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.

It started out very firm - we bought a 4" mattress topper to add some cushion to the top. Now that we've had it for approx 60 days, it's softened up to about medium firmness and is very comfortable.

YES, this topper will make your sleeping experience much more comfortable. That's why I purchased mine to put on top of a very firm mattress. Makes a wonderful and restful sleeping experience.

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.

It is the height/thickness of the mattress, not the firmness. Firmness depends on the layers in between, read the label carefully.

Maybe if you had two. I prefer having two. But my husband is ok with one. I've had mine for a year and my high plush since February and they're both holding up perfectly. Although I do wish I'd gotten another firm because I don't like sinking into my pillow. :)

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

It's supportive but I would not call it firm. In fact we bought it for my daughters bed because she complained it was too firm of a mattress. She is now much more comfortable with the topper.

I wouldn´t say it provides firm support. It makes the top layer softer. If your mattress is too hard on top this product will make it softer. The firmness depends on the rest of the support (your mattress).

I rather doubt it, this topper is not very soft. It is softer than the very hard mattress I put it onto, but the base is not a memory foam mattress, just a normal hard mattress. It helped a little bit, but I felt it was still just a bit on the firm side. Hope that helps.

This probably gives as much padding to the original mattress as adding a mattress. I added a mattress but it wasn't much softer than the original. This pad helps.

I'm a 195lb man, and even though 5.5 should be rather firm, I found it to be much too soft for my liking. (I was looking for something firm.) I had a 4" memory foam topper from my previous spring mattress that I put on top of this though, and it feels much better (firm) now. I'd say if you want something you can sink into a bit, this would be right up your alley.

No, I don't think so. In my opinion this topper is better suited for making a firm bed softer. The topper has no support of its own.

I bought the topper for a tempurpedic bed that was to firm, the quality of the topper is nice but not plush enough. Maybe a lesser density would be softer. I ended up with a memory foam topper.

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.

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

I think the shock of first laying on it is that it is very firm, but your body just slowly nestles into it. We have had ours a couple of months and it is still very firm when first sitting or laying down, but it has settled a bit after the first few weeks. Give it some more time, both for the mattress and your body to adjust to the difference. We are very happy with ours, but it did take some adjustment time, after being used to an old spring/coil mattress.
