Very firm, provides pain relief, best for back and side sleepers
From delivery to one week of use:
Package was delivered a week late. Package was lost. When it arrived, the box was jacked up. Looked like it had been through hell, resurfaced, went back to hell, and made it to my front door. All was good though, mattress was well packed and wrapped. This thing weighs about 90 pounds or so. I unboxed and let it firm up to normal size, which took about 36 hours.
First night of sleep: With a 2/inch memory foam topper and down mattress topper, it was very firm. Firm to the point that my arms and hands fell asleep when I transitioned to my side in the middle of the night. This thing is firm, not medium firm, but like 9/10 firm. Wife did not complain of neck pain though, but back was a little stiff in the morning.
Slept on it for a few more days and we started to adjust slightly but wanted to change out our topper and ditch the memory foam. Decided we would try both mattress toppers on it and remove the memory foam. That made a huge difference.
Were now a few weeks in and sleeping much better. Wife has no more neck and back pain so thats a win.
Recommendations: if you use a box spring, change it out for a metal platform or something more solid. If youre a stomach sleeper, look elsewhere. If you like very firm, then youre all set. If you need more of a medium firm, may need to make adjustments like we did.
Final thoughts: This was touted as more of a medium firm bed and I know mattress firmness is subjective, but this is very firm. Spent over 500 on the mattress and another 100+ just to get it to that medium firmness we were looking for, so that wasnt ideal, but all is okay now. Could definitely have better edge support, but overall it sleeps cool and weve finally adjusted.
