchase on the firmness you desire...it is VERY firm for a foam mattress. We returned ours.

It is smooth, but not a solid frame. I have my mattress only it, no box springs and works perfect. Is the memory foam more flimsy or how thick is it? My mattress is about 14 inches thick.

Did it help your back? I am buying it for the same reason to cover my firm tempur mattress which gives me soooooo much back ache

It seems firm enough to me and I put a heavy double sided pillow top mattress on it. It supports it just fine and I don't see any way to adjust the springs. If you want it really firm I would suggest putting a plywood sheet on it and the mattress you use on top of that. Hope my answer helps.
