Is this topper good at increasing the firmness of a softer mattress? Have brand new firm pillowtop turning out to be a little too soft for my husband

don't waste your money I returned it because the form was uneven with lumps and bumps. It does firm up a mattress but I would go for a different company Cheryl

do not buy this stupid thing! It doesn't expand right. I bought 2 and they both did the same thing. horrible :(

Hello, I bought the extra firm topper to place on top of my old mattress; it worked wonderful! It is firm, but provided a little softness at the same time.

I had the same issue. Once it finally reshaped into a flat surface it definitely was helpful. Very firm topper

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.

Yes and no. If it only needs to be increased by a little, then yes. If you are looking for a major increase, no. It is very comfortable.

Mine was not firm. I bought it because my mattress was too firm and needed something soft.

Glad to hear it got better. I knew it was firm, but not too bad. Mine is pretty soft now too.

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.

Yes- my full size mattress is a pillow top and the topper added a great deal of firmness to it. It is not as firm as a hard matress but I didn't want hard mattress. I find it immensely comfortable - really a pleasure to receive a product that more than lived up to its product details. It is heavy though so if you order it, it may be a little awkward to manuveur it yourself. I hope this answers your question.

The mattress isn't firm. It is on the softer. My mattress filled up pretty quickly, but didn't completely fill out the sheet for a day or so. When it was fully set, it was much thicker than expected.

Funny, one person says this topper is firm, but we put it over a normal mattress, and I think it's pretty soft! Almost too soft for my taste, but it's definitely better than the old mattress was, in my opinion.

I only slept on it a couple of times, but it's definitely more firm than soft. Hope that helps.

Not very. I'm having major low-back problems when I wake up. I'm looking for a way to make it feel firmer or else I'll have to find a firmer one. Good luck!

I'd say it's more medium firm to firm. Obviously you can change the feel slightly by inflating more or less. The top layer is thick and durable, you'll be able to feel the dimples you can see in the image while laying on the mattress even without inflating it all the way. Support is impressive for an air mattress, partially because of those dimples. The second night I used this mattress I added a pillow under my knees to help align my back better and that helped too. Make sure you have a supportive pillow to go along with it.

I didn't think it was very firm, but had been using a temperpedic body pillow which was very firm, I went back tot because this one just seemed to soft to me. Hope that helps

It has worked great for us. I didn't really notice any crunchy feeling, but it was softer after a couple of washes. We bought a mattress with a gel topping. We wanted the topper because we have small children who climb on the bed and we didn't want to worry about spills, etc. on the new mattress. It's been great (much better than the other ones I bought for the kids' beds) and I would recommend it.

Mine was also very firm at first. It is much softer now but firm. So yes it does get a little softer

I would say it's firm. It will soften up slightly when you lay on it from your body heat but it is still firm. It was get back to its original firmness after you get up also. I tried for 3 months but it didn't give. I eventually got a 3inch 4lb density memory foam topper and everythig is great now. I wish I had gotten a cheaper matress and the topper.

It adds overall firmness with "give" in all the right places. I wake up with a lot less aches and pains. Well worth the price as compared to other mattress toppers I have had.

No, I think it would make it softer. I love it on my hard mattress because it makes it softer, so I think you'd be disappointed..
