I honestly didn't have high expectations for this mattress but we needed a king mattress for our new bed and this one was a great price so we thought we'd give it a try. I'm so glad we did, it is AMAZING! The best mattress we've ever slept on, both my husband and I love it. We had an all-foam Nectar brand mattress before this one and I would always wake up with back pain. My back pain now is completely gone and it's because of this mattress. It's not too soft or firm, it's just right. LOVE IT!
