I have a queen size mattress, I hate it, it hurts my back a lot. Will this make the mattress hurt my back less or hopefully not at all?

You definitely need to purchase a 3" memory foam topper for your bed. I've used overstock.com twice, and buy a new one about 3-4 years. A lot cheaper than a new mattress, unless yours is completely broken down. I've had same mattress for a decade now; my body never touches it, only the topper. I expect it to last forever, because it never feels the weight of my body. Even so, I turn it a couple times per year. Good luck.

I just saw a thing called the "mattress helper" that help prop-up a sagging mattress, if that's what you've got going on. If, on the other hand, your mattress is too hard for your comfort, a thick, foam might be helpful. If you buy that kind of foam you'll need a cover between you and the foam - and this cover might work depending on the thickness of your mattress. I like a firm mattress with thick foam - supports you yet feels cooshy.

This mattress pad is just a cover. It doesn't really add "extra" comfort or softness to the mattress. We just bought a new mattress from Amazon...It was delivered in a box. Medium firm 10' foam...and I bought the mattress pad to protect it. FINALLY we are getting restful sleep. If you can swing a new mattress...I would do that first. Sorry I am not much help.

I used this to cover the topper that works for me, so I don't know if this by itself will help your back.

The padding on this mattress pad will not make much of a difference with the comfort of your current mattress in my opinion. You should prob look into a memory foam to place on top of your mattress or if your mattress is older than 8-10 years look into replacing it with the pillow tops that are on the market now.

No it might help a bit, but suggest you get a topper or change the mattress

I don't think this will help; if you can "feel" the springs you need a new mattress!

No, it doesn't change the feel of my memory foam mattress. It's just like having a sheet over the mattress. The only drawback is that it makes a slight crinkly noise when you move around.

I think this memory foam topper can alleviate the sag in a memory foam mattress decently because the sag will distribute more evenly. However, I think it might be a waste to use on a spring mattress if the sag is pretty severe. I still notice the sag in my mattress even though it has this topper. Just make sure to rotate/flip your mattress often.

I highly recommend using a box spring. If you don't you will probably ruin your mattress.

I put my 4" memory foam mattress on it and I could feel the wire base on my back. I taped some cardboard on the wire base and that helps a little bit but also get problems like sliding issue. Finally, I solved my problem by getting an extra firm foam topper and put it underneath my memory foam mattress. Hope my story helps.

If you adjust a cane very high to keep you upright, it will lessen the strain on your back. I have a bad back and this helps a lot.

my mattress is more than 8inches so it will definitely fit and may be a tad loose. it does move a bit but it's nearly impossible to feel and there is no noise.

Yes make certain the weight is down at your lower back. Don't try to fight it. It helps you sit up straight without thinking about it.It relieves back pain from sitting at the desk for hours.

I would think it would certainly add quite a bit of softness. However, it feels like jell foam pockets and it probably wouldn't fill up where it dips down and make it level. It would have to be an improvement as it was a big improvement on an old mattress.

No I would not because the mattress is too soft.. It causes mine as well as my husband back to hurt. .If you are having back problems you should consider purchasing a firmer mattress. .

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!

Yes it will help. Another thing that will help is a memory foam topper for your bed if you do not already have one. Any movement, no matter how gentle, will help too. Stand in place and do your version of the hula, forexample. Warm baths (15 minutes each) with a cup of epsom salts and 1/2 of baking soda mixed in will also help. Anything that stimulates the blood flow to you lower back is a big help. I have a machine, called "Back To Life" that I use and it's amazing how good my back feels after using it. Hope I've helped.

I really don't know about specific areas of sag in your matress,but it does help to revive the total surface with a plush comfortable feel. Also try flipping and rotating your matress then put the topper on.

It sleeps a little warm but not like the old type which had no gel or air holes and was really warm to sleep on. Yes it will help with back pain if you put this topper on your mattress, it does for me. Mike

I don't seen any reason why the type of mattress you are putting it on should make any difference. Sounds like your mattress may be having some memory lapses (or you would not be considering this item), and this might be just the thing to restore it.

It depends how snuggly you guys are. I used it in a cal king and my husband thought it got in the way. The supports at the corners are kind of hard and uncomfortable if it gets pushed into you. I preferred to put it on the coffee table and sleep on the couch in front of it, or I slept alone on a queen mattress with it next to me. Hope that helps
