Is this foam too firm to replace the foam in the seat and back cusions of a section sofa? Also should we go with 6"?

will 6" fit in the space you have? are you replacing foam with foam, or was the original material foam? It is firm, but I used it on a love seat, and it worked well, because the original material was quite like it.

The foam is very firm. The wedge worked better for me under my memory foam mattress rather than on top of it.

We got a 6 and you can feel the bars if sleeping on it. But OK if just the couch. 8 should work great.

I have had the couch for about four months now. The sofa is soft/firm. Please also note the following: The couch was bought as an addition to my "Man Cave". It is not used very much and thus I cannot tell you how well it will hold its firm-ness under normal daily use.Take Care.

I would go with the 3" at least for that...the 2" might help, but if it was buying one now for you purpose I would get the 3"...it is very firm and will give a better protection to that bar...you would think they would have invented something better for a sofabeds by now...

I would not describe the sofa as firm. In fact the back pillows have an issue with being squashed it down as you sit on the sofa. I also cannot say that this sofa is supportive. I would describe it as soft and comfy.

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.

I would give the seat a perfect scale of not too soft and not too hard upon delivery. You need to understand the seat cushions are constructed of some type of memory "foam" and it is not forgiving. I bought this love seat and it was my worst furniture purchase ever.

I purchased this foam for a Ikea sofa bed. I find it quite comfortable as a mattress, my sister thought it was too firm.

I you cover it you may want thinner thickness, 5" is thick and firm, we used it for a mattress in the back seat of a truck

It's extra firm. We are using it at the back of a sofa because the depth was too much. It doesn't "squish." It's like the back of an ordinary sofa without cushions; we have put them in front of thee cushion.

It does not seem to loose it's firmness. I guess if you sat or slept in one spot it may eventual get a dent, but mine has not yet. Keep it covered, clean and away from direct sunlight. The sunlight will breakdown the foam after a while so I keep it covered.

My husband is 6 foot tall, but uses the cushion because of his bad hip. So I guess it really depends on how cushy you need it. I am 5'3 myself and would probably just order the 4." He does like the cushion and we take it where he has to sit in low seats, theaters, etc. that don't have much height or padding. So, if you have really low seats you sit in and are using the cushion to add extra height for sitting and or more cushy on the tushy then maybe order the 6" one. I don't know, really is lifestyle and how much cushion you need?

You should be able to cut this unit to fit a smaller object such as chair, lounge or whatever you wish. You will probably want to buy the smallest possible or as close to the size you need as possible. Personally, I would try to find a firmer cession if possible and go with dense foam under it; it's not firm enough.

I would go for the 3" pad and put a $30-40 mattress cover on top. The cover keeps everything in place even during activity on the bed.Yes it will soften up a firm mattress about 20% (I have a 2" pad which I really like, I am 5'9" at 175lbs)

The foam is firm, but has a "sink into it" quality in my opinion. I used it as deck seating cushions, and just used it replace a bench cushion. It is very comfortable for seating, has just enough give.

Use an 8 inch minimum because of the wooden slots , A 10 inch wood be better.I would not recommend a foam mattress which is too soft, rather one with a sturdy filling.
