The mattress is fantastic. I need support for my back and hips, but I despise pressure spots that have caused me pain in the past from rock hard beds. When I'm side sleeping, this is the right blend of support and softness, so my back feels amazing and my shoulders and hips don't have to suffer. Make sure you wait at least two weeks before making a decision. When I initially opened the mattress, it wasn't nearly firm enough. However, after a few weeks, it had completely developed and is now an incredible dream. I also compared it to Casper and Purple, and it's not only cheaper, but it's also a great mattress!
