Does this conform to your body allowing your hips & shoulders to sink while supporting your middle? Is it real memory foam or just normal foam?

It is perfect for side sleepers, which is why I purchased it. I no longer wake with me shoulders sore having to roll over. It is real memory foam and it's perfect luxury. I had no odors to deal with either. Yes, and yes to both your questions. The only issue I do have at times is that it warms up from your body temp. which is not so good for hot flashes. I tempered the issue by putting a decent mattress cover over it. This issue is minor considering the comfort it gives me. Hope this was helpful : )

It does conform and it's memory foam. I flip this foam every time I change the sheets to avoid it from collapsing in just one spot.

it most definitely conforms. i'm a heavier person, but even my kids sunk down in it a bit. it FEELS great, and yes, it does almost feel like you're in a comfortable supported position when lying down. i just noticed after a few nights that my hip and back felt worse....almost like when i attempted to roll over onto my stomach or side as i always sleep, is when i ran into issues.

I have fibromyalgia and I love it ... has just the right support ... doesn't hold heat like the old one did ... worth every penny!

well, when my husband and i first laid down, it was awesome! and it was great when lying on my back and watching tv....but i think it was just too soft, BUT - that being said, we have a tempurpedic mattress already. so i think if it was on a regular mattress, it would have been perfect - but the mushy top with the mushy tempurpedic just didn't work.

Medium to firm. The memory foam allows us to slowly sink into the mattress. It conforms to our individual body contours and gives firm support of the back.

I got a 6-inch memory foam for both the full and twin trundle parts.... It's okay, but, since the support for the bed are wooden pieces, once they splinter and snap, the bed sinks in... And it's rather uncomfortable....

for me, it give ample support . it does not collapse much because of the inner removable dense memory foam core. (make sure to break it up before inserting. it comes packed tight like a brick and requires fluffing)

I have one that has both. I also have one that has memory foam only. I think they are both fine. both are about 4 inches thick, that's important.

I will say it depends on what you are doing with it. If its something like yoga, where you need something relatively thick and sturdy to support you as you maintain a position, I would say then yes it would be too thick and you would sink. But if its like a floor work-out like crunches, then i think this is a better alternative because it offers a good buffer between your bones and the hard floor. With a carpet, you would most likely "sink" in most situations. It is already almost an inch thick, adding another half an inch of carpet... well you get the idea.

No. It is memory foam. It goes back to its original shape and it is not an over thick, too high pillow. I am petite and only 5'1" tall and this pillow is perfect for me. My husband is 6' and he loves his too.

It isn't memory foam but it is comfortable enough. You really don't spend much time on it even if you use it everyday. The real issue should be how comfortable are the ankle holders. I use thick socks and pad the area with a small towel. Regardless of comfort level the benefit of a back that doesn't hurt any more is the real issue and the Ironman Gravity 2000 Inversion table delivers that for me.

I'd say that it is firm, and may feel a bit too firm the first 2 nights. The memory foam layer is only two inches thick, so we don't sink in very far. After the first few nights its really comfortable even for side sleepers.

The tag says it is made of urethane foam. I don't know what that is, but it is about medium firmness. It is not stiff but it does not sink in when I put my knees on it. I do wish it were a little taller so that my feet are elevated off of the bed just a bit. I wish I could afford one like my physical therapist had which was high and firm and EXPENSIVE. Nevertheless, I am pleased with the product.

Firmness is related to what mattress you put this on. If you put it on a firm mattress then it will make it give a little where you stick out, like your shoulder, hips, etc. It won't make you sink in a lot though. If you put it on a soft mattress then you will sink in as well. I'm much larger than my wife and I like it more, so I don't think its related to weight. My wife has arthritis and she really wants a mattress that sinks in more, like a full memory foam mattress. This top will make a firm mattress feel better in the morning without losing support, but it won't turn it into a low support mattress. Firmness is related to what mattress you put this on.

When we lay in ours it sinks down and supports everything. So I would say soft

I was not impressed with the foam density of this cushion. I'm 210lbs and I just sank down to the hard board. Used it for a while but always with another cushion. Much happier with the Hermell Products Hip Cushion, 6-Inch. Good dense foam that does not allow me to sink but is also giving enough to be comfortable while seated for long periods. It does keep you raised which is great if you have longer legs.

It is a high density foam. We went from a 4 inch low density to this and we can not believe how comfortable it is. It has some give but is very supportive. I don't feel like I was climbing out of hole when I moved on it.

It has enough weight on the "arm" thingies that rest over your shoulders that it tends to stay in place. I have more of a problem with it shifting when I go from upright to laying down, but that's to be expected. Overall, I am very pleased with this product. I have Fibromyalgia, and my neck and shoulders really bother me. Using this helps prevent my tight neck and shoulders from turning into a headache.

No, the cushion holds its shape and does not "sink." My husband sits on it most of the day and it does fine.

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..
