Bed soft enough to fit in a 23 x 33 footprint? With vac sealing, can't tell. THOUGHT it was soft, but skeleton seems rigid. Should've gotten medium.

Mattress is definitely smaller than that. I put it in a medium-sized (not very big, just not the smallest size) pet carrier crate, leaving the door off the crate, and it fit perfectly. The mattress is very similar to a self-inflating mattress that you use for backpacking. It feels rigid because the heating element is inside of it. I don't know what size you ordered, but the box or description should give dimensions. Since mine was for one cat, I believe I got the small size. As far as the other response I read, the mattress heats in response to pressure on it. It is not drawing power constantly, but as soon as it senses the weight on it it heats to the perfect temp, which may not feel very warm to a human. I believe it heats to 102F which per their description is perfect to maintain the body heat of an outdoor animal as long as it is dry and in a sheltered place. I wish Sharon S had sent me hers instead of throwing it away!

This heated bed is a waste of money....it doesn't heat. I just threw mine in the trash.

I put the 2" on a top a not so good mattress in my teenager's room and he loves it. If the mattress is real hard I would probably go with 3 inch if you like your bed to feel soft.

This is 3" thick, and I thought of medium support. It went on top of a very firm mattress and made it feel like a nice memory foam mattress. I have two Tempurpedic beds. This was for my daughter's apartment. Made an uncomfortable bed feel awesome. So, I would say medium-soft density.

HiI purchased this for my grandson. It's a great mattress. It's in his toddler pirate boat bed now (little tikes). It fits perfectly. Hopes this helps in some way. Have a great day!

I'm not sure. Your best bet would be to buy the bed, which comes with the soft mattress, and then take that mattress to compare with others. Sorry I could not be of more help.

I think mijcar has the truth of it. I'm doing a low-budget version of what you describe: I have two of these side by side and the slightly-more expensive rolled futon (from the same company) on top of that. It's very comfortable. I have some movement under the "bedroll" because I'm laying lengthwise on it, but if I understand your plan you intend to be lying "against" the grain, so to speak, widthwise. If so, it should be fine. Actually, once I get a new place with more room I might well do the same thing you suggest. It's a good idea.

Im 235 and its too soft for me. I just sold mine for $100 because my back started to hurt. I tried to contact customer service first, but they won't do anything for you until the mattress starts to sag over 1". I did purchase a great mattress from Costco thought, being Costco, I can return/exchange it at any time for any reason. Its a firm luxury and I am sleeping well now. My wife is 125, she was fine with the Lucid.

I'm using this mattress with a hand-me-down evenflo p&p.; So far I have it in the bassenet part and it serves it purpose. I do think it is a little on the soft side, but some of this is due to poor underneath support. I think there will be an improvement when i move it below. No gaps around the edges is a plus. I'm not sure how it would fit other brands. I measured to assure an extra tight fit and recommend others to do the same.

This 15.5 is pretty firm, but not like a traditional style mattress not like a rock. I they offer different thicknesses which are softer, please be aware the 15.5 is hard and costly to get sheets for you really need the 24" sheets for this bed

As a previous writer wrote that this is an extremely soft mattress, I would'nt say that. I say it is medium firm. i got it for my son and he says it is not soft enough. I would say 350lbs. is no problem for this mattress. it is made pretty good, so I think it will last. I say go for it, you won't be disappointed.

The other answers are pretty good. I ordered a queen, which was compressed and shrink wrapped. Even so, the box was about the size of a two drawer file cabinet. When I released the shrink wrap, the foam expanded quite a bit.

I bought this and it was the right width (maybe with an inch to spare, I think, but good enough) but ~3 inches too short, so maybe start there? The bed is actually even better than it seems - we are really pleased with it, as is our son!Sleep Master iCoil 6 Inch Spring Mattress, Twin

I would say medium. If you haven't had a foam mattress before it takes some getting used to when you sit on the edge as it sinks in and feels soft but when you lay on it the weight is distributed and doesn't feel as soft.

I found it to be soft....definitely not firm. (of course that's subjective, but I think it's accurate). Didn't raise my head too high.

It was soft as a foam mattress so it might be a lil too squishy. I set min on top instead of using a foam topper.

I bought the mattress. I went to the makers site and read allthe specs there. It is very informative. Go there and find your answer.

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. Overall size is standard 24x16".
