I bought this a year ago and my mom stole it from me. I let her borrow it and she will not give it back. She says it is so soft comfortable and warm and makes her feel pampered. She also suffers from arthritis. I have bought inexpensive comforters that I truly regret (rough feel scratchy lumpy), but this I feel was a great buy. I have washed mine with downy for even more softness and there was no pilling. I'm here to order a second one for myself.

I am not familiar with this item but wanted to pass on the suggestion that you could purchase a duvet cover for it if it's not soft enough for you.

Considering the price, its not Egyptian cotton, but the shell is soft not scratchy.

It is soft but not as soft as down since it is a down alternative. Probably would not work for what you are seeking.

There seems to be a top layer of latex, resting on a bottom layer of memory foam. I have only slept on it a few times, and I have a nice memory foam topper on top of it for now because I'm pregnant and sleep on my side and there's nowhere else to store the topper. However, before I put the topper on it I tried it out while awake. The feel is firm, but not hard. You don't sink in like you would with a memory foam mattress. However, you also don't get the feeling of something pushing back into you and digging in, like you might with an inner coil mattress. Some dense foam mattresses have felt "hard" to me. This one just feels firm and supportive-- not plush. It is almost like what you would expect an air mattress to be if the air mattress were impossibly perfectly super-full and taut-- but it has a little more give or "sink" than that. Also, I am told that in several weeks it will soften just a bit, then stay that way, and it will feel less firm than synthetic latex (it is natural latex). As a final note, I have noticed that people really vary in their perception of what is "firm" versus "soft." I would call this definitely firm, but far from extreme.

It feels firm, but when you sleep on it, it's nice. I'm 6'4' #200 male and slept on a 15 yr old firm Sealy (I know, it's junk)...with a 3" Lucid on top of it, and after a while started having back soreness again...I bought this 4" and added it to the top. Sleep like a baby now. Actually remember dreams and rarely wake up. Never wake up, and never wake up sore. Great nights sleep.

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.

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.

I'm not sure about you; but after I take a dump... I'm NOT looking for something that "feels nice against my bum"!!!!Yes, I want something marginally soft; but strength to not fall apart as I wipe me arse is WAY more important to me!!!! And this product has both those qualities!!!!!!

This one is thin but still a little hard....if you're looking for softer varies you might try down pillows or coconut foam.

For this particular pillow, I thought that it only came in soft. Does yours look like the one pictured? Yours should feel like a memory foam. If not, or if you just don't like it, then I'd look into returning/exchanging it. Good luck!

You would have to try the blue (less firm) one. I only have the black one so I cant make a comparison. The blue one would have been too soft for me.

2- much softer than I expected. I believe the underlying foam is just to soft. Understand that I was looking for a very firm mattress for my back.

I would say a good combination of firm and medium. It's not too firm where you feel like you're snuggling a hard memory foam pillow, but it's not too soft where if you throw your leg over it that it squishes down to nothing. I bought because of spinal surgery. I would suggest to get a cover for it because it is not a soft feeling case it's in.

I do not believe this "Extra Soft" version is made from memory foam. This cushion crushes almost completely under my 116-pound frame. Perfect for the very frail, I'm sure they made this version for people with bed sores or friable skin. I would recommend a more firm cushion for everyone else, I purchased the "Extra Firm" for my father who is a large man, and he said the cushion is very comfortable and has allowed the sore on his coccyx to heal completely. I believe the "Extra Firm" is real memory foam, but am not completely sure as I have not seen it in person (he lives 1000 miles away).

I'd say it's between a fabric and plastic feel. My husband uses it and doesn't mind the stiff feel. I don't use mine because of the very tight squeeze getting the pillow in it, the pillow becomes VERY hard--too compact. In fact, it really doesn't fluff up because of the tight fit. It might be great for allergies but you lose a lot of the soft pillow feel.

Hi, I also have a tempur-pedic bed. They take time to soften up. Fold the pillow in half and sit on while watching TV. The cloud is the only pillow in the last 5 years I like. I have arthritis in my upper back and all other pillows are too flat or hard. I paid 3500$ for the tempur-pedic bed and it's worth every penny. The pillow gets better its big and stiff in the beginning though...

It's pretty soft once you're laying on it. It feels like a giant marshmallow in my opinion, which is great for my back

I see you got some mixed results! The top of the mattress is quite soft, giving it an initial cushy feel, but the mattress is quit firm. I would agree with the "supportive" answer. Beware, the first week I got this mattress it was difficult to get out of bed, that's how awesome it is.
