We had a $2,200 bed for about 7 years. I loved it, but we needed a bigger bed.  My husband is disabled and has to get up every few hours.  We got this bed, and the first time I sat on it, I thought it would be horrible for my husband.  It felt like a marshmallow.  Then I laid on it, and somehow it became really firm.  But then, the weirdest thing happened and it became soft and firm at the same time and there is absolutely no way to describe that. My husband slept through the night for the first time in years! And I fall asleep much faster.  The price we paid was 1/3rd of our old bed, and that includes the headboard/footboard and box spring all bought at Wayfair.  I can't say enough about this bed.
