I really like the color of this mattress - it is more beautiful in person. The quality is evident, and after sleeping on it for a couple weeks, I can say that it has the right amount of firmness. It is firm, yet has just enough softness and support to cushion your joints so you don't wake up achy in the morning. I have found that I do however sleep hot (also it is summer) and this mattress is not very cooling. I have solved this problem by turning down the thermostat at night. If you live in a colder climate, this will not be an issue I imagine.
