We put the extra firm on top of the mattress in our camper. (3") it is the most comfortable bed we own now.

I can't compare the comfort level. However, our bed with the 3 inch topper is super high. A person with short legs might find it difficult to get in and out. Also, it is almost impossible to keep sheets on unless you purchase special extra deep pocket sheets. Seems to me that adding two more inches would make it even more difficult.

I'm a 195lb man, and even though 5.5 should be rather firm, I found it to be much too soft for my liking. (I was looking for something firm.) I had a 4" memory foam topper from my previous spring mattress that I put on top of this though, and it feels much better (firm) now. I'd say if you want something you can sink into a bit, this would be right up your alley.

Sorry I cannot help you on this. The mattress is great and feels like its thicker than the 5. 5

We are using the 5" and 3" in a trundle bed. It gives a firm very comfortable bed.

It feels firm, but when you sleep on it, it's nice. I'm 6'4' #200 male and slept on a 15 yr old firm Sealy (I know, it's junk)...with a 3" Lucid on top of it, and after a while started having back soreness again...I bought this 4" and added it to the top. Sleep like a baby now. Actually remember dreams and rarely wake up. Never wake up, and never wake up sore. Great nights sleep.

I have used both. I purchased the 12" first but found the incline too much. I slid down when using it all night as well as when using it for TV, etc. I returned the 12" and purchased the 7.5" which is perfect for me. I do not slide when sleeping on it, with or without a pillow, and the support is great for my neck and back. I do add a couple pillows when I want to sit up more and maintain good neck position. For me, the 7.5" is a better fit and more versatile. It is also easier to set aside or store when I am not using it. Also, if you are unsure about which is right for you, the return shipping is free and I received a full refund even after using the product. If you do return a wedge, I recommend building or buying a large box as they are shipped highly compressed in a plastic wrap.

3" should be enough, you just have to be careful not to knock it off. I have 2 of these and LOVE them. Whisper quiet and work like a gem.

We bought the 3 lb this time and my husband loves it, it is a little too firm for me and I wish we would have bought the 2.5, if you do not want to sink much , the 3 lb is probably why you are looking for.

They make different holsters for different barrell length. I got one for a 3". You can get one for a 5". They are FANTASTIC. Love mine.

very firm , I like plush / medium soft My wife like hard , and this was even slightly firm for her for the 1rst week , it does break in and even I can sleep on it . I use a 1, maybe 2" gel topper for more comfort/ softness (I like my ribs and hips to sink in so my spine is strait since I am a side sleeper I weigh 165 my wife 160 so if your heavier it may be just right if your lighter then 165lbs then this will be to firm unless you like a firm almost very firm mattress . It is zero gravity when just laying on your back it does give you a floating sensation and is very relaxing ...

Yes, the 10 inch is actually softer, we have both 8 and 10 inch. I personally prefer the firmer 8 inch, though

Ask the seller, but I am guessing a 6 would work. I have a 5 and would have liked it firmer at a 4.

Buy the medium .. you can heat it up with a hair drier .. stretch it over the grip ... you will love the solid feel and very comfortable ...hope this helps

I have the king size. They are very firm, I would say 9-10 of 10. It took me a week or so to get used to it but now I love it.

Sorry. Don't and can't know what is meant by "extra firm". My wife says it adjusts better than anything she's had before. I would call it firm but comfortable; it "crushes" a bit, then firms-up. Again, sorry...

Great question. I ordered an 8, as it was described as pillow top feel. It was super soft and comfortable. However, I was getting back aches, and I was sleeping hot. I discussed this with Chuck at Dreamfoam and he said that would indicate the mattress is too soft. Before the 60 day trial was up I swapped it out for a 6. It has just the perfect softness. My husband was sleeping on a 5. He was fine with it, but since I was swapping anyhow, I got his side a 4 and he is very comfortable. Just so you know, I weigh 170 and my husband weighs 250 so that might have something to do with the support. Great question. I ordered an 8, as it was described as pillow top feel.

I have the 10". I am a side sleeper & find this mattress very comfortable. I was never comfortable sleeping on my back before this mattress but now that is also comfortable. This mattress doesn't leave gaps under your body so it feels really good. I don't think I'll ever go back to a pillowtop/spring mattress.
