I have a memory foam mattress that is too soft for me. Is this more supportive than memory foam?

I think it might be. I used to also have a memory foam topper and this feel a bit firmer. It is also so much better for you- non of the toxic chemicals found in the memory foam!

It's a close call (and I have limited experience with Memory Foam), but I'd say "Yes". Here's why:> Memory Foam presents resistance merely because of its density... but it melts away when you put pressure on it.> This latex pad is quite dense, but it actually pushes back on your hand. I'd say it presents as much *material resistance* as M.F., but *pushes back* about 2-3x harder than M.F.Suggest you get the 4", though, to really feel the difference.

I put a 2 inch memory on a memory foam mattress that was hot and not very comfortable. The result is the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in. I have a hard time sleeping in hotels or other people's houses and can't wait to get home.

yes, I'd say so. It doesn't squish down nearly as much. maybe you want to go for a thicker one though?

God love you. Same thing happened to me. I bought the 11" memory foam. Only one person mentioned that the mattress was very firm and that was unfortunately after I purchased it. Damn thing kept getting harder, and I kept buying more foam toppers for comfort. Fortunately, my mom needed a new mattress and she has to have very firm. I gave her the hard 11" and ordered an 8" pressure relief memory foam and I love it. Feels so good to sleep on my side and not wake up hurting! So forget trying to "fix" that hard mattress and just get another one. You will quickly forget about the money you threw away! God love you. Same thing happened to me. I bought the 11" memory foam.

I love this mattress! I have laid on an all latex mattress and it felt more like memory foam. This mattress has more spring to it.

This mattress is the firmest of any memory foam mattress I have tried. For me unfortunately "too firm". I have to say I am really surprised after reading the reviews first how hard this mattress is. I was originally looking at the 12" Sleep Innovations and the reviews indicated that the 10" actually had more memory foam and was not as stiff and hard. I also tried this with a very good memory foam topper that I had used on a firm latex mattress, but it was not comfortable either and that topper can make almost anything feel good. Buying a memory foam mattress is so individual I think- very hard to do without trying it first. I wanted to love it and it seems to be very high quality, but I would only suggest it to someone who wants an extra firm bed with very minimal cushioning/sinking in from the memory foam.

It's stiff and supportive. Makes a great bed with a pad and a foam mattress but for me softer is better. Should work for you. These are very well made.

I see you got some mixed results! The top of the mattress is quite soft, giving it an initial cushy feel, but the mattress is quit firm. I would agree with the "supportive" answer. Beware, the first week I got this mattress it was difficult to get out of bed, that's how awesome it is.

Yes. I have a regular mattress. Actually, a regular mattress weighs a lot less than a memory foam mattress!

We actually have a memory foam mattress. I actually didn't like the mattress at all until we got this frame. It is such a sturdy frame, I actually wonder if it might make a world of difference for our other "regular" mattress. The quality of support makes me think that it could possibly help just about any mattress to feel better. Also, we do have a box spring and memory foam mattress. I must agree with the other person who said it might be too tall for most people. We are both 6-feet tall and even I have to climb into bed!

No comparison, memory foam vs an air mattress. Its a wonderful bed that's conforming yet firm. My back and neck felt tons better after one night.

What I'll say is that considering how subjective a mattress feels, the Lucid is not soft. The mattress is firm but yielding. Is supports where support is needed. I've gotten much better sleep since purchasing it compared to the Sams Club "Eurotop" mattress I had before.

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

Definitely firmer than a memory foam mattress. I am not a fan of memory foam as I constantly feel like I am sinking into the mattress. The tuft and needle 10 that we bought is definitely more firm. We prefer firmer mattresses and have been very happy with our purchase. I'd give it a 7 on a scale of 1 to 10 of firmness.

I have memory foam mattress, it's bit harder then regular foam mattresses and it works. Eventually I'll use it on the floor when I'll get use to it more. Thanks!

It's on the softer side, you definitely sink into it. It adds a very small amount of support. I bought it to "soften" a very firm mattress and it does exactly that. It is also not "cool" as advertised, it is cooler than memory foam but still holds a lot of heat. Hope this helps!

If you are comfortable on a slightly more than medium firmness inner spring, than my guess is the memory form should be fine. Go try a med firm memory foam at a mattress store, it's a free way to see it you would even like foam mattresses. We like ours...

Yes. My mattress was so firm it was making my hips sore because i sleep on my side. This made a huge difference in the softness. It's really a nice product.

Sorry but you can't add firmness to a memory foam bed by adding this on top. You could add a piece of plywood underneath to see if that might help.
