Initially we had a difficult experience finding what would make my husband and I both happy because there were so many options. I wanted a little softer and he wanted more firm. We purchased a different brand mattress at first and ended up not being happy, so when we returned to Mattress Firm to discuss it with the Sales Rep. He recommended this one and felt like it would make us both happy. It was delivered 2 days later and we have loved it since. Although this one is categorized as a "Firm", it is less firm than most firms due to the type of mattress it is. So it ended up being soft enough for me, but firm enough for my husband. Would highly recommend!
