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 bought the 2" and like it, but wish I would have went a little thicker and got the 3" because I'm sure it offers more support.

The 3 inch would be good but you might want to get the 4 just to ensure comfort.

I bought the dream foam mattress in the 10 inch version. I have a cranky back and find it difficult to get comfortable. This mattress did the trick for me. I would call it medium firm With just enough give for sleeping on your side. Its wonderful.

Not sure about the 3". It's great with the 3.8 though. It tends to feel a little bulky but the leather pad on the inside make it otherwise very comfortable.

I got the 4" for my daughter to use on top of her dorm mattress. The dorm mattresses are terrible. She loves the 4".We had a 2", which was fine for me; but my husband who is a big guy, did not feel any difference. So, we got the 4" - my husband loves the 4" and so do I. We use the 2" for the guestroom bed.Since you have a good mattress already, I believe either the 3" or 2" would be fine. However, I recommend getting the 3" instead of the 2".

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 would go for the 3" pad and put a $30-40 mattress cover on top. The cover keeps everything in place even during activity on the bed.Yes it will soften up a firm mattress about 20% (I have a 2" pad which I really like, I am 5'9" at 175lbs)

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 had exactly the same complaint about my old pillow, and exactly the same dilemma as yours: which height and firmness I should specify for the new one. I'm also a (mostly) side sleeper. I believe the "right" answer will end up being a matter of personal preference. What worked for me may not feel right to you. That said, here's my experience: I rolled the dice and ordered the High and Firm pillow. I unpackaged it and thought "This thing is too big and hard" but I followed the manufacturer's reco and let it sit, unused, for a couple of days. Then I gave it a try and I found it to be perfect from Day One. 19 months later, I'm still loving the pillow.

I'm pretty small too. I had to relax a bit and go carefully, and they're pretty big still. I like them for that, but I would suggest going with a 3/4" pair first if you're nervous about it. They were what I started with, for the same reason.

It will help but you might need to get a 4 inch to do the job. I had the problem but I was adding soft to fairly soft. If you are just wanting extra to make your comfort tweeked get this one

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.

I you cover it you may want thinner thickness, 5" is thick and firm, we used it for a mattress in the back seat of a truck

I bought the 2" and love it. But, in the back of my mind I keep thinking what the 3" would of felt like. I guess I'll never know. Sorry I could not of been of anymore help.

I'm not sure what you or the other review are talking about - mine is too firm if anything. I actually have a softer 1/2 inch pad on it. If you're having trouble with it I would call the manufacturer or Amazon. Amazon is spectacular with order issues and Brentwood is a US company which means they'd be easy to contact and deal with. Good luck with your order!

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.
