If you put this in top of a memory foam mattress or a soft spring mattress does it make it feel firm?

I put on top of my old mattress, and it worked great!I don't have a memory foam or a pillow top, but I think it will make it feel firmer.

Yes, I agree that it feels firm, but not in a rock-hard way. You can feel it begin to conform to you. If you don't like firmness, try softening with a mattress pad that is lofty, or a pillow top, or a feather bed.

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.

Mine feels quite soft. I find it very comfortable. Firmness is relative and subjective though and I don't know what your original feels like.

This is not a true memory foam mattress. It is a foam-like core (not springs), but it does not feel firm and dense like memory foam. This is a soft bed. I would not suggest this mattress for heavier adults or for couples to share. I bought this for my teenage daughter and she has been raving about it's comfort. I slept on the mattress last night, while she was having a sleepover, to test it out and she's right. It is incredibly comfortable; especially for the price!

In my experience it was, and still is a firm topper. I never did feel like I was sinking into it. It just took me a couple of nights to get used to its unique "feel." I am a somewhat large person (6' 1"/240lbs) and I wouldn't be without this topper.

With springs you can usually feel the coils when you lay down on the mattress or sit on it. Unless it has a top cushion on the spring mattress, the springs are very obvious. The memory foam has a more "consistent" hold to it where it doesn't bounce as much as the spring and is often much more comfortable. Go to a local mattress store and lay on the memory foam beds. You'll feel the difference. Also the mattress you have asked the question on- it is also a pretty good and inexpensive mattress that feels awesome on the back and joints. Anyways good luck.

We feel the mattress is quite firm. Recently a friend told me that it is suggested you break in this type of mattress by walking on it. This instruction did not come with our mattress but I think we may try it.

Hello, I bought the extra firm topper to place on top of my old mattress; it worked wonderful! It is firm, but provided a little softness at the same time.

it will actually make the bed feel softer. initially it will be feel soft, but once you sink into it, you can barely even turn. we bought it and now use it for a bed for sleepovers. It stayed on our bed for 2 days, and we couldnt' take it anymore. my hard bed felt a lot better after attempting to sleep with this topper on it.

YES, this topper will make your sleeping experience much more comfortable. That's why I purchased mine to put on top of a very firm mattress. Makes a wonderful and restful sleeping experience.

I don't think so. It feels pretty light to me and not dense like the more sweaty memory foam mattresses.

Yes, it is firm and supportive. It should be perfect as long as your mattress isn't super plush and doesn't sink in already.

It's on the softer side. If you like your bed really comfy this is the Memory Foam to get!

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.

Are you speaking of a Pillow Top mattress or a Pillow Top mattress topper? If you are speaking of a pillow top mattress topper, then yes it would add firmness to your topper. However, keep in mind this memory foam will mold to your body and is "activated" by body heat and once you lay on it, it starts to take instant mold to the pressure placed on it. It molds to your body. I really don't see the use for a pillow topper with this memory foam, unless you just need that added softness.

this is more firm than the mattress toppers. i guess it would also depend on your weight. but memory foam alone just goes flat with all the body weight on it and yields equally as hard as the surface its on top of. hope that helps.
