Pads appear to gain thickness in the longer sizes, with XXL being 4". Is this 4 inches thick throughout the entire pad, or only at the pillow area?

yes. this pad is four inches thick. the "pillow" part is thicker. My husband weighs 260 and it works for him. We don't store them rolled up in the bags.

The one I have is thru the entire pad, so the pillow area can be either end you choose.

Yes, it's about 5 inches thick and I love it. My old one was about 3 inches thick after many years of use. I find this type of pillow to last years without going flat.

Not very thick. If the person who uses these is ambulatory, may I suggest TENA Ultimate Pad. If the person is bedridden, depends are just as thick and a great deal less expensive. Good luck

The pad is not 1 inch thick. I like a firm bed and this has not "hurt" the firmness for me. You could get one, put it on the bed, lay on it and see. If you aren't happy - send it back.

Hi.... I just measured my mattress, and it is about 10 inches thick. I love these sheets and they fit beautifully. I also bought a set for a 2 layer queen size blow up mattress ( so it's like having a box spring and mattress only its a blow up kind) , that I use for over night guests, and that set fits that mattress perfectly too. I hope this helps, thanks for the question :D

the pad fits perfectly even on thick mattresses. it is all elastic around the the entire pad. it is not pillow top, but works great over a mattress topper. i really recommend it.

Hi. We don't have a pillow top, but I measured our mattress and seemed to be more like 11 inches. The sides of the pad are very stretchy but seemed to stretch completely out at around 13 inches. Perhaps you could phone the company as they are most helpful and might have suggestions for you. We live the quality and comfort of our pad and great USA companyJust noticed others with thicker mattress have no problem. The sides are very stretchy!

I love mine. I helps me, but I have to tell you that it is not the only thing I have on there. It is about 4" thick. I also have a padded mattress cover over it, so between the two my bed is soft, but firm. The only problem I have now is having sheets that will stay on it. I am going to try some sheet clips and see if that helps. I hope this helps you.

No, the pad is smaller and thinner than a regular mattress. I got a bunch of crib sheets for my baby shower so my mom used her mad grandma skills to modify them to fit.

2 inches. I bought this new one and ended up adding it to another two pads and enclosed them in a queen size mattress cover. This is our mattress for the moment; three 2" thick pads. It's okay. My husband has a bad back and I have arthritis in my shoulders. Some nights are better than others. I am still looking for my "dream" mattress....

If you mean thickness it's a little less than 1/4 inch thick. We have a Cal King mattress and the pad fits it perfectly at 83 inches long.

I would say it is about 3/8" thick. It is thick enough to be comfortable, but not too thick to wash in a home washing machine. Mine came through the washer and dryer just great. The sides are super-stretchy yet strong, so I think it is an awesome pad. Hope this helps!

It is a thicker pad than normal. I added the suggested pad protector and it made it even better. No complaints from my grandson!

As I recall (i returned it didn't like it at all) it fills out about 2" thick. Wasn't at all comfortable compared to the self - inflating therapist back pad I got instead which I've traveled with extensively since it's purchase 2 years ago...including on a 19 hour flight to S. Africa.

Hi Karolyn,The mattress pad is not thick at all. It's awesome for warmth, but it won't help for softness.

The thicker it is the harder it will be to roll over. Once the memory foam forms to the heat of you body. I had a 4" before and it was almost impossible to roll over.
