How firm is this pad? I have a bad back from sleeping on a bad mattress and need something with support, but nothing too firm...

The mattress pad is thin. I don't see that it would provide any appreciable support. It is just a slim pad about 1/4 inch thick that sits on top of your mattress primarily to protect the mattress and secondarily to give a touch more padding for comfort, but nothing so noticeable.

It's only a mattress cover. There is no padding to really speak of. I would call it fluffy as opposed to padded

I got this for my father, he's elderly and has a bad back and hip. He is very comfortable with this pad. It is not firm, its not much for support, just makes the mattress more comfortable. He's very happy with it so it was definetly a great buy.

I guess the best word to describe it is "supportive". Not so firm that it's like sleeping on a board and not so soft your whole body just sinks. It's supportive in just the right places like the small of your back, yet the mattress is "cushioned" just enough to prevent your muscles, bones and joints from becoming stiff and sore from "pressure points". It's just a very comflrtabe' supportive mattress. I hope this helps in some small way.

It's not bad. Add it with a cush sleeping bag, it's ok. Of course a thicker pad would help, but I'm a side sleeper too and I didn't have problems with it.

Firm is not a word that describes this mattress. The word that comes to mind, is 'enveloping'. When I lie down, I sink in - and honestly have trouble rolling over. I am sad to say my back feels worse now than before I bought it. Good luck in your search for a good night's sleep.

Both my husband and I feel the pad is firm but very comfortable on the spine and muscles. We are experiencing much better and longer sleep. Hope that is helpful.

It's fairly firm, I would recommend you go down to a mattress store and lay down on one of their memory foam mattresses. That is the firmness of that type of mattress.

It is firm enough but not too firm. We have a queen memory foam mattress and they can be pretty heavy. Put this on slats and you should be good to go!

No. It is too soft. It would bottom out. I am not happy with mine. I'm thinking that the next time I add to my review I will lower its rating to a 1. I turned the pad over and it already has low places forming on the new side. I would not recommend the purchase of this pad. I am still sleeping on mine. It is better than nothing on my firm mattress.

It is definitely firmer than I expected it to be. It doesn't seem to have much give but if you like a supportive mattress then this is great. My wife and I threw a mattress pad on top and it is just right for us. If you do want to try it out here is a coupon code that still works for $50 off. https://www.tuftandneedle.com/r/asCKyMMu

Its a bit more firm than a pillow top mattress, but I did put on a padded mattress cover and it softened it up a bit. Very supportive mattress, I have a bad back and this is by far the best mattress I have ever slept on.

It's a very soft pillow, at least the one that I had received. I would put my back against it, and it would just fold and I would feel myself slumping down immediately. If you want support or a firmer pillow, this is not the one.

I would say it's about medium. I haven't slept on it yet. That's really the only way your going to know if works for you. I would think if it's too soft it's not going to give you much cushion. I can update after I've spent a night on it. I bought it for the same reason. It's about 2 1/2 thick not 1 as mary c states.

Compared to what i owed previously, this has the right firmness for me. My back no longer aches. If yoy need something more firm, this may not be for you. I will say that it doesn't spring back like it did when i first purchased it, but still no more back pain. You may have to look at another product. This may not work for you.

It's going to depend on your definition of too firm. I don't think it's especially firm, but it's not soft and squishy either. I got the thicker version, but you might want to go with the thin version.

So I had an old Serta mattress. I had a 3" Lucid already on that. This new one I just piled on top. I have no back pain and sleep through the night. I have to believe it will definitely isolate as it's very solid and supportive. Funny thing is that it feels too firm, but, it's not. I'm 6'4" and 205 lbs and really sleep better now.

It is not a thick mattress pad. In my opinion it didn't affect the firmness of my mattress.

It's not firm enough IMO. It stretches when you do some yoga poses on it so you have to be careful. It is soft and provides a good cushion.
