Really how hard is the foam? I see reviews says it like rock, it cuts off circulation? I like firm so my leg don't sink. is it like a square box ?

My husband uses this all the time. It is hard enough to keep its shape for several months now, but is comfortable enough to sleep with every day. He has not had any problems with circulation being cut off. There is a slanted edge in front for your thighs to rest on. The shape seems really to fit well for us.

It's ultra firm, so my legs never leave a depression in it. I just lay a soft towel over it. It doesn't cut off my circulation.

It is very firm. At least for me it was and my legs were swollen from my pregnancy! It never cut off my circulation at all. This leg elevator was just what i needed.Its not square it had like a "L" shape so u can elevate your legs. Its exactly like in the picture. It has a slope. Its great it worked great for me

My foam pillow is firm, not rock hard, but holds up my legs. It is kind of square with a point on one end. I use the flat side up agenst the back of my thighs with my leg from knee down on top of the pillow in order to do leg exercises. I will use it when I get my artificial ankle joint to help circulation. I like mine. No complaints.

It's just the right 'firmness' and does not cut off circulation. As the other reviewers said, there's a slant to it, so it works great for elevation. On the other hand, it is not like memory foam.

I didn't keep it. We gave it to a charity. It was way to large for what my husband wanted. I got one from a sales catalog that came in the mail that he liked a lot better.

The foam is firm, but not like a rock. I got the idea while visiting my physical therapist for therapy. I like it a lot, and use it for occasional afternoon naps. It takes stress off your back, which feels good..

I have think legs, but I honestly have never felt like it cut off my circulation. I slept on with my legs elevated for hours and slept quite comfortably. I read the reviews before buying and was apprehensive when I read about someone finding it hard to get her legs over it because she's short. I'm short (5'4") and had no problems. I really like it, but it does take a lot of room on the bed because it's quite large. I love it.

Sorry for the delay. I'm on vacation and had to text my sister a few timexones away to ask. She said its closer to foam. "It's firm but not plastic." Hope this helps! Cheers!

foam and it is definitely better than a coil mattress. think I will get another one, since they are half of what I paid a few months ago.

You will not sink into it. It is firm, but not hard. It really is a super comfortable mattress. Definitely do not hesitate.

Its plush... not fluffy not dense. It has enough give to be comfortable but not so much you sink into it. Hope it works for you. This is a tide me over till I can get a great mattress. One month down and still working.

It sinks a little but it is definitely not a memory foam. Like I said in my previous review, it seems to be that firmness is a very personal thing. Some people feel this is too firm for them.After my back went out again in January I placed a piece of plywood between the mattress and this foam and I have been sleeping like that ever since. For some people this would be unbearable but it works for me. I hope this helps.

Hi. My daughter said "It is squishy, but will still support you if you fall. ". Hope this helps.

It's firm but not stiff, my son isnt heavy enough to give it the "sinking" effect when laying on it, he is 24lbs 15 months and sleeps well on it, soft and cushy isn't good for their spines at this age so I opted to wait for the super "comfy" you can cover it with a nice fleece baby blanket & get a similar effect (I did this) hope I answered your concern.

It is plush on lying down-does't feel hard on my old bones-but it is not saggy. I have been sleeping on mine for 3 months and find it extremely comfortable. It is also a bit on the entertaining side when you first get it as it is folded in half lengthwise and then rolled up in clear plastic. It is heavy an it was good to have help getting it up on the box spring. Figure out which way it will unroll before you start unwrapping as it takes off and does it's thing when you start removing the plastic wrap! Poof and you have a mattress! I love mine. I loved the price.

I'm not a foam expert but I am a big guy, 6'3"/220lbs, and used it to sleep on while camping. I found it comfortable and never had a problem with 'bottoming out' in other words it never compressed to the point of feeling the ground under me. Hope that helps....

I'm a 195lb man, and even though 5.5 should be rather firm, I found it to be much too soft for my liking. (I was looking for something firm.) I had a 4" memory foam topper from my previous spring mattress that I put on top of this though, and it feels much better (firm) now. I'd say if you want something you can sink into a bit, this would be right up your alley.

It is not a hard rock, but it is VERY firm. There's give when you step on it. My daughter used it for cheer tumbling (cartwheels/roundoffs/etc).

soft... all it is is foam. you literally sink into it, and when you get up it re-forms itself. its airy, not sturdy. reminds me of those memory foam pillows (except softer)

It 's not real hard, enough for support and not leave any impression on cushion after taking my legs off of it, after all its for support. :) maybe a comparison to those swim noodles, (made of foam) not really hard, but can still float and not hurt when your hit with it. if this helps some.

I see you got some mixed results! The top of the mattress is quite soft, giving it an initial cushy feel, but the mattress is quit firm. I would agree with the "supportive" answer. Beware, the first week I got this mattress it was difficult to get out of bed, that's how awesome it is.

Linenspa makes mattress. The mattress is firm ONCE YOU SETTLE INTO IT. By that I mean you will "sink into" any memory foam mattress. As far as having a hard time turning over in it, I say NO, provided you have no mobility issues. It isn't going to be as easy as rolling over on a regular mattress but -- at the same time -- it isn't going to be as uncomfortable as a regular mattress either. Still glad I bought bed.

It's stiff and supportive. Makes a great bed with a pad and a foam mattress but for me softer is better. Should work for you. These are very well made.
