It mostly depends on how tall you are. I have slept on both the regular size and the long and I honestly couldn't tell the difference. I'm 6'1" 185 lbs, either works for me. If you're a side sleeper then perhaps try the long since it offers a bit more cushion.

Any mattress you find comfortable. I went to a mattress store and chose what was comfortable. Depth was not an issue.

I'm a side-sleeper.... and this works great. You will have 2 options, a "soft" side, and a medium side.

I own a 3 inch and a 2 inch. My 2 inch is in the guest room and i have to say... it would work well for a back sleeper but the 3 inch is very comfortable (on my bed) for the side sleeper. It also depends on the size of the individual. My guess would be the heavier the person.. the thicker the pad? My husband is 190 pounds and the 2 or 3 inch works great.

I guess this sleeping back will fit you if you're not that "thick" at 6'. Try moving in this bag at 6' being 200 plus pounds can be comical.

Overall size is standard 24x16". Tallest thickness is 5" on sides. Note the surface has sewn partitions. Center for back sleeping (1" hi); side raised for side sleeping position. Both bordered by cervical roll of two different circumferences. Too big?? Wouldn't fit into std pillow case. Two wouldn't fit on twin bed. Too thick which made neck bend. Filler material wouldn't stay in place properly. None of this should be a problem with the 200. However, it is stuffed firmly full. So much so that it is like trying to keep your cheek balanced on a padded rolling pin when side sleeping. Maybe the 220 Gentle would help this.

It's a bit less firm then the tempurpedic mattresses, so I think it would be fine for a side sleeper. It's very comfy.

If you're just looking to add a lively layer of comfort to your mattress, 2" may be fine; if you're looking for a deeper softness in combination with support characteristics, or you're a side sleeper, you may want to consider a thicker topper. In terms of softness, that will also be determined largely by the qualities you're looking to add to your mattress -- at Ultimate Sleep, we frequently have samples available for evaluation purposes.

I had a 200lb man sleep on it for a week with no problem. Just make sure you get the thicker foam mattress for comfort. There are two common thickness, I think I bought the 8 inch.

I don't know how much softness your looking for, but you will not sink into this pad, it kind of cradles you without sinking. You may want to test any pad that your thinking of buying since the memory foam is too firm.

My son teenage sun is only 115lbs and he said he felt every spring and metal bar. I put one of those mattress pads on it and he said it was way more comfortable. I weight 168 and i feel as if it will collapse under me! Plus the heavier the person the more squeaky it gets.

This one is thin but still a little hard....if you're looking for softer varies you might try down pillows or coconut foam.

Hello Claire - I don't think this would be a good choice. I think he'd want a cushion with memory foam and pretty thick. This cushion is not that firm on one side; the other side is a hard board. I suggest you find a medical supply company. Try www.americandiabeteswholesale.com or www.feelgoodstore.com . Cinda

You might want to go for a 3" pad. My husband is 5'10", 200# and I'm about 150# and it's held up well for us.

This is quite a firm pad. 2" is more than sufficient, even on an air mattress.

1.5", its thick enough for side sleepers if you give it a few extra puffs of air.
