I don't know if I got a dud but this mattress feels FIRM versus medium. I had the worst sleep the first night tossing and turning on this hard bed. I ended up buying a 2 inch memory foam topper to place on top of it hoping it would allow me to sleep better, but I can still feel the hard mattress underneath. I'm going to return the mattress. So unfortunate because it looks great and I really wanted to like it.
