One other question if I have a firm latex bed and want to soften it up, what is best density to buy? The ILD I have is 32 but it's too firm for me

At Ultimate Sleep, we offer two types of Latex, the 100% Natural (Dunlop) Latex and a Talalay Latex which is a blend of the botanical and man-made latexes. Both are available in softer ILDs -- the Dunlop in: 16 - 18 (Medium-SOft) and 24 - 27 (Medium-Firm); and the Talalay in: 15 - 19 (soft), 22 - 27 (Medium), and Medium-Firm (28 - 30). The choice of ILD range and also thickness is totally determined by your own preferences as far as how much softness and how deep of a softness you wish to add. Thanks!

Density is over 4.5 but due not buy the bed unless you like a hard bed. The bed is so hard my wife & I are having a hard time sleeping in the bed with out hurting all night. Tried to return it. Brentwood would not help in anyway with letting me buy packaging to send it back.

I had a problem and when I asked for new mattress cause how lumpy it was, they told me to use a ruler and flatten to show lumpiness. That's impossible. You have to lay on it all night to realize how damn lumpy it was.

I don't recall the density but I bought it for my little boy and he wanted a really soft bed and this one is exactly that. If you are looking for firm, this is not the one for you. My son loves it though.

It's very firm. Some things you to think about is that 3 inches is a pretty heft addition to a mattress and it makes your sheets fit weird and you'll be sleeping quite a bit lower than your husband if your sharing the bed. Also they send it rolled up and it takes quite awhile to lay flat and get rid of all the packaging indentations. And, finally, they have a strong chemical smell for a bit after you buy them. It really bothered some other buyers but I didn't mind too much and it goes away. It is Amazon so if you don't like it, send it back.

Hmm. dense, not flimsy. However it was too soft on top of my latex mattress (for me anyway) Ended up putting it on another bed with regular mattress.

It is the height/thickness of the mattress, not the firmness. Firmness depends on the layers in between, read the label carefully.

One benefit of latex/foam is that movement on side of be d doesn't effect other side. Have them try your bed!

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

If by density you mean how firm or how soft the roller is, it's soft. I used mine very little and it began to bow out. I'd get a black, firmer roller or use a piece of PVC. Don't buy this.

BTW, if you want a firm feel, do not sleep on it for over 48 hrs. If you prefer a more softer feel, under 48. Give it a touch to see.

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)

There seems to be a top layer of latex, resting on a bottom layer of memory foam. I have only slept on it a few times, and I have a nice memory foam topper on top of it for now because I'm pregnant and sleep on my side and there's nowhere else to store the topper. However, before I put the topper on it I tried it out while awake. The feel is firm, but not hard. You don't sink in like you would with a memory foam mattress. However, you also don't get the feeling of something pushing back into you and digging in, like you might with an inner coil mattress. Some dense foam mattresses have felt "hard" to me. This one just feels firm and supportive-- not plush. It is almost like what you would expect an air mattress to be if the air mattress were impossibly perfectly super-full and taut-- but it has a little more give or "sink" than that. Also, I am told that in several weeks it will soften just a bit, then stay that way, and it will feel less firm than synthetic latex (it is natural latex). As a final note, I have noticed that people really vary in their perception of what is "firm" versus "soft." I would call this definitely firm, but far from extreme.

What is considered supportive or comfy is so subjective. Those were pretty much my requirements also, and I chose the 6. I am in love with my bed! Talk to Chuck about your sleeping habits and he will help you choose the right bed for you.

No. There are hundreds of mattresses to choose from on the market. There are organic, double sided, spring, latex, very inexpensive to very expensive. I would not have been comfortable having the company make the choice for me. We finally decided on a double sided, latex-spring mattress. I have read and been given the advice that a newborn needs a very firm mattress; however, as the child gains weight, the child 'may' prefer a softer mattress coming closer to what many adults prefer in softness, therefore the latex for firmness and the spring for softness. This is what I have heard and read. I'll be able to confirm or retract this in a few years. My two cents. No. There are hundreds of mattresses to choose from on the market.

I believe it is regular high density foam. The firmness is determined by the top latex layer. BTW we are VERY happy with this mattress. We have had it about 3 months now. It does seem to be breaking in a bit and I think is maybe 5% softer than when it was new. But we are 100% satisfied with it.

Super comfy yet medium firm. We have it on top of our futon mattress and way more comfortable with it. Don't know the density. We are super happy with it.
