As title suggests, this is > very < comfortable. I am primarily a side sleeper and I don't wake up with any pressure point pain on hips or shoulders. In fact, I have a sensitive tail-bone due to a previous injury and for years I have not been able to sleep on my back, until I got this bed. And it appears to be built very sturdily. I expect to own this for a very long time and sleep in comfort for those years. Highly recommended.
