Im 235 and its too soft for me. I just sold mine for $100 because my back started to hurt. I tried to contact customer service first, but they won't do anything for you until the mattress starts to sag over 1". I did purchase a great mattress from Costco thought, being Costco, I can return/exchange it at any time for any reason. Its a firm luxury and I am sleeping well now. My wife is 125, she was fine with the Lucid.

If I had a new pillow top mattress that sags, I would first go back to the retailer. They may replace it and save you money. As to your question, I am not sure. I bought ours for the camper with a low quality mattress and it is the most comfortable bed we own. When I buy another I will get the 3 inch one and put a pad on top before the bottom sheet. Hope this helps.

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.

Our topper is on a 'firm' mattress. My husband is satisfied with the amount of 'softness' but I feel that I need more. Also, I find that the topper falls over the edge of my bed a little where I get in and out. My bed is very tall.

Hello Claire - I don't think this would be a good choice. I think he'd want a cushion with memory foam and pretty thick. This cushion is not that firm on one side; the other side is a hard board. I suggest you find a medical supply company. Try www.americandiabeteswholesale.com or www.feelgoodstore.com . Cinda

I would agree with the others, it's medium firm to firm. A lot of local mattress stores have them on the floor to try out. I would recommend lying down on various different beds before deciding to purchase on Amazon for the extreme savings.

Its definitely a firm mattress! A bit too much got my liking and I usually prefer firm.

I have two queen size beds. On is the tradional metal frame with a bar in the middle. And I have a wooden bred frame with a bar in the middle also. I have added a bunny board to each bed. On bed has a box springs as well and one doesn't. It works either way and the back support feeling is great. I have no additional bars or internal legs in the frame. If you do it's fine also. The addition and use of the bunny board is the best thing I could do since I have had back surgery and still have a very bad back. It works great and I get a good nights sleep. Go for the bunky bed boards!!

you should check the product dimensions and measure it from the floor up. thereafter, tell your husband to simulate pushing a horizontal bar from that height. If he is not comfortable, then he won't like it. some tall guys are alright. I think it might have to do with the elasticity of the shoulders or the bulkiness of the muscles.

God love you. Same thing happened to me. I bought the 11" memory foam. Only one person mentioned that the mattress was very firm and that was unfortunately after I purchased it. Damn thing kept getting harder, and I kept buying more foam toppers for comfort. Fortunately, my mom needed a new mattress and she has to have very firm. I gave her the hard 11" and ordered an 8" pressure relief memory foam and I love it. Feels so good to sleep on my side and not wake up hurting! So forget trying to "fix" that hard mattress and just get another one. You will quickly forget about the money you threw away! God love you. Same thing happened to me. I bought the 11" memory foam.

For me, i just put it on the floor and sleep from there. Box springs is up to u as a preference. Honestly, i wish i bought a firmer mattress. This is a bit soft for my taste.

I'm not sure what you or the other review are talking about - mine is too firm if anything. I actually have a softer 1/2 inch pad on it. If you're having trouble with it I would call the manufacturer or Amazon. Amazon is spectacular with order issues and Brentwood is a US company which means they'd be easy to contact and deal with. Good luck with your order!

Medium firm. My husband likes a firm mattress and I like a medium soft mattress and we both love it.

2inches queen ser #c1257 we brought pillows to we like them but mattress hurts my husbands back what can we do

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!

A good base maybe sinc it is very thick & heavy. By base, i mean it should be something sturdy enough to hold the weight of both the mattress and the person using it. CBag is right, platform frame or slats are good options.
