How thick is the material of the pad? I live in a college dorm &amp; have to sleep on old spring beds,so I was wondering how much cushioning the pad gives

Terry, unfortunately it is not very thick. I don't think it will help any as far as cushioning. It is more like two sheets put together if that much. Do not recommend it for that purpose.

Hello,The item has been re-packed,ready for pick-up for weeks now, but as I recall the sofa cushion appears deeper than it actually is due to the stiffness of the faux leather cover. It appears to be about 3" thick, however, when I sat on the sofa I felt a board. Why do you ask?Can you do anything to expedite the pick-up of & refund to my Visa for this item.Please let me know.Thank you,Lauriee Irwin 716-861-624

The pad is divided into individual squares stuffed with faux down. Each square is probably one quarter inch or so. The stitching enables the pad to maintain its loft more when you lie on it. I'm a plump person and find it very comfortable and not overly horrible. Hope you're this helps.

Im perfectly content with the 6" mattress myself. Many a nights it is slept on actually. So I guess if you want it extra chushy then maybe get the pad too, but I think the mattress is very comfortable.

I found this pad quite comfortable and helpful. I use it in a sitting position so I don't put my full weight on it, however. Good luck.

I think the density of this mat is really good. Yes, it is thick and cushiony, but I don't feel as though it's too "squishy". Hope this helps!

We use this mattress as a permanent bed and find it very comfortable. Still it is not a real mattress and you feel that you are laying on air - so when you get up it feels a little bit shaky like in a rubber boat, but that's just how it is. You are getting used to it and it's way more affordable than a real bed (imagine how easy it is, when you have to another dorm!).

I don't know how thick that pad is, but this one has a pad that is slightly thicker than an inch, I would estimate, very soft and comfortable. My grandson loves it...sleeps all night when he stays with us.

Hi Karolyn,The mattress pad is not thick at all. It's awesome for warmth, but it won't help for softness.

It depends. Not all dorms use XL twins. I would check with the university first. We used the mattress cover and then a mattress pad on top. The mattress cover is a thin barrier for allergies/bed bug issues, while a mattress pad adds some cushioning.

This is thicker than normal mattress pad/protectors...but not more than a quarter of an inch. It's very soft & is still my preferred protector after 3 years of use!

The separate piece of foam inside the cover is 1" to 1.25" thick, as-stated by several others. I will add that it's medium-density, at best, and thus compresses very quickly and doesn't provide that much support. Better than nothing? Yes. Could it be better with thicker or higher-density foam? Definitely!I have a garden kneeling pad that's approximately the same thickness, but much more dense and rubber-like. If I were to cut a piece out of that and put it inside the cover, I'm sure it would be much more comfortable!

Pad has thickness, not thin. Bought it for my son for a not so great mattress; he stated it made a big difference. Hope this helps.

I'm not sure how to answer that. It's not firm- just a nice quality pad that is about a 1/2 inch thick. I think it's great.

I'd say it's about 2-3" thick. I think it's plenty of padding. I'm happy !!

This foam pad is at least 4 inches thick and firm enough to support 200 lbs without sinking in.However it is not hard feeling . I have fibro myalgia and it provides a very comfortable sleeping experience. Hope this helps.

It really does make a difference. I love it.....very comfortable. As for the thickness, it is probably 1 1/2 to 2 inches.
