It contains a loose cotton stuffing. It's not hard and is fine to sit on. I haven't noticed any problems while gaming for a few hours or so, but I tried to sleep on it, and it was extremely uncomfortable. I ended up buying a memory foam and pillow top cover for it. If you have a world market by you, they have a studio day bed ( same style as the one in question) made of wood, with a exceptionally more comfortable cushion for 400$. It's also on their website. I really regret not buying it instead of this.

The mattress is about 4 inches thick, and it seems to be made of firm foam. I find the futon very comfortable, but I am bit short and small.

Pretty thick, no clue what kinda foam. the only issue from a sitting perspective is enough back pillows and them moving around a bit - but pretty easy to resolve. The bottom cushion that you sit/sleep on is thick and nice.

The mattress is medium thickness, but kind of hard and goes flat easily. I would honestly spend the money and get a better couch/futon. It's what I had to end up doing!

It's a soft sit. I don't know what it's filled with. The product is OK, but I do not love it.

Wow, RS, thank you so much for starting this thread. I'm allergic to most polyester fill and fabric (asthma and contact dermatitis) and was thinking of buying it only because they stated it was 100% cotton shell and fill. All cotton is hard to find at this sale price so I was going to buy it as a back up to my current one that's really held up well in 1.5 decades of use.

The mattress isn't firm. It is on the softer. My mattress filled up pretty quickly, but didn't completely fill out the sheet for a day or so. When it was fully set, it was much thicker than expected.

Here's what I said in my review, "It may be thin relative to a standard king size pillow but is not even close to being really thin. " This is as thin a foam pillow I've found but it's still too thick for me. If anyone knows of one thinner, please reply to this query and let everyone know... Thanks

I know this was asked a while ago, but I emailed the seller after I received the mattress (which, I have only been sleeping on for two days but am very happy with so far). They emailed back that the 7-inch base layer of high-density foam is a 4lb density... not sure about the others, but the base layer is most important when determining the overall durability, comfort, etc. I consider 4lb to be perfect for me, as that is on the medium-firm side.

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!

This is 3" thick, and I thought of medium support. It went on top of a very firm mattress and made it feel like a nice memory foam mattress. I have two Tempurpedic beds. This was for my daughter's apartment. Made an uncomfortable bed feel awesome. So, I would say medium-soft density.

The mattress is 5 inches thick and the covering is some kind of blueish-grey synthetic fabric. I looked for the tag that should tell me exactly what it's made of but I couldn't find it.

I bought the mattress. I went to the makers site and read allthe specs there. It is very informative. Go there and find your answer.

Our memory foam feels soft to us but was semi hard when we got it. So it has softened up. I have been dead set against memory form after trying memory foam mattresses in a store. I would get on the bed and have to fight my way out of the ditch my body made. I feel the Lucid is soft now but doing its job. It seems to let me roll out easier than a full foam mattress. The three inch should make your mattress softer after about a week. I love ours now. Check to see if it can be returned if you are not satisfied and remember mine is on a fabric mattress. It takes a few days to fill out after you open it. Our memory foam feels soft to us but was semi hard when we got it. So it has softened up.

mine has been great and such a joy re sleep and comfort. it appears and seems to be 4 inch of gel foam to me and all the same stuff by the looks and feel. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for comfort and sleep. fits well with the mattress that I have and will spread out the usefulness for quite awhile I think. good luck with you decision and for me, I would recommend it.

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

The included mattress might be an inch thick, no more. It appears to be a plastic pad, exactly like what I slept on for naptime in kindergarten, if that's helpful. I didn't use the included mattress and got the organic one instead. It's a bit thicker, 1.5", and made of organic wool, latex, and wood. It's more sturdy and cushy.

The mattress is the full 8" thick-just took a tape measure to it to verify. FYI all futons and mattresses will lose height with use as you're compacting the material - that's why it's good to turn the mattress over and even rotate it end to end periodically to even out the normal wear. This particular futon mattress has an inner spring so it wears more evenly as weight is distributed better than with a non-inner spring futon. I've used futon mattesses for over 30 years and this one's my favorite. I ordered mine last summer - you may want to contact the seller and verify that it's the same product. Hope that helps.

It says it is made of 100% polyester. it has a quilted feel to it though, very soft. I like it personally for our playard. Only problem is that it tends to bend up the bassinet mattress which I don't care for. But overall, its a good product.

I also would like to know more info about this mattress. The two sections of the product description even seem to contradict each other. I may buy this, but I still have my old bed. I really don't want to take a gamble on having to return such a cumbersome item. Any way to talk to a live person who knows something about this mattress ?
