How firm is the mattress they provide? it looks rather soft. Has anyone used a different but firmer mattress?

It is softer and thicker than a pack-n-play bottom, but not so soft that you'd need to worry about it. I always thought the pack-n-plays must feel like lying on a board, so I wanted a thicker and softer mattress because I thought it would be more comfortable for our little guy so I haven't used a firmer mattress. He loves it though and goes right to sleep in it just like he does with his crib at home. This is seriously one of the best purchases we've made. We've traveled all over the world with our guy and it's been super convenient. It's easy to set up and break down (it takes literally 60 seconds) and the zip-up bag it comes in means you can check it when flying too.

It is softer than I expected not firm at all. We have a Temperapedic and this much softer than that. I rounded the corners (electric meat knife works great) to maintain the shape of the mattress below it and bought the 10" deep fitted sheets to capture the topper and the mattress. Overall I really like this for the money. FYI The foam smell goes away in a day or so.

Mine feels quite soft. I find it very comfortable. Firmness is relative and subjective though and I don't know what your original feels like.

It's not soft as normal mattress. That's the reason I got this one. I had been searching for a mattress that is firm enough to relieve my back pain. I used to get a platform made of several pieces of hard wood and put a comforter (made of cotton) on it. That was very firm and sometimes can be a little bit uncomfortable. This one is thick with good balance between softness and firmness. When it came, it was a little bit too puffy that I thought. But it gets better after some days. It is stuffed with cottons and very heavy. I'm satisfied with the quality of this mattress and would recommend to anyone who is looking for a mattress that is good to your back.

It's not nearly as firm as I thought it was going to be. I also have a King and Queen from another company on Amazon which were advertised as firm and definitely lived up to that description. Anyways, my point is, if firm is what you're looking for then you won't find it with this mattress. You'll "sink" into this one and that's probably not what you want.

it's pretty firm - but it's memory foam - so you sink in a little. i really like mine, and i generally like a firmer mattress.

I actually purchased mine because of the reviews relating to the softness. Mine; however is incredibly firm. We cannot sleep on it. Moved it to the guest room and the guests complain that it is too firm. Our personal experience is that it caused more pain, mostly in the hips.

I found mine to have the same firmness. The best advice I can give is to force yourself to try it for about 3 nights. You will either love it or hate it. Just take comfort in the return policy!

It is pretty firm. I was surprised, but it does give some, so is comfortable.

That's what we did when the MF mattress we bought turned out to be much more firm that we expected.If you're looking for a super soft mattress topper, keep looking. This one gave only a slight improvement but,it is quite comfortable now that we're used to it.

It is very soft. Has to be fluffed often. After one night it makes the mattress look like it is sagging. Really like it though.

I bought one a few years ago, I would buy another in a heartbeat. Best mattress I've ever slept on. I see it's selling for the same price I paid for it, $699. I had to sell mine due to a move. I miss it every night.However, I would not consider it "firm." It is soft. I used to think firm was the way to go, but this mattress soft yet supportive. I hope this helps.

It's pretty firm so if you want something cushy you'll need to find another mattress. I purchased it because I wanted something in my play yard other than the hard surface it has. Good Luck!!!

We have had this mattress for about 7 months. It has definitely became a bit softer. I think walking around on it helps, and we have done that a few times. Overall we are really happy with it, and we like how it's on the firm side.

According to the manufacturer's web site this mattress has a medium-plush feel. That means it's not too firm or plush, but is leaning more towards the plush side.I ended up buying one that was more firm for that reason.

Its pretty nice. Very firm when you first get it and softens up. We have had ours about 2 months and love it.
