This mattress is the perfect balance between firm and soft. Before I used to always toss and turn during the night due to pressure points and I don't anymore. I sleep like a baby! I also used to have back pain and would sometimes wake up feeling like someone beat me with a baseball bat while I was sleeping. It took about a week or so for this mattress to align everything and I no longer have pain. I love this mattress, The best mattress I ever owned. As if the sleep quality wasn't enough, on top of that the edges are so firm and don't cave in when you sit on the edge. Would totally recommend this mattress.
